Judging by the cast this is shaping up to be one of the best TV to movie adaptions ever done. Carell is PERFECT for the role, and the news of him reuniting with Arkin only helps to make this one of my most anticipated films.
I agree! This cast sounds like the right fit and mix to pull off the level of camp and humor of the original show. I hope the movie script does the TV show justice because it will be a funny movie.
