Maybe it depends on your mood, but I'm sad to say that I tend to agree:

Steve Carell can't get out of a phone booth! Stop it! My sides! Your killin' me here!

TWO LAUGHS. That's all I got. Other times I was trying not to groan out loud.
I was sick of TV-to-movie remakes long ago.

I played a Don Adams clip after watching this trailer and really saw just how dead this movie is going to be. My advice: Stick with Adams, Feldman, Koppel and the great tv show. Skip this bore of a movie.

Ass/u/me and you make an ass out of u and me. I actually couldn't watch the YouTube link at Ross's site at work through the firewall, so I assumed it was the movie trailer at the website.

Now I've seen both, I'm not sure which is lamer! They both have that "element of surpr - ahh" bit that's the only thing remotely funny.

By the way, the "bead curtain" gag was from the show. At least they didn't do a DIRECT copy of it.
There is ONE improvement from the TV show; "99" appiers to have a REAL pistol! Barbara Feldman almost always had an ORANGE revolver that looked so darn FAKE!
