I remember Get Smart from the days when my parents wouldn't buy us Cable, and we could only catch it on free preview weekends. Nick at Nite was amazing when it was a delicacy.
I have low expectations when it comes to rehash, and I generally try to avoid it. So I was pleasantly surprised by the update of Mel Brook's classic spy spoof. Carrell is wise to not try to channel Don Adams, and his funniest moments are so deadpan and awkward that it seems more like the big screen version of The Office. Ann Hathaway is skinny, which is nice, but adds little else to the film.
Altogether, a pleasant way to spend the weekend, but don't be sad if you have to wait for a free preview cable weekend to see it.
