Get Smart

Yesterday I saw Get Smart. And yep, it's the new one with Steve Carell, and Anne Hathaway.
One of these days I'll try out the older version, but until then, the new one is good.

I know a lot of reviewers say all the jokes were spent on the commercials and ads and stuff for it, but they're missing a lot. That movie has a lot of more subtle jokes, and if you spend the whole time watching for the stuff in the trailers, you'll miss them. True, it's funny seeing the Rock staple a paper to some guy's head, and it's also funny seeing Steve and Anne slam into a wall when aiming for a window... but that's not all. I'm not giving those little tidbits away, I'll let you enjoy it yourself.

Anyways, here's your summary.

Maxwell Smart (Carell) has spent a long time working for Control at a desk job. He's their best analyst and spends a lot of time figuring out what's going on inside KAOS agent's heads. Basically, he's got probably the most boring job there, but he does it well, so it's good. Except... he's not happy. He wants to get out there and be an agent who gets noticed and admired like Agent 23 (the Rock), but instead he's busy with his mind-numbing desk job.
Every year though, he gets out there and takes the Field Agent Test... and this year, he passes. Unfortunately for him however, the Chief wants him to continue with his analyst work due to his excellence. One day he heads for work at Control and finds the place a wreck. Looks like KAOS messed everything up. The Chief wants his agents to get out there and find out what's up, but all of their identities have been compromised... Except Max and Agent 99 (Hathaway). So Max (whose official agent number is 86) and 99 go deep undercover to see what KAOS has been up to and what Control can do to stop them.

I'll let you figure out how the story ends, and again, any comments, movie suggestions, ratings, anything, write it in the comment box and I'll check it out!

Until tomorrow!
