So I'll put it right out there: I didn't expect Get Smart to be any good. While I'm a fan of Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, I was a bit weary of little ol' Steve since his not-so-smart venture into Evan Almighty, the un-funny sequel to the hilarious Bruce Almighty.
But I digress. Now, while I've never seen an episode of the television show, my sources parents tell me that it was funny, so I was actually VERY surprised with the turnout of Get Smart, and couldn't stop myself from laughing throughout the entire film.
Steve plays Maxwell Smart, a man so desperate to be an agent, his antics to achieve that goal leave you wondering why on Earth you'd want him to protect you. Steve certainly made the character his own, delivering his lines in a sarcastic, yet somewhat monotone voice that could only be Steve Carell. But almost too quickly into the film, Marqwll is give the position of Agent 87 and is immediately sent on a mission alongside Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway).
