The international trailer for the remake of the classic crime comedy TV series starring Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Alan Arkin, and The Rock. Teaser trailer here.
When I was a kid, I used to watch TV Land a lot. ‘Get Smart’ was my favorite show. When I got older I rented that movie ‘The Nude Bomb’ which was horrific to say the least. I also sat on the edge of my seat every night waiting for that ‘Get Smart’ remake with much of the same cast plus Andy Dick to become good. It never did. So I’ve been anticipating this movie for some time now, trying to forget the fact that remake movies are ALWAYS terrible. The teaser was pretty funny, so hopes were high. Even Bill Murray has a small part in here somewhere. But I just can’t get over the fact that this trailer reminds me of Michael Scott from ‘The Office’ playing Agent 86. And most of the supporting cast, excluding Alda and Hathaway, are terrible additions to the team. And where’s Hymie? And why isn’t Thomas Lennon from ‘Reno 911′ Siegfried? He only looks exactly like him. Maybe if Hollywood found some good directors to do remakes, then they wouldn’t suck so bad. When the only good movie you directed was ‘Tommy Boy,’ maybe a few red flags should have been thrown. Anyway, congratulations Hollywood. You’ve done it again. You’re going to make millions at the expense of a great series created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. I’ll be sitting in my apartment eating ramen noodles, watching my childhood crumble, while you’ll be whisked away in your giant jet. Pretty cool jet by the way.
