Netflix Top 100 - 42. - Get Smart


Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway star in this mild remake of the popular 60's series. If you like the series don't spend too much time comparing the two, and over analyzing the faults of this movie.  I started out thinking how bad this was, but as the movie progressed I realized it's not the same.  The old school "Cone of Silence" and the telephone shoe were corny and funny, but this is an updated version of the show.  I just ran with it after that point and I liked this film.  Anne Hathaway(Agent 99) as usual is incredibly hot in this one, with great outfits to compliment Steve Carrell's bungling agent 86. 

An appearance by wrestling star the Rock(Dwayne Johnson) even works in this film.  Much better than his ridiculous starring roles like "The Tooth Fairy".Who funded that project?  Supporting roles by Alan Arkin, Bill Murray, and James Caan make this a funny movie which is worth it to rent for some laughs.  Just Queue It!
