...and I actually enjoyed the heck outta it? I feel dirty.

It was because of Anne Hathaway, wasn't it?

Ebert loved it and I love Ebert and rarely disagree with him. I really get the impression I'll hate it from the trailer though.

Ebert was man enough to love Legends of the Fall <3 Pan's Labyrinth <3

No. If it was Love Guru you saw instead and enjoyed that would be a different story.

Naw. Get Smart is the kind of filler summer film you watch in between huge blockbusters, which in this case is Iron Man, Indiana Jones, and The Dark Knight. It gives you some laughs but you will forget all about its existence by the following year.

No, but she was so delicious in it, though.

When is Wanted coming out?

I would watch that one instead.

True, but Get Smart was better than Indy, which was an out-and-out turd, and I enjoyed it more than Iron Man too, which was just so overwhelmingly bland (and Im convinced that if you were to remove Downey from the equation, NO ONE is jacking off to it). Get Smart is as predictable and formulaic as these types of movies come, but it still clicked with me (casting, chemistry and some well-timed jokes/gags go a long way), and I got more baseline enjoyment from it than either on of the "big" blockbusters released so far this summer.

Wrika: Wanted is out next week.

I can't speak on the latter, since I've never even seen a movie with her in it.

Solo · « **Reply #12 on:** June 21, 2008, 09:51:55 PM »

Alan Arkin and Terence Stamp both have small roles, but totally steal several scenes apiece. Each had one scene in particular that made me LOLZ big time.

You get too see a lot of her AMAZING legs in this scene too. Short dress (which eventually becomes even shorter) + long sexy legs = bonerific!

she looked best before the makeover in Princess Diaries. She was basically a grown up Hermonie

I'm excited for THE ROCK and THE GREAT KHALI in a movie together, even if they don't have any lines together.

I would say go for it. Based on some of the other shit we've seen this summer, you could do a lot worse.

They don't share any scenes as far as I can recall, but both are great in this. Khali is basically the "Jaws" of the movie (they even rip-off the Jaws-and-Bond-fight-in-midair-over-a-parachute scene from Moonraker, lolz).

As much as I love Steve Carrell, he's no Don Adams.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #27 on:** June 23, 2008, 12:59:36 AM »

I like The Rock. Not in the same way that I appreciate an actor like Daniel Day-Lewis or DiCaprio (fucks yous, he was awesome in Blood Diamond), but he definitely has charisma, and a knack for the action movie role. Not sure about this movie though.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #28 on:** June 23, 2008, 01:14:12 AM »

the movie was hit-and-miss. the characters were great but the movie was a bit slight.

I think my biggest issue was that it was too much action and not enough comedy. it had several "real" summer blockbuster action sequences, and when those were going on, the comedy just stopped...

looking forward to the inevitable sequel

with Patrick Warburton!

Solo · « **Reply #29 on:** June 23, 2008, 09:58:32 AM »

I will agree with that criticism - at times it veers more into flat out action territory than comedy territory. Still, its pulled off well enough that I enjoyed it (especially the scene with the chief, Max, the van and the plane).

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #30 on:** June 23, 2008, 10:14:24 AM »

Mmm... Anne Hathaway. I think I'm going to see this on Wednesday, which is mah birfday interestingly enough. Also, any Hathaway fans that haven't seen it yet need to find the good scenes from Havok online... I wouldn't actually rent the movie as it sucks but it does feature her bewbs which are mmm mmm good.

Get Smart was pretty good! +1 for Bill Murray in the tree.

+1? Really? I was nominating that for Most Gratuitous Cameo of the year. I didn't laugh at all and just wondered, "Why the fuck is Bill Murray in this movie?" I mean, if it was Mel Brooks or Don Adams (which I think is impossible seeing as he's dead), I would at least get some satisfaction out of knowing it was referencing the original movie. Bill Murray's role just seemed forced and it wasn't funny.

Still, I liked the movie. Saw it for five bucks. It was worth it.

Great thread. I think I will go see Get Smart sometime. I had written it off as summer shit movie, but you guys have changed my mind.
