Get Smart

[ironymaiden]

i had very low expectations, and it exceeded them. it's forgettable and most of the gags are telegraphed from miles away, but it avoids scatological humor and keeps a light hand with the schadenfreude. Smart is actually smart. there are several funny political jokes that will be dated in six months. good ensemble acting. Masi Oka has a nice little part, and so does the Rock.

i'd say it's aimed at a family evening out with older kids. i had a perfectly pleasant and inoffensive time in my neighborhood theater with my husband.
