Get Smart (2008)

I'm not sure why half of the critics thinks this movie is bad. It's absolutely not. Yes, it has a simple plot but, given the problems of movies with more complicated plots, it seems admirable that a simple plot can be entertaining and sustain the length. The acting is fun and well done. The film even acknowledges the absurdity of having Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway as age-mismatched love interests. It makes fun of itself while having fun.

The only small complaint I have is two instance of continuity screw-ups with Hathaway's shoes. But that's it. It's a wonderful movie.
