movie review - Get Smart

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2021.02.11

This is a luke-warm reboot of a TV show from the '60s that lacks a good deal of the charm of the original. I don't know what it is, but it felt like none of the cast were enjoying themselves as they do a paint-by-numbers bumbling lead male / smart secondary female thing.

Not recommended.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
