Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Tweekums Max Smart is an analyst for the US spy agency CONTROL. He yearns to become a field agent and after eight years has finally passed the test but has to face disappointment when told that he is too good an analyst to be made an agent. The situation soon changes when agents from Kaos, a foreign agency, attack and steal details of all active agents. That leaves just two people to go into the field and foil their plot; Smart and 'Agent 99', an agent whose details haven't been updated since her plastic surgery. Evidence suggests that agents of Kaos, under the leadership of 'Siegfried', have stolen a quantity of Uranium so Max and Agent 99 are sent to Russia to investigate. It won't be easy though; there is a mole in CONTROL and KAOS has some particularly tough agents.When I picked this up I was expecting something similar to 'Johnny English' with a fairly incompetent protagonist who ultimately prevails in spite of his stupidity. Actually it is quite different, there are some slapstick moments but for the most part he is skilled if somewhat naïve. The central story is solid and not inherently silly. There is a fine mix of comedy and action with neither being sacrificed at the expense of the other. Max Smart is a solid and likable protagonist, Steve Carell does an impressive job in the role. He is ably supported by Anne Hathaway, who is a lot of fun as Anent 99; Alan Arkin, who plays his short tempered boss and Dwayne Johnson, who plays 'super-agent' 23. Terence Stamp makes a good villain and Dalip Singh is a lot of fun as a henchman who is clearly inspired by Jaws from the James Bond films. The action scenes are exciting and wouldn't be out of place in a non-comedy action film aimed at the same demographic. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the secret agent genre who want a good laugh; it is suitable for anybody old enough to enjoy Roger Moore era Bond films; which in many ways in resembles.

Davis P This movie version of the old television show is amusing most of the time. There are a few moments where the comedy just doesn't work that well, either because it's too obvious or just because we've seen it done so many times before. But luckily those times aren't the vast majority. The majority of the comedy is pretty funny and I credit that to Steve Carrel. Anne Hathaway is good in her role here and she's a great talented actress but being funny in a movie just isn't her forte. But she is a good partner for Carrel and is charming, fitting for the role. Dwayne the rock Johnson is here too, he plays the perfect fellow agent who everybody adores. He was the PERFECT choice to play this self absorbed, arrogant lady killer. The script is cute and entertaining, has its funny moments and it's not so funny moments, typical of just about any comedy. The comical action is fun to watch and enjoy. The movie overall is a pretty good movie adaptation of the classic 1960s television show. It's not the greatest in the world but it's not poorly done either. I suggest it for someone looking for an average comedy and a fairly good time. Even though yes there are better comedic choices out there.

atlasmb Having seen the original series when younger, I was doubtful about the prospects for a film adaptation of "Get Smart". But the film stars the perfect actor for the Maxwell Smart (Agent 86) role--Steve Carrell. And the writers were smart to diverge from the total goofiness that was Don Adams's main character trait. Instead, Max in the film is clueless but lovable and slightly more intelligent.Anne Hathaway is great as agent 99, a perfect blend of beauty, physicality and comic timing. The energy between agents 86 and 99 feels believable.This is a comedy with real laughs. A nice blend of physical humor, one liners, and clever punchlines keeps it fun.Some nice cameos, good production values and special effects make the film a joy to watch, with strong stunt work and credible props that make the film more than a lampoon. It's a spy story with a strong comic sense. I was pleasantly surprised. Though familiarity with the series might add depth to the viewer's experience, it is not needed for enjoyment of this film.
