J.R. Jones at the Chicago Reader reviewed Get Smart last week by comparing it (unfavorably) to a French film, OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies. The French film sounded interesting and so when our friend P. Brennan said he wanted to see it, we leapt at the chance.
I'm so glad we did!
OSS 117 is a spot-on parody of 1960s spy movies and comedian Jean Dujardin is perfect as the handsome and slightly-dim action hero. It's hilarious from start to finish.
