... that the Get Smart film looks like being a box-office hit despite almost universally bad reviews. For more on the reviews, and some insights from people connected to the old TV show, visit the WouldYouBelieve.com fan website.

Having just seen "Get Smart"
Having just seen "Get Smart" the movie, I can recommend it to your readers. There are a few good laughs to be had. If you are a fan of the WWE, and aren't we all, you can see a couple of your wrestling favourites doing some real acting for a change.
Look out for Terrence Stamp in an all too brief appearance as Maxwell Smart's arch nemesis, Seigfried. I kept on wanting him to deliver THAT famous line from Priscilla !
Anne Hathaway was just a little too butch as "99". She lacked that femme fatale/pseudo sex kitten persona that was Barbara Feldon's trademark in the series.
Steve Carrell was too straight playing Maxwell Smart for my liking, though. Don Adams version of the character was far more bumbling. That's what made ALL of the gags work the first time around in the original, and certainly the best, series. However, the film is enjoyable and I'd say expect a sequel at some stage.
Rating : 6 out of 10.
I am hoping to see it
I am hoping to see it tonight, so I'll let you know what I think, Brad.
