The beginning 10 minutes or so of Get Smart are kind of unsatisfactory, and I guessed “here we go, another preview that causes the dvd looks better than it is”. However it betters greatly from that point, primarily after the beginning meeting of Max with Agent 99
I’ve forever found Anne Hathaway to be one of the lovelist Hollywood actors and she did not fail me here either. Steve Carell has honest comic timing, he may now and then remind you of Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun and Spy Hard mode, but outside of that he manages to make Max a genuinely sympathetic and human character, not simply a cartoon.
