It's a failed comedy

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

Get Smart was an adaptation of the famous 1960s TV show which was a spoof of the spy genre. The U.S. government’s secret CONTROL organization was attacked by CHAOS and most of its agents were wiped out. That forced it to use its remaining agents to try to save the world. That included employing Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) who was an analyst who had never gone out in the field and Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). Just like the TV show Smart is the bumbling idiot while 99 is the seasoned veteran. They form the classic odd couple for the story.

The problem with the film is that the laughs are few and far apart. The writers just failed at making this a comedy. I mean they tried, but they just couldn’t pull it off.

A Funnier, 21st Century Maxwell Smart??

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2017

Well, that's up to you to decide for yourself, but as a fan of the original series starring Don Adams and Barbara Feldon, this movie was a lot better than I expected.

Obviously the series in the 60's is a classic, and probably many fans would think what I am saying is sacrilege, but Steve Carell is a comic genius in his own right, and although he has a different take on the Agent 86 character than Adams did so perfectly back in the day, Carell is hilariously funny in this film, and his supporting cast of Anne Hathaway (Agent 99) and a new character The Rock (Agent 23), are great comic foils, as well as funny in different ways as well.

This film holds to the campy humor of the original series as well, but what I like about the new "Get Smart" movie is the fact that a lot of the humor expands the boundaries of the original, and there are also some dramatic moments as well, for example, when Agent 86 has to deal with the disappointment of again being denied that sought-after promotion to field agent, he so badly wanted.

Lot of twists and turns, great action sequences, and a well-written script. Again, if you are a diehard fan of the 60's series, you will not be seeing a duplicate of that here, but then again, this is new century, so that is to be expected.

I'm actually surprised there was never a sequel to this movie, but that has more to do with the box office than anything else I'm sure.

Great way to spend a couple hours, if you want to just relax, laugh, and munch on some popcorn.

Gotta love the shoe phone!

Love the shoe phone! For whatever reason, this item didn't go over well commercially, and lately it's been fairly cheap ($6-8) from third party sellers. I sent three to relatives as a "hey, let's keep in touch" gift, and they loved the it. Another relative begged me to send one! And if you loved the original Get Smart, you'll probably love the movie. It starts with Max as an analyst, explains his improbable move to agent, and does a fairly faithful job paying homage to many of the TV show's original themes and tropes. While Max and 99 are the main characters, it is truly an ensemble effort, so there really aren't any thin spots from character myopia. I don't know if it was scripted or improvised, but watch for the best line: "Thanks for jumping."

All Around Handy 'Man'

One of the few funny remakes

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

I am not one for remakes. I think Hollywood has run out of ideas or they just are lazy. But this movie is really funny. I love Steve. He just has that loveable funny charm about him. I completely get his humor. Steven and Ann have really great chemistry and each brings a balance to each other they rely on. Great supporting cast. I did not like the twist with the Rock. It made no sense for him *SPOILER* to be working for the bad 'guys/girls.' This is a family fun movie that avoids sex, drugs, and bad language typically found in Hollywood. Not sure why anyone finds that funny. Two thumbs up!

A great job by the stars, a few big laughs and a smile throughout in a film that pays a nice homage to the original.

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2016

As a fan of the original Get Smart series with Don Adams and Barbara Feldon, I think it could've been even less funny and I'm would have still enjoyed it. I love the humor and the tone of the originals and this movie tries to stay with both, at least as much as you would expect from a mainstream movie that's trying to also be enjoyable for people who have never seen the original series. The opening sequence is there as well as the closing. There is also some good stunt work that is done in a skydiving scene and in a car chase scene, among other places. For fans of the original, you will really enjoy this, probably wishing for more references but be satisfied with what they did. If you have never seen the original (like my wife), this is a great way to Get Smart to what the original series was all about with two great stars of the Big Screen. A very good job, as you would expect from Steve Carell and a great job by Anne Hathaway, whom I think is in even better shape than she normally is for this movie, doing a few little stunts that make you say "wow go Anne!" The only caveat is I believe the Amazon rental version is not the exact same as the theatrical version, having seen both there was a part or two I remember from the theaters that was not in this version, but not enough to take away from the movie or be a big issue. After we watch the movie they were links to IMDb data on goofs, trivia, etc. which was nice to read right after watching the movie. Also, at the end of the credits it said For Don Adams and another star. While it would've been even greater to see that at the very beginning of the credits it was a nice touch. A big thank you to Mel Brooks Buck Henry, Don Adams and the rest of the original think tanks and brilliance that made it such a great show, the current writers and stars and for God putting them here when he did. Get Smart and God Bless! :)

Anne Hathaway at her best and before she had her hair cut short

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

I've watched this film many times and found it funny every time. It's also Anne Hathaway at her best and before she had her hair cut short. The story itself isn't bad and even if you're not a Steve Carell fan, and I'm not, it delivers. Arguably Dwayne Johnson's first real film, because he wasn't playing himself or anything to do with wrestling and very good he is as well.
