Umm. My wife wanted me to to see it with her. (I may be dumb - but I’m not stupid!). That, and we had already missed the showing for Ironman.
I don’t go to movies very often so I’m not too critical. It wasn’t very good though - seemed like just a lot of gags sort of strung together.
MY favorite line was: “We’re in postion. Pretty much.” as the evil Chaos guy radios to the others after his driver pulls up next to the curb but with about 3’ of the rear of the car still hanging out into the road. (Yeah - I guess if that was my favorite line the movie probably was pretty bad!)
“..the career of Robert Downey Jr, the liberal drug addict”
He was on some late-night show and said something to the effect that he is more conservative now. Something to the effect that being a compassionate liberal defending the choices people make is pretty tough to do after spending months in prison with them. He was serious - plus it gave me a good laugh. (No one else was laughing though).
I believe I've made my point.
They are such leftists It is a wonder that they havent come up with an mandatory tax on those that consume entertainment, with the proceeds distributed to the left and they dont have to produce any movies.....
Looks like his personal life as well as his professional career have benefitted from jail. I like those times when jail actually serves to rehabilitate.
Dan Ackroyd is still funny, but then I'm having to reach way back in SNL history to find him.
That's the main thing I worried about the movie. You can't catch the original Get Smart wit without Mel Brooks being in on it. The most you can do is try to imitate it.
It's not bad. The trick is to not take it as a serious movie. It's entertaining if you treat it as a standard dumb action flick.
WAYYYY back! LOL! Of course, there were the good ones. Ironically enough, Billy Crystal was not very memorable on SNL (except for the immortal “YOU LOOK MAHHHVELOUS”), but a comic genius everywhere else. I personally liked Second city TV back in the 1970’s.
I didn’t even find it entertaining. “Oh goish, we have to break into Buckingham palace!”
“Oh darn we have to break into the white house.”
“Oh shucks, now we have to kidnap the President!”
It was just like a long episode of the A Team.
I love it when a plan comes together!
LOVED ZOHAN!!!!!!!
