"Get Smart" (Warner, $28.98) — ** — This mostly comic espionage thriller, based on the popular television series, is a little too heavy on big, loud, dumb action. Steve Carell stars.

Special features: Two-disc "special edition" ($34.98) includes deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes minifeatures, gag reels and preview of "Get Smart's Bruce & Lloyd: Out of Control."

PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, profanity, drugs, slurs, brief partial nudity)

"Henry Poole Is Here" (Anchor Bay, $29.98) — ** 1/2 — A low-key film that tries to say something substantive, instead of just going for the cheapest joke possible. Luke Wilson stars.

PG (profanity, slurs, violence, brief drugs)

"The Perfect Holiday" (Sony, $27.96) — ** — About what you'd expect from a holiday comedy daring to put "perfect" in its title. As in anything but. Morris Chestnut and Gabrielle Union star.

PG (profanity, vulgarity) —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

"Transsiberian" (First Look, $28.98) — *** —This independently produced suspense-thriller, starring Woody Harrelson and Emily Mortimer, has more twists and turns than the real-life train route.

R (violence, profanity, gore, torture, drugs, brief sex, vulgarity)
