The original 99 was way cute.
Hollywood (white) male bashing?
As smart as re-making the Pink Panther with Steve Martin.
The stupidity of Hollywood knows no bounds.
We conquered the world.
We can take it.
Greatest line in the movie. When they are talking about Chaos trying to explode a nuke in L.A., Maxwell says: “We can’t allow that, we would lose the razor sharp political commentary of the Hollywood stars”.
Most movies are wait for the cheap dvd in the Wal-Mart clearnace rack. There are a few worth getting as new releases.
Extremely rare is the movie that you’ve got to see on the big screen. It requires some kind of huge screen, cinemascope type setting or action that makes the big screen a must.
Carell can do some good work — but he seems to be one of those Hollywood people who simply can’t tell a good script from a bad one: he shows up in some awful movies.
Oh no, I was really looking forward to seeing the movie. Guess I’ll wait and rent the DVD.
I always try to put my self in the room with the producers and greenlighters at the studios when they decide on one of these films. I ask... what in the world made them say YES it is worth 60 million to make. It seems steve martin has been stuck in that same room for the past 20 years.
The original 99 was way cute.
Zohan - funny
Indiana Jones - so so (Already saw National Treasure 2)
Iron Man - surprisingly well done
(I just figured, since we’re reviewing movies....)
Found the TV series vapid... have no desire to see it rehashed on the big screen.
THis movie didn’t get a rating of 54% on Rotten Tomatoes for nothing. It stinks.
I have to question the intelligence of anyone who decides to spend ten bucks to watch this movie after seeing the previews.
It honestly depends - if you’re looking for something like the original TV series, forget about it, and go see something else. If you’re looking for typical Steve Carrell humor (like his character in The Office), you’ll absolutely love it.
I don’t know, I could watch Ann Hathaway for two hours. I’d just take my Ipod to drown out everything else.
Hollywood has completely run out of ideas. Get a 1965 TV guide to see what movies are comming out next year.
Who’s going to get the lead in “My Mother The Car - the Movie”?
Funny, the review makes me want to see it more.. sounds pretty funny.
This is a shame. I loved the show and looked forward to this film. I'll have to console myself by watching the Police Squad movies again this weekend. Don Adams and Leslie Nielson got portraying the arrogant incompetent down pat.
Yes, I saw it with the Movie Gang, but that was because I absolutely put my foot down at Mike Myers latest crap-fest. (The only movies I ever liked him in was the “Shrek” series, maybe because I didn’t have to watch his ugly puss?)
At any rate, the movie wasn’t terrible, and the line about the Hollywood actors and their political views was, I thought, the best line. What bothered me most of all was that, in paying homage to the original series (from the multiple entry doors to the “CONTROL Museum” to the old catch-phrases to Bernie Koppel’s cameo), they managed to mangle every one. Or, to put it in terms that Don Adams would understand:
“Missed it by THAT much!”
Again, it was the best of a bad lot that hit the screens this week, and everything else out there we’d seen, or didn’t wish to see. Personally, I would have stayed home, but the movie gang overruled.
I thought it was funny, did tribute to the series, and well done. I recommend it.
At least Agent 99 is hotter. that’s about the only thing I can say for this film.
