I totally disagree about Carell being awesome. However, I can agree that there probably isn't anyone better suited to do Get Smart and that's why I refuse completely, totally and utterly to ever go see this remake!
(If they couldn't find anyone better suited than Carell, then they shouldn't have made the movie at all.)
(Actually, I take that back. Matthew Broderick would have been far better suited to do a remake of Get Smart.)

It wants to be romantic and it's not. That's how seriously I want to take it.
If you say they've entertained thoughts in the series, I can't contradict you, but the tone of the movie, and apparently the series as far as I can tell, is very crass and ugly. I don't buy that it has heart or soul or romance or relationships or anything like that.

Broderick?? No way. No way. The "Get Smart" role calls for a buffoon, not a ballsless wimp, which is all Broderick seems to play nowadays. This is why he was exactly wrong for Inspector Gadget too -- his persona neither has the stupidity nor the confidence for it. |

On second thought, you may be right. What he did to the remake of The Producers was so painful, I couldn't watch for more than 5 minutes.
Still, I can't stand Carrell, and my vivid memories of Don Adams in that part just won't allow me to see the movie of Get Smart. I'm also totally unsure of Hathaway playing Agent 99, as I'm sure she'll try to immitate Barbara Feldon, and I just don't see it working. Although Alan Arkin will probably be a very good Chief. |

| A particular small thing I liked about this film is that the catch-up at the beginning is done much better than they usually are. |
