general consensus

I saw this movie opening day and loved it. I was first skeptical about it when I first saw the teasers for it because I didn't know about the "Get Smart" series. I thought that it was a made up character for Carell. I ended up seeing it months later and enjoyed it. It made me want to check out the show and now it's one of my favorite shows.

I can't hate on a movie that led me to the show.

I voted Yes because it was a decent movie. it was far from the masterpiece of the original show, but it wasn't awful.

yeah, I liked it, especially the scene on the Plane.

When I first saw the movie I had never seen an episode of the original series, the movie is what got me to watch the show. I loved the movie, it was laugh out loud funny and was enjoyable all around. However after I watched the entire series over the summer of 08, thanks to a local channel I was disappointed in the movie. I questioned a lot of the new characteristics of the characters and now with a sequel in the works, I am expecting a lot more from it. I get that the movie was trying to revamp the old series but I think they took it a little too far in terms of characters.

I still enjoy the movie from time to time when I try not to compare it with the series and I don't think the movie was a bomb.
