We saw this last night. It was much funnier than I expected. In fact, most of the theater was laughing out loud throughout the film. Steve Carell was very funny and at times, touching. He did not imitate Don Adams (which could have fallen flat), but he did portay some of Adams' more endearing characteristics.

It was fun to see the original gadgets., etc., used in new ways, too.

I haven't seen "Get Smart" yet, I hate going to theaters, but I did want to comment on how brilliant Carell is.

I didn't feel well the last 2 days so I sat in front of my computer and did a marathon viewing of The Office, seasons 1 thru 3 and I will finish 4 today. Steve Carell is ridiculously funny, the rest of the cast is nearly perfect and the direction is amazing. I couldn't stop watching them, at one point going 12 hours nonstop. I know that it's the "cool" thing to say that the American version isn't as good as the British but I don't agree at all, two completely different takes and both just as funny.

He was also hilarious in Evan the Almighty.

Hell yes, he's so great on The Office. Everyone is, really. I think season 2 is my favorite overall.

Yes, she seems to have a number of very nice qualities.... she's probably really smart too.
