The 2008 rendition of the ‘60s TV spy series, "Get Smart", gained the first box office spot on its opening day. According to the estimates released by BoxOfficeMojo, the movie earned $13,500,000 in ticket sales from 3,911 theaters.

In “Get Smart”, “The Office’s” star Steve Carell embodies the protagonist, Maxwell Smart, an analyst for the US intelligence agency CONTROL. Like his homologue played by Don Adams, Smart craves more or less secretly to leave his indoor work and go outside, shoot the enemies and save the world. But the chances for his wish to come true are scarce, as he is very efficient at his analyzing job. His idol is macho Agent 23, played by Dwayne Johnson.

The espionage agency’s nemesis, KAOS, succeeded with an evil plan and uncovered CONTROL’s secret mission and missionaries. Given that KAOS got its dirty hands on some nuclear weaponry, CONTROL has to go out there and save the world, therefore Smart is given the guns, an undercover name, and a colleague, beautiful Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). They are helped by Agent 23, whose spy skills are too good to be left out of the operation, but who has been too ‘uncovered’ to continue working undercover.

The movie falls into the action-comedy genre and the first similar movie that comes to mind could be 2002’s "I Spy" with Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson

The 2008 cinema version seems to be funny enough to be worth seeing, but it certainly lacks the charm of the old series, and it fails to recreate its atmosphere.

The last weekend champion, “The Incredible Hulk” earned the second spot in Friday Top 10, with $6,455,000.

The 2008 ‘Hulk’ suffered some re-thinking and returned totally re-branded: new director, new cast, new green. “The Transporter’s” Louis Leterrier took over Ang Lee’s directorial chair, Edward Norton took the responsibility of the protagonist, replacing Eric Bana and Hulk’s love interest, geeky scientist Betty Ross is now played by Liv Tyler, instead of Jennifer Connelly.

“The Incredible Hulk” was closely followed by “Kung Fu Panda”, which earned $6,350,000 on Friday.

“The Love Guru”, the latest effort of Mike Myers, opened on a disappointing fourth place, $5,425,000 and it seems like the movie will be a box office failure.

What can be said in the first place about Mike Myers’ latest production, “The Love Guru,” is that it creates a vicious circle. The movie is so rich in less-evolved sophomoric humor, containing plenty of bathroom humor that it could only be suitable for the mind and taste of 10-year boys. On the other hand, Myers’ appetite for penis jokes granted the movie a PG-13 rating that stands great chances of hindering the 10-year boys from watching it. Hence the vicious circle.

“The Happening”, the latest movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan, gained $3,300,000 and the fifth spot on Friday.
