More DVD madness

The latest delivery from Netflix is "Bruce and Lloyd" out of control, a direct-to-DVD spinoff of the "Get Smart" movie. This is an innovative approach to have a spinoff be released only a couple of weeks after the film hits theaters. This film is about the two guys who create gadgets for the agents. This movie used a lot of the same sets as its big-budget counterpart, and there were appearances by some cast members (including a very forced cameo by Anne Hathaway), but this film, which only clocks in at an hour and change, otherwise had the tone and budget of a TV movie. 

Overall, very mediocre and forgettable. It had some funny jokes, some of which were funnier than those in the Get Smart movie, but overall was merely disposable entertainment. Worth watching only if you really have nothing better to rent and nothing else to do.
