Saw Get Smart over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. I can't call it an "A" movie, but it was pretty entertaining. They went back to the first few episodes of the TV series in the sense that Maxwell Smart wasn't a complete nincompoop and was actually competent some of the time. I always preferred that over the "laugh at me, I'm an idiot" schtick that came to dominate the show.

Steve Carell is OK as Maxwell Smart, Alan Arkin is GREAT as The Chief, and the Rock turns in a suprisingly good comic performance.

They kept the show up-to-date, but paid appropriate homage to items and bits that were used in the original series. It was good to see that old Sunbeam in action even for a little while! I remember buying a model kit of that car when the show first came on.
