If you attend the latest exploitation of baby boomer TV nostalgia, “Get Smart,” don’t worry. You’ll stay smart — well, smart enough — because this big-screen adaptation of the 1960s series isn’t nearly as dumb as such predecessor bombs of similar origins as “The Flintstones,” “Bewitched,” “Lost in Space” and last month’s “Speed Racer.”

It’s not much of an endorsement to say that today’s spy-world action-comedy isn’t that bad. But expectations were very low given the potential for cheap gags from the slapstick element of the otherwise wry source television show and given headliner Steve Carell’s sophomoric tendencies as a leading man in previous feature film farces. (Remember “Evan Almighty”? Or, rather, don’t.)
