I saw Get Smart at a test screening with Phil and Janelle last year. The film was pretty much complete but some of the effects weren't finished and the music wasn't final. I really enjoyed it. Having watched the original show quite a bit as a kid, I thought the movie did a good job keeping the tone of the show. There are quite a few clever references to it as well. I laughed quite a bit and thought there was a good mix of comedy and action. Steve Carell did a great job and I thought he and Anne Hathaway had good chemistry. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson continues to impress me as a comedic actor. I should have known this after being a big fan of his comedic wrestling promos. He has definitely taken those skills and refined them even more for the big screen. The other highlights of the cast were definitely Terence Stamp and Alan Arkin.

If you're looking for a fun comedy and a break from the summer action movies I would recommend this one. Like I said, I saw an early cut of the film but it was really solid so I doubt the final product will be much different. If you're a fan of Carell, slapstick comedy, or the old series you will definitely enjoy it. I would actually pay to see it again but I'm a bit behind on my movie going thanks to the move. I definitely need to see The Hulk and really would like to see Prince Caspian. I think I'm going to save The Happening for the dollar theater. Decisions like these are why I enjoy summer so much.
