Get (Not All That) Smart

To begin with, I never really had any interest in seeing this comedy, so I was bound not to fully enjoy it. Moving on; for a film in general it wasn't too, too shabby. But for a '60s television adaption, it really wasn't that good. It lacked a strong plot; you're is never told exactly why they're trying to save the world- scratch that- save the U.S. government. Nor are you ever shown or told just how Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) falls for Max (Steve Carrell), considering she appears to hate him for more than half of the time. (And while we're mentioning actors, the one thing I whole-heartedly liked about it was the phenomenal casting and acting). But, to top off a loose plot, I found the jokes and humor to be not particularly hysterical. What still has me confused is how 75% of the humor is geared towards youngsters and yet there's a bounty of intense action and sexual references to go along with the PG-13 rating. All in all, I was left slightly puzzled and as if I'd wasted my $8. My advice- wait for it to arrive via Netflix.
