Get Smart Rocks
posted on 28 Aug 2009When I first saw the trailer for Get Smart I thought to myself it is going to be good because Steve Carell is in it. One day I was watching TV and i watched an episode of Get Smart and loved it.When i saw the movie it kind of disappointed me because there was more action than comedy but the comedy later on in the movie made up for the lack of comedy in the beginning. Everybody involved was a great actor there is even a surprise appearance by Bill Murray as Agent 13 the one who is always stuck in disguises. But the scene that definitely steals the whole movie is when Steve Carell kisses Agent 23 to escape being strangled to death. If i could give this movie my own score it would 10 out of 10 for the performances and 8 out of 10 for the comedy.
Not as good as the original series
posted on 28 Aug 2009Steve Carell's (he is an executive producer) movie version of Get Smart is a good DVD for a night in. It is funny but there are very few belly laughs in it. The cast are all good but the script doesn't really give them a chance to shine. Carell doesn't opt to even try a Don Adams impression and Smart isn't half as incompetent and dimwitted as the original. In fact he is Control's best analyst and that's the only reason he is not a field operative. However after the Control HQ is attacked by KAOS he joins up with Agent 99 to track down the culprits. That's about all you need to know about the plot. There are a few funny moments but think an opportunity was lost to make a really funny movie with a good cast. I think the film lacks the anarchic touch of Mel Brooks and Buck Henry that made the original series such a treat.
not for non-fans of the TV series
posted on 26 Aug 2009Wow I can't believe the comments I've read so far. Ratings are either ten or one? I've just finished the movie and my guess is that the ones rating this movie "10" are die-hard "get smart the TV show" fans and the "1" raters are trying to pull the ratings way down.In truth, this is one mediocre comedy that probably does not deserve a "7" rating as it stands (the reason I watched it). There are so many unfunny jokes, so little originality. I barely watched the 60' show so I don't recognize too many related jokes and I have a feeling the writer might have relied too much on the TV-show clichés to win over crowd. Is it effective? Not if the crowd consists mainly of none-fans of the 60's TV show.If you've barely watched the TV-show, expect this movie to provide occasional chuckle, some good action and long period of lameness.Rating 5/10
Gotta love that Steve Carell
posted on 24 Aug 2009Why do critics just anger me so much? They have NO CLUE what they are talking about. What are they expecting from this film? Oscar worthy material? If any non critic thinks this movie is the "worst film of the year", they have no sense of humor. To put it simple, Get Smart is slick, idiotic, priceless, and obviously hilarious. There's a laugh in every scene, meant for everyone from the kids to the adults. This is a good film for the whole family. I enjoyed every second of it, even if it does drag a bit. The performance of Steve Carell, not to mention the chemistry between Carell and Anne Hathaway, makes this movie a wonderful comedy and a faithful translation from the small screen to the big screen.Let's start with the good. Steve Carell. Well, the guy is truly one of the top comedic talents working today, and Get Smart only furthers that truth. He injects his own brand of humor into the classic Maxwell Smart without forgetting about Don Adams legendary take on the character. It's brilliant. You'll love him throughout the whole movie. Anne Hathaway...man, this lady just knows what everyone likes. There's not a bad thing about her. She's quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses. This is definitely her sexiest role, and there's many moments where the young men will be gazing at her. Dwayne Johnson puts on some slick and funny moments, but it's getting repetitive. I need that breakout performance from him...he's becoming like Vince Vaughn...same character, different movie. Alan Arkin is nothing but a bonus, and Terrence Stamp makes a good villain. There's also a few good cameos. Wait for the man in the tree.I love the diversity in the jokes. There's typical Carell style humor, then slapstick, clever, physical, and of course, sexual comedy as well. The action is also top notch, and it rivals a lot of the supposedly "good" action films out there right now. I enjoyed it a lot.The bad...well there's not a lot. The first would be the inclusion of WWE wrestler Great Khali. He's REALLY out of place, and despite a few funny moments, I felt he detracted from the film. I also was not a fan of the random characters that popped in and out. Though I know they were going for the James Bond feel, which has a lot of bit parts, it doesn't work here. But for me to say anything else would be nitpicking at details to fill up space.All in all, Get Smart is stylish, slick, and hilarious. Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway make a great team, and a great movie that everyone can enjoy. It's a great exercise in all kinds of great humor that the audience will love. You know what else we'd love? A sequel. Get on it, Warner Bros.
