Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control

Under discussion:

Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control (2008) is a spin off of the top quality Get Smart movie. In Get Smart, Bruce and Lloyd, the techno geeks, were hilarious. But in their own film they are never as funny. This is partly because Out of Control feels like a spin-off—there are in-references to the parent movie, and the plot is not strong enough to create a compelling story. Also, Bruce and Lloyd are funnier in small doses because their humour is undercutting and slight. Their antics are funny when contrasted with the serious buffoonery of Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, but when they have to sustain an entire movie, they come off sounding, well, slight. I like the guys, and the movie is more innocuous than bad, but not one I can recommend to anyone but die-hard Lloyd and Bruce fans (or is that Bruce and Lloyd?).
