Tonight, I went to the movies by myself. I've gotten it down to a science now. I leave early enough so that I have time to stop by the gas station on the way to purchase a cheap Coke and Junior Mints. Then I sit in the parking lot of the theatre taking my time smoking a cigarette and getting myself all excited about the feature film of the evening. Tonight, it was Get Smart.
When I was a kid, Get Smart reruns from the 70's came on Nick and Nite at 9pm. My bedtime in the fifth grade was 9pm, but my mom used to let me stay up til 9:30 on Tuesdays, when Get Smart came on. I was obsessed with that show, I think it was the shoe phone and the series of doors during the opening sequence. Anyway, when I heard about the movie coming out this summer, I Got So Excited!
The film was excellent. A fine mixture of comedy and action. Anne Hathaway is HOT! in this film and Steve Carell was a perfect Maxwell Smart. Also, there's an ironic puppy appearance at the end of the film which forced a fine existential experience for the drive home. Go and see it, everybody! You won't be mad about spending the gas money or paying for the ticket.
