Thanks for the review.  I loved Get Smart as  kid but I think I can wait for the video to see this version.

Saw this last night and I must say I LOVED it. Loved it so much that I will be buying the DVD when it comes out. And, if I weren't so poor, might even see it in theatre again. There was very little screen time in which I was not cracking up. I feel like the younger viewers were just not getting the jokes and oft-times subtle references. (My family was the loudest in the audience)

There is a little crudeness, so it is not for the youngsters, but I think any Get Smart fans out there will like it. :)

Features a very silly dragon. Hilarity MAY ensue.

I saw it as well, and agree with the review. It's good fun, hilarious, and the chemistry between Carrel and Hathaway was great.

I haven't seen it, but I love the TV show, I used to watch it all the time with other old TV on TV land, I think, and it was hilarious.  I probably haven't seen as much as some of you, but I can't wait to see it, and I might actually like Steve Carrel in it (I don't know something about him lately just bugs me, I think's it's Evan Almighty, that was bad!)