Go See It!
posted on 22 Aug 2009Some of the reviews for "Get Smart" were tepid. There were several that used the old "missed it by that much" tag-line from the original TV series to characterize this version. Ignore them. This film brings the beloved series fully up to date, retaining the spirit and, frequently, familiar pieces of dialog from the original. Steve Carrell looks very much like Don Adams and, while he's not the stand up comedian that Adams was, he does his job with great style. Anne Hathaway makes a beautiful and convincing Agent 99, and Alan Arkin is a superb choice as the Chief. Dwayne Johnson, a new character, the highly professional Agent 23, ultimately a central character in the plot, is excellent, and Terence Stamp is a splendid villain. I don't know the name of the man they got to stand in as the director of the Los Angeles Symphony but he appears as if he's ready to drop dead at any moment as he conducts Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. Nor do I know the name of the giant of a man who acts as a guard for Kaos but he too is marvelous. I won't give any of the story away; it is tightly plotted. But the strengths of "Get Smart" are the humor and the style, and both are intact, including the crazy gadgets which Maxwell Smart gets from Control's two techies. Even the old phone booth, the fall-through entry into HQ, is briefly on display. The critics had conditioned me to be disappointed but I wasn't. I loved every moment of it. Mel Brooks and Buck Henry the brains behind the original, are credited as consultants and whether or not they played any significant role, I am sure they must have been satisfied with the results. Peter Segal as the director and the two writers deserve immense credit for realizing this great TV series in a different era.
Good old-fashioned comedy is back!
posted on 22 Aug 2009What a remarkable movie this was! I couldn't stop Laughing from beginning to end. Probably The best role Steve has had for years. I'm glad to say this movie was worth my money and I can't wait for it's DVD release. With the best choice of actors I've seen yet and the nonstop humour throughout, this movie was a success. I'm sure Don Adams would have loved this movie, and I'm very sad he couldn't see it himself. I'd love to hear what Mel Brooks would have said about it. I still watch the classic show and can't believe how both match up. Just like the sixties the comedy is all the same and still funny! I hope you all enjoy this movie as much as I did.
Get Smart short on laughs
posted on 20 Aug 2009This 'cute' action comedy will supply a few chuckles, most of them forced out of sympathy for the solid cast and viable storyline.Prime to be discarded from memory after viewing, and until the ill-conceived sequel.Half of the jokes fall flat, and the other half are not good enough to make up for it. Steve Carrel doesn't fit into the 'lovable idiot' role he plays here, as he does the 'lovable clueless jerk' role he plays in The Office and Evan Almighty. Anne Hathaway fares better in the usual thankless female role. In fact, as the 'straight man' in a movie filled with tired jokes, she almost shines. The Rock does well with the role he has, and so do the rest of the actors, not including Masi Oka and his sidekick as two annoying geeks.Sadly, the movie doesn't work.
Excellent Movie
posted on 20 Aug 2009"Get Smart" was an excellent film. I had the pleasure of witnessing it only a few weeks ago, and I think it truly was worth my ten dollars.Get Smart starred Steve Carrel and Anne Hathaway. They fit the parts of Agent 86 and Agent 99 perfectly. This movie was mixed with action AND comedy at the same time- not something you see a lot in movie theaters anymore.Get Smart was about Agent 86(Carrel) and Agent 99(Hathaway), who team up together to battle the forces of K A O S. They make an unlikely pair- the competent Agent 86 and clueless Maxwell Smart.Dwayne Johnson and Alan Ark in co star as Agent 23 and The Chief. It also features Terence Stamp, from the original 1965 version, as Siegfried.I recommend you to see this movie- it was excellent!
