Friday Movie Review (Late)
Went with number 1 son to Get Smart at the Continental and here is the musical movie review (recalling the TV show's theme music):
Dumb Dumb Dumb ----Dumb
Dumb Dumb Dumb ----Dumb
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb
And not near funny enough. 6-7 funny things and that was it. They made effective fun of our president (James Caan) and in a second of fair and balanced ribbing, went after Hollywood types but the joke against them fell flat as a pancake.
The director is young Peter Segal who has directed about 10 unfunny comedies before this one. I don't think he was out of diapers when the TV show with the late Don Adams was first run and popular.
This one's failure is not Steve Carell's fault. Denver Bronco's fans will recognize the air marshall who tackles Carell on the plane. At least he didn't spit in anyone's face.
There was a hint of nostalgia here but the cone of silence fell flat and no Craw. Enough said. Puddy from Sienfeld played Hymie 2.0 and could have been better used.
