Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control

i have a decent name for the film Get Smart's Excuse to try to con people into spending more money! This is a pitiful attempt o take an aspect of one film (which by all accounts sucks also) and use a spin off to make more cash, if Get smart was the summer hit of the ear, sure make a spin off/sequel but this is premature at best! the results for get smart are not even registered! Its not like making all three lord of the rings films at once, its a remake of a TV series into a movie, and they rarely ever do super well what chance does it have aainst the other films being released, on te up shot, at least it will be better than "meet dave"

Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd happens. Now I have no problem with WB making a movie with these guys I mean they were great, heck I don't even mind having a 72 minute long spin off for them (which is actually like 68 minutes when you take out the credits). But don't rush the movie for just for the money give the fans something to enjoy. To me this movie felt rushed and cheap (I know its DTV but come on everything was just way to cheap) the jokes were flat, a few of them worked. Anyways Bruce and Lloyd make this cloak that turns you invisible it gets stolen everyone is after it from the CIA to the Maraquayans (however you spell it) and they have X amount of time to get it back before their careers are ruined. The movie is really predictable. Anne Hathaway has a cameo which doesn't really matter cause she wasn't funny. Steve and the Rock don't show up either. Well anyways this movie as you can see is more on the bad side 4 out of ten.

This spin-off from the new, "Get Smart," movie more closely resembles one of those episodes of shows like, "CSI," where they focus on the secondary, or even lesser,characters, with the producers harping on about how these are, "wonderful actors," with, "great characters," that need to be given the chance to, "shine," when in fact we all know it's because the real stars wanted a week off. There's a reason those actors and characters aren't the leads, and the same goes for this movie.

Although, I think you'd be hard pressed calling it a, "movie," considering the run time is listed as 72 minutes when, in fact, the actual movie itself barely lasts an hour (another way it's like a TV episode) with the end credits being stretched out ever.... so.... slowly and various average outtakes and scenes not actually in the movie, but obviously intended to be, spliced into them. If the scenes are, "funny," enough to go in the end credits why the heck are't they IN the movie? Having said that, it's mildly amusing without ever being hilarious but hardly worthy of it's own release onto DVD. Unless you're a movie studio looking to suck every last dollar out of your new Summer Blockbuster. Stand up Warner Bros! The best thing in it is Larry Miller, who has the best lines in the film (which might be damning him with faint praise but at least they made me laugh). And I'm including the end credits in that. That way I can sell this review as, "Feature Length."

I don't understand why peoples hate this movie. OK is not a Oscar winning but is not as bad as many others, say for example Quarantine and by far is not the worst film. Is entertaining, funny and you don't feel that you have lost one hour of your life. Problem with peoples writing about a movie or another is that you can't trust anybody, good movies listed as sheet and bad movies (and I mean really bad) commented as hors d'oeuvres. Let's try not to judge movies about our expectations, or even if they follow closely or not the action described in a book. If a movie is entertaining and get you in the right mood is OK. Don't expect that a movie cook the meal for you, or change your life, or take your child to the school. Just to worth seeing and make you smile, and from time to time finding a real gem. And don't forget, we need sometime a easy one, not a Titanic (which by the way didn't like it), just something to pass the time, or amusing about dumbness of other human being.

I never saw the "Get Smart" movie that this direct-to-video movie is spun off of, namely because I can't stand Steve Carell and that I never thought the original "Get Smart" TV show was all that funny. But the opportunity to see this for free came up, and I decided to give it a try. Though the events of this movie seem to be playing at the same time of the events of the Carell movie, the events of this movie seemed pretty clear; you don't need to see the Carell movie to understand what's going on here.

It's a harmless but mostly forgettable movie. Though there was something in this movie that bothered me. Though the characters of Bruce and Lloyd are partners, when it came down to a scene focusing on just one of them, 95% of these scenes were focused on Lloyd, not the Asian-American Bruce. Subtle racism? Maybe. On the other hand, Bruce is shown to have a girlfriend (who is Caucasian - rare for a movie to show such a male Asian / female Caucasian relationship), while the poor Lloyd is shown to be hopeless with women. Judge for yourself.
