What can I say that others haven't? This is a brilliant film. I am very disappointed that this was not a hit and seen by more people. When I went to the theatre to see it there were only two other people there. This definitely deserves some Oscars if only for the cinematography.
This story of two people, a man and a little girl, both who are in hospital because of a fall. He is a stunt man for films and she a daughter of migrant workers. The two meet and the man says he will tell the girl a story, but only if she does something for him in return. I won't spoil it for you but the story of those two becomes very moving and affects the "story" he tells her. The images of the "story" are breathtaking as they are filmed all over the world in the most beautiful locations and involve the characters of their real life world. Let me tell you, you won't be disappointed in the ending.
Both the man (played by Lee Pace) and the girl (played so adorably by Catinca Untaru) are wonderful here. I really tried to sell this film to my friends but they all thought it would be too boring. I will have to wait till it comes out on DVD so I can have a movie night and have them watch it then. If you have the opportunity to see this, please do and you won't regret it.

I love Steve Carrell. He is one of the funniest actors out there today. I also am a fan of the Get Smart shows, so when I heard this movie was coming out I thought it would be a lot of fun to see and it was. Anne Hathaway was also good and beautiful. One thing that I was disappointed about was that Max was a stupid in the series. I mean he was successful at his missions only but sheer luck, and with the help of 99. In this movie he is bumbling but not stupid. He does succeed on his own and yes sometimes with the help of 99 but I think they took something special away when they made him smart. Also the series had uses of a lot of funny gadgets, like his silly shoe phone. I think they could have used them more here, but that is my opinion. Otherwise it is a funny film and full of nice cameo appearances.
