Get Smart preview

June 5, 2008

In a re-creation of Mel Brooks’ 1965 TV series, Steve Carell
plays Maxwell Smart, a secret agent with the IQ of Mr. Bean, whose accidental
crime-fighting skills are put to the test when called upon by C.O.N.T.R.O.L. to
battle the evil forces of KAOS — Pinky and the Brain conspirators determined to
take over the world. Peter Segal (the mastermind behind “Nutty Professor II:
The Klumps”) directs this summer flick-out-of-your-memory, looking to be just
another annoying James Bond parody — banana-peel humor with a bodacious babe
(Agent 99, aka Anne Hathaway) ready to bail out our unlikely hero at a moment’s
notice. If that’s not enough to steer you away from the box office, Muscle
Milk-mustached Dwayne Johnson also stars. Don’t know about you, but I still
don’t care to smell what “The Rock” is cooking. June 20.