Good adaptation
posted on 20 Aug 2009I was never a fan of Get Smart and this is what really kept me a little reluctant to see the film, yes I watched several episodes of the series but never actually existed a connection between it and I, but Steve Carell and all the beauty of Anne Hathaway convinced me to come to see the film, and I must say that I enjoyed the result and laugh as long ago I happened with a movie.It isn't the best film of the genre but you can note that the advisory in the script by Mel Brooks was enough to make an interesting and mostly healthy comedy, away from a thousand times movie made about jokes related to sex, and I don't say that because they bother me I say this because most films that use them are lost in "how to make the scene more bizarre and fun" rather than make a story more interesting.Having said that I can summarize that I liked Get Smart, it made me laugh healthily, Carell achieves a performance and convincing tribute as Maxwell, but definitely the most comedians are Alan Arkin and James Caan, I'm grateful for the brief appearance of Murray, Anne is beautiful as always, and even "The Rock" makes me laugh. It has too a good editing that makes the whole film agile and in short all the elements combine to make a good movie summer (much better than Speed Racer) and entertain as the pure Hollywood style.
Missed it by that much!
posted on 14 Aug 2009I was a huge fan of the TV series from the 60's that starred Don Adams and Barbara Feldon in the lead roles. The comedy worked great as a 30-minute sitcom. I must say that I wasn't disappointed in this feature length version. All the usual antics are displayed in humorous tribute here with Max walking down Control's corridor of opening and closing doors to the snappy one-liners that made Agent 86 such a card. Steve Carrell reprises the famed role of Agent 86 (Maxwell Smart) along with Anne Hathaway as Agent 99.I thought Carrell was adequate, but he seemed to lack the subtle mannerisms and expressions that Don Adams had. I must admit that my expectations were to see a Don Adams clone, but maybe that's unfair. Anne Hathaway is great and I thought the Rock was terrific as the cocky Agent 23. Alan Arkin steps in as the Chief and has a couple of good moments.I think this was worth my $7.25 matinée fee. This should be a fun comedy for fans that remember the TV series and for others who are unfamiliar with it.Be sure to catch the robot character 'Hymie' in the end. You know there will have to be a sequel to this.
Get Smart
posted on 14 Aug 2009Get SmartGet Smart is a 2008 summer comedy. It made 38 million in its first weekend and is on track to break 100 million at the box office. After Evan Almighty, pressure was on Steve Carrell to deliver a good movie. So, did he make a comedy worthy of your money, or is this another flop like Evan Almighty?Maxwell Smart(Carell) is an analyst for the spy group CONTROL. After pressure is put on CONTROL to put down the evil organization known as KAOS, Maxwell is promoted to the rank of agent. His partner is Agent 99(Hathaway) a much better and experienced agent. The two agents must sort out their differences and bring down KAOS until it's too late. Get Smart has mediocre character development. Maxwell is a decent lead character, as we know some about his background and personality. Agent 99 is also a decent romantic interest, as she avoids being the perfect girl. The supporting characters are where the movie goes wrong. Siegfried(Stamp) is nothing more than a bad guy that's all evil and has no redeemable qualities. The other bad guys are equally underdeveloped, with the exception of the big guy. The Chief(Arkin) has OK development, and the rest of the agents are underdeveloped. Get Smart provides laughs, but the story is actually quite terrible. We have our one dimensional bad guys who want to blow up the world, and that's as far as the plot goes. The journey of Smart and Agent 99 has a lot of laughs, especially in one scene where Smart tries to use a mini harpoon gun, and keeps hitting himself. Other funny scenes include a dance off and the journey through a sewer. Get Smart has a terrible ending. It seems way too easily resolved, and everything ends up too perfect. There was one good laugh in it, but that was it for the ending. Get Smart has bad settings. There's nothing special about them. The headquarters for CONTROL aren't cool the least bit, and the headquarters for KOAS aren't the least bit menacing. The rest of the settings are just your average plane, sewer, building, etc. Get Smart has bad directing. He doesn't create any kind of atmosphere in the movie. We never get a feeling for the settings, since he doesn't use the right shots. The lighting is bland. The music in Get Smart is OK. It doesn't add anything to the movie, but it never screws up. The same goes for the sound editing. The acting in Get Smart is equal to the character development. Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway give good performances as the lead characters. They know quite a bit about comedic timing, and they have good chemistry together. There is a useless cameo by Bill Murray. All of the supporting actors give bad performances. Alan Arkin's performance during the ending is terrible. I almost thought that he wanted Maxwell to die because he should've evoked a sense of emergency, but sleep acts in his performance. Overall, Terence Stamp gave the worst performance as Siegfried. So, I still haven't seen a good Steve Carell movie after The 40 Year Old Virgin. Get Smart is better than Evan Almighty, but that isn't saying much. On an artistic level, Get Smart has only one good thing going for it which is the leads. Get Smart does have a decent amount of laughs though, so that does save it some. BAKED FRESH BOTTOM LINE 4/10Pros: Lead characters and actors Has a decent amount of good jokes.

