Get Smart

I enjoyed this film but it could have been a lot funnier. The trouble is that the main protagonist was already portrayed as an intelligent yet inexperienced creature; so dumbing him down for comical situations should have been out of the question. It would have been great to see some of the experienced agents in action too. There were some good gags like stealing the car out of the museum but they could have been stretched out a lot further. And they could have done a lot more funny scenes with the faulty steel doors that they use as they enter their headquarters. Agent 99 could have been developed a bit more. We don’t even learn her name. They must have had a lot of fun making it, but the comic side isn’t passed onto the audience. The secret exit from the flight to Russia was very novel, but other than that there’s little that hasn’t already been done before.
