Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Get Smart (2008)

The trailers made it seem as though Carrell's Maxwell Smart was a bumbling idiot (the "missed it by that much!" clip that I somehow saw approximately 800 times made me cringe every single one of them). Refreshingly, this was not the case. The script, instead, makes Smart new to field work, but in possession of a sharp mind.

The entire cast was up to the task of looking as though they were having a blast and making sure the audience did as well. It was just a ton of fun -- an Ocean's 11-type trifle.

B+
