"Get Smart" - The Movie

I expected the comedic parody of the original TV series, a spoof of the cold-war spy.  Unfortunately, the producers of this movie probably thought they couldn't top the Austin Powers set of film classics.  Very unfortunate.  So we got an actual over-the-top, filled with special effects, explosions and car chases, wannabe blockbuster interspersed with some cheesy physical comedy (see the original Pink Panther movies for a much better example) and a few classic lines for the TV series thrown in randomly. 

It could have been so much better.  Why is so difficult for Hollywood to make a funny, intelligent comedy?