Surprisingly hilarious movie with great supporting cast
posted on 12 Aug 2009I just got back from watching Get Smart, and I was pleasantly surprised with the movie. Anne Hathaway and Steve Carrell worked very well together, they complemented each other greatly and their on screen chemistry was an added bonus to the movie.I didn't know much about the original Get Smart TV show going into the movie, but I definitely loved Steve Carrell's portrayal of the character. His clumsiness in some respects, and professional manner in others really was hilarious to watch when it came together in different situations.Also, Agent 23 played by the Rock, the Chief played by Alan Arkin, and the supporting hit-man, CONTROL techs, and other agents were really great additions to the movie. Although, their characters weren't highly developed throughout the course of the movie, they provided great comic relief adding to the already hilarious situations that Max Smart and Agent 99 got themselves into.Overall, I really enjoyed this movie because it was much funnier than I expected, their was a good amount of action surprisingly, and the chemistry between Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway was great. The only drawback I had about the movie was that the story line was a bit confusing at first for their mission, but it becomes clearer as the movie progresses. Otherwise, this movie was a hilarious feel good comedy different from typical dry comedies, and very reminiscent of a clean comedy like M.A.S.H.
Wouldja believe... it was enjoyable?
posted on 10 Aug 2009Although not the funniest movie I've ever seen, I was pleasantly surprised. Then again, Steve Carell actually has screen presence, unlike the vast majority of TV-comedy movie-star wannabees (like from SNL), so he carries the movie with some good assists from his co-stars. They should have played the theme music just a tad more -- although I suspect they didn't want to overdo it.The plot was nothing compelling, but at least it was clear the movie was built around a plot -- again, more than you can say for a lot of these TV-to-movie knockoffs. The final chase (with the plane, SUV and train) was also unexpectedly different, and only suffered from less-than-convincing blue-screen work.Thumbs up.
Jaw droppingly bad!!!
posted on 10 Aug 2009This movie is in the same league as Ishtar. Lots of wasted talent. Who let this bomb escape? When Sigfried says an example has to be made, in reference to a nuclear bomb, I said "Please let it be this theatre!" Don't waste your time. Not even worth a free rental! And where did they get these shills to fill the comments section on IMDb? I can't believe that anyone who has ever seen the original series enjoyed this stinker. Steve Carell is not a physical comedian. If they removed the "comedy" and made it a straight action movie, it could pass. What the heck was the purpose of the dance scene? Also, the fat jokes and references were tasteless. This movie never missed a chance to go for the lowest common denominator and scenes just ended, it seemed, as if no one thought them through. Just awful! Save your time, if not money and give this movie a pass!
Get a Real Actor
posted on 06 Aug 2009I remember when this was first in production, however many years ago, and I saw that Jim Carrey was optioned to play Maxwell Smart. I immediately started looking forward to the film, and then I heard that Steve Carrell was now the lead actor. In my opinion, I can't stand him as an actor. Anchorman was hilarious, but how could it not be with Will Ferrell and the hilarious mind of Judd Apatow. Carrell is not suited to be a lead actor, or if he is, not in this film. I was hoping that the film would be a re-creation of the classic TV show, but it was far from it. I was looking for the shoe phone, the "Craw", Larrabee, and all the other classics that made that show so iconic. Although some old jokes make their way into the film, Carrell doesn't deliver them well, like Don Adams( although that is no easy task). He tried to put way too much of himself into the role, when it would have been much better if he tried to emulate Adams, although that would be impossible for someone of Carrell's talent. Also, considering much of the original staff of Get Smart is still living, why not collaborate with them, so the movie would actually be good. If you are a fan of Carrell's stupid, attempts to be blatantly funny, then you might enjoy this movie. But, if you were a fan of the original show, save your time and money, and purchase the Get Smart Box Set. At least Don Adams and Ed Platt knew what they were doing and did it fantastically.
