Get Smart isn't smart. It is mildly intelligent. In the middle of the summer desert its a cool drink of water. It isn't icy cold; it doesn't have a slice of lemon; it doesn't have large chunks of ice floating in it; and it certainly isn't a frosty Mountain Dew. Get Smart is refreshing but not thirst quenching. It takes its action-spy sequences way too seriously and its comedy not nearly serious enough. The jokes were funny but not hilarious. It was a good movie, but not a great movie. It was a quick respite for the summer heat as we wait for the big oasis that we hope is coming. If you've seen all the others and you have an afternoon free Get Smart is worth the price of a matinee.
