I saw Get Smart over the weekend and it was pretty funny. And it wasn't just Steve Carell that made it funny. But I just saw an ad on TV for this apparent, straight-to-DVD release called "Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd out of Control" and I did a double take. Bruce and Lloyd are two characters played by Masi Oka (
Heroes) and Nate Torrence (
Studio 60) that have a somewhat substantial amount of screen time in Get Smart, but aren't really major characters.
I've come to understand that studios will do anything and everything to milk a blockbuster for all it's worth, but who on earth is spending $20 on a 70-minute DVD of some minor characters? The full actor list on Amazon is: Larry Miller, Patrick Warburton, Masi Oka, Jayma Mays, Nate Torrence. And I definitely can't imagine someone plopping down $25 for the
Blu-Ray version.
