Did you see Dan in Real Life? Or Little Miss Sunshine? 'Cause I think his performances in both of those kinda prove you wrong on that point.

Ok, you might not like the guy, but why would you compare him to David Spade!?

You know, I haven't seen those, so I guess it's possible he is just in the same kind of role a lot. Still, his Office charecter is remarkably similar to how he acts in a lot of other media, not to mention interviews.

As far as the David Spade thing... well, I mean, there's 'typecasting' and then there's recreating the same damn movie. Although, I think he is capable of a bit more variety than he shows typically. (I'm thinking of 'Joe Dirt', which is a far cry from the perverted, scheming ninny he plays in Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, Just Shoot Me, and some others I can't remember at the moment).

I enjoyed the Get Smart movie quite a bit. I hadn't seen the show in years (it used to be on in re-runs when I was a kid), so a lot of specific references went over my head, but it was a lot of fun. The references I got (the Cone of Silence, the doors, the shoe phone), I enjoyed quite a bit. Especially the Cone of Silene. I think Steve Carrell did a good job as Maxwell Smart, and can't really think of an actor that would have been better in the role.

Because The Office is goddamn terrible.

There, I said it.

True, but he was pretty great on The Daily Show.

I would not say he was in the best sitcom ever. But I would say he is in a movie based on the best sitcom ever

Steve Carell was on the Daily Show?

Yes

The Movie RULED i love the portable cone of silence refrence and The shoe phone but most of all i loved the entire thing...GOOD Get smart was great

Wait a minute... Steve Carell wasn't in Arrested Development! You're a liar!

And seriously, Joshel, being young is no damn excuse for not knowing about the Get Smart TV series.
