Get Smart **

This attempt to revive a beloved TV show character from the 60's, long before the target audience for the movie was born, has few funny moments, all of which you've seen in the previews. In a Post- Cold War world, the deadly, if bumbling, conflict between the agents of KAOS and CONTROL loses its bite. The cast is A-list, but the material is uneven. Wait for the rental if you're interested.

Rated PG-13. 110 minutes. Peter Segal - Director, Tom J. Astle - Writer, Matt Ember - Writer, Mel Brooks - Writer (characters), Buck Henry - Writer (characters), Michael Ewing - Producer, Alex Gartner - Producer, Andrew Lazar - Producer, Charles Roven - Producer, Dean Semler - Cinematographer, Trevor Rabin - Composer, Wynn Thomas - Production Designer, Richard Pearson - Editor. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Principal actors: Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson, Alan Arkin, Terence Stamp.
