Get Smart Credit: Warner Brothers Home Entertainment

Soon it's that time again...time to re-gift Uncle Ned's butt-ugly sweater and break out the egg nog. We're in a tight economy but a DVD makes a nice, not overly-expensive gift for holiday giving and at home enjoying. We checked out a wide variety of DVDs out now or out soon. In Part One of our report, scope out our take on everything from action/fantasy to adorable animation and spy or action comedies....

Get Smart: Two-Disc Special Edition

Based on the popular 1960's TV show, Get Smart centers on Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) who gets tired of his desk job as an analyst for government agency CONTROL and opts for a job in the field. Max wants to be like super agent 23 (Dwayne, the Rock Johnson) and gets his chance when an attack on HQ leaves Max one of the only agents still standing. Paired with hot agent 99 (Anne Hathaway), Max fights evil agency KAOS to bust.. what else? A world-dominating plot!

Special Features: On disc one, we have "Smart Takes", containing alternate or deleted scenes with an intro by Steve Carell telling you to hit enter when you see an icon. You have to watch these scenes during the movie as far as I could tell or you can try the Title menu. These are entertaining and funny but all are really short and run about 25 minutes all together.
