writers needed to get smarter

Bruce and Lloyd were very funny as supporting characters in this summer's "Get Smart" movie, and when I saw there was a Bruce and Lloyd DVD available, I snapped it up. What a waste of money. The movie has a couple of chuckles, but it was nowhere near as funny as "Get Smart." Don't waste your time watching this--Lloyd and Bruce are funnier in "Get Smart."
Enjoyable

Nice little show. I'm glad I didn't pay the $19.95 at the stores earlier.
It's Not Too Bad!!!

Even though Maxwell Smart is NOT in it, Bruce and Lloyd made it pretty funny. There are about three surprise cameos from Get Smart. This movie takes place the same time as GET SMART does. Someone has taken an invisibility cloak from Control, and it's up to Bruce and Lloyd to get it back before KAOS gets it! I was glad that they played the 'Get Smart' theme song a couple of times, because I thought since Max wasn't in it, they wouldn't play it! If you are a hard-core Get Smart fan, you might like GET SMART'S BRUCE AND LLOYD: OUT OF CONTROL!!!
p.s. I want to see a 'real' GET SMART 2!!!

Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):
1. Bruce (Masi Oka) and Lloyd (Nate Torrence) are gadget geeks working for the secret spy agency CONTROL
2. They develop an invisibility cloak
3. It gets stolen
4. They have to get it back
This is a simultaneous spin-off to the movie "Get Smart", allegedly taking part during the time frame of the movie. About five other movie characters appear in this very short (71 minutes) parody, some only as brief cameos.
It's not great cinema, but it manages to raise a few chuckles without resorting to potty humor, foul language, tired sight gags or gross-out scenes.
Exactly what you thought it'd be
For something straight to DVD
It has no wisdom to impart
And won't push viewers to "Get Smart"

Unlike the first reviewer, I was raised on old school Get Smart! and bought
this Dvd of Bruce and Lloyd as an appetizer to the film release of Get Smart!. It was good especially since it came with a money voucher at not cost to me to see the film. It wasn't a movie but you could call it a pilot
for a possible series. An idea that might fly since the two main actors,
Masi Oka and Nate Torrence would be good as a team. If Heroes doesn't pan out for
Masi Oka, he has got another possiblity and I am sure Mr. Torrence wouldn't mind steady work.
