Note to filmmakers if you use one of your best jokes as a commerical do not expect the audience to laugh at it during the movie. This is the problem with Get Smart; its not smart enough to be funny. I enjoyed the old TV show because it didn't take itself seriously and I guess it came at a time when spy movie were all the rage. That time has past but a new crop of movie spies has arisen and should have be taken advantage of. To be honest this movie might have been better if Daune Johnson had been cast as Smart instead of Steve Carrell. That would have had very funny possibilities, instead we get somewhat amusing mostly stupid Carrell and whiny Agent 99. Alan Arkin was funny as the chief and Terrance Stamps was amusing as the villain.
