Get Smart
Maxwell Smart is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23. Smart is partnered instead with the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99. Given little field experience and even less time, Smart-armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm-must thwart the doomsday plans of KAOS head Siegfried.

Get Smart is Superb???Heh?!!!
I cannot believe a reviewer described this film as superb! Obviously this person is easily pleased!! This movie was a time filler, and nothing else. Anne Hathaway looked stunning at the ball but her main man didn't cut the mustard! He just seems to be too old to be acting silly as he does. I confess I do not always find him funny. There are some funny scenes but they are not what I would call laugh out loud funny. This is a good kiddies flick, but personally I was bored throughout and could't wait for it to finish .

disappointing!
I expected much more...indeed, I expected a funny comedy and I only got a nostalgic reference of the old Get Smart series. The lead actor is well cast (Steve Carell as agent 86) and he does what he can with a very unenlightened script. The lead actress is also a good one (Anne Hathaway as agent 99) but she doesn't fit the character, she is anodyne and nothing to do with the wonderful Barbara Feldon of the original series. In fact, Carell deserves another opportunity as Maxwell Smart and a new companion too.
In general, this is a bad remake with a poor and unfunny script, the lack of care in the production is clear throughout the movie . Especially at the end, it's outrageous that the final scene of the movie takes place in a concert hall where there is a performance of the Symphony No- 40 of Mozart... with A PIANO!!! (symphonies don't have pianos).
My advice is simple: please don't waste you time and money, instead wait for the digitally renewed DVD of the original series... they still have many more laughs than this movie! -
