Or… Why I give my heart and soul to Steve Carell. Or… Anne Hathaway: too much of a good thing? When I was in high school, I loved watching reruns of the old Get Smart series. During my period of great teen cynicism, the show just matched what I needed perfectly, being cornball stupid and smartly sarcastic [...]

No Don Adams, but it still has plenty of charm and laughs. Steve Carell will never be Don Adams. Adams was iconic in his role as Maxwell Smart, and no matter how it’s been remade, Get Smart will always be remembered for Adams. Still, Carell does a fantastic job in updating the character in this remake, creating his own spin that’s immensely funny and enjoyable. The heart of Get Smart is still...

A couple weeks ago, author, actor, and humorist John Hodgman was the guest on NPR's 'Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!' As I listened to John and host Peter Sagal, John's simple, polite, and deadpan delivery of often ludicrous responses to Peter's questions reminded me very strongly of an old comedy album of my dad's that I listened to time and time again growing up, where ABC television announcer Ernie Anderson...

Missed it by that much! I'm sure most remember the popular television series Get Smart from the mid-'60s, mainly because of Don Adams' hilariously silly performance as Maxwell Smart. Taking the role here is Steve Carell, who indeed looks like Don Adams, but does he have the flair to be the bumbling CONTROL agent Maxwell Smart'After CONTROL becomes infiltrated...

Great casting can't get past some really bad story decisions in this big-screen adaptation of the seminal 1960s TV series, a send-up of the James Bond franchise that announced creator Mel Brooks as a force to be reckoned with in American comedy.