It's enjoyable.
posted on 04 Aug 2009I was lucky to get a prescreening ticket and really enjoyed it. It was funny, had action and not boring, a lot like the TV series, but can do it on it's own.I would have liked to hear the great lines a few more times: "Would you believe", "Sorry about that", and "Missed it by that much". It was fun to see this movie and remember things from the TV series. Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway are a great pair where the chemistry holds them together. Alan Arkin played the Chrif perfectly, Dwayne Johnson was a convincing Agent 23 and Patrick Warburton was a nice surprise as Hymie.Go, sit back, enjoy and share some laughs.
i haven't laughed so hard and so often for a long time
posted on 02 Aug 2009after just having seen Get Smart,i have to say it exceeded my expectations.i thought it would be good,based on the trailer i saw.but it was better than good.Steve Carel steps into the role of Maxwell Smart(made famous by Don Adams)and instead of just mimicking Adams,puts his own stamp on the character,making it his own.Anne Hathaway portrays agent 99(which Barbera Feldon made famous)and is good,but her performance reminded me a lot of Feldon's version.i think it's the mannerisms.this is no criticism,though just an observation.Dwayne(don't call him The Rock)Johnson portrays a fellow agent,and is very credible.funny when the role calls for it,and serious when need be.Alan Arkin is a hoot as the chief of C.O.N.T.R.O.L.(i have no idea what the letters stand for)the agency that Max works for.and i can't forget Terrence Stamp,who is a riot as the main villain.as for the movie itself,its a seamless blend of action/adventure and comedy.well,mostly comedy.there are some very,very,funny moments here.and the action scenes are done pretty good.there is nothing new in the story,but so what.the comedic chemistry of Carel and Hathaway,and their performances(as well as that of Arkin,Johnson,and Stamp)are what matters here.for sheer entertainment value,i give Get Smart a 10/10

Smart will do whatever it takes to thwart the latest plot for world domination by KAOS..After the debacle that was Evan Almighty, carrell returns to form, in this funny, often laugh out loud comedy, that is based on a series that i have never had the pleasure to view.Carrell is the reason to watch this, his dead pan humour really fits his character well, and the chemistry between him and Hathaway is perfect if intentionally awkward.the supporting cast also have some of the biggest laughs too, especially Arkin as the chief, who has some great lines and some fabulous physical comedy.there are references aplenty, from the likes of Bond, Die Hard and a predictable homage to Entrapment, which, even though you see what will happen from a mile off, still offers plenty of laughs.even The Rock puts on a good show in this comedy.it may be a little too violent for the young ones, and the presence of Terence Stamp is a bit ywnsome (why shadow his face, when he has one of the most recognisable voices in cinema) but these are only minor gripes for this comedy.plus the inclusion of two great cameos from Murray and Caan, this is a fast paced action filled comedy, that really lives up to the trailer.
the old post-my-review-online-so-you'll-know-it's-cool-and-go-see-it trick!
posted on 31 Jul 2009being a massive fan of the old TV show, i wasn't sure what to expect. i had high hopes...and i wasn't let down! the opening was great, and by the time Max made it to his briefing, i was really excited. early in the film, though, it seemed to struggle to find its pace. thankfully, a handful of excellent action sequences helped to pick things up when they felt like they were dragging, and by the halfway mark, things picked up, and you could tell everything was clicking a lot better.i was surprised at how well-developed the spy plot part of the story was. i'm glad that part of it was not neglected.Steve Carell's Max is very different from Don Adams', but i was impressed at how he seemed to capture the essence of the character. i found myself really missing Don Adams' voice, and a couple times, Steve seemed like he had to force the catchphrases, but the few times he really seemed comfortable, he nailed them! for instance, there is a very good "Would you believe" bit midway in that provided one of my biggest laughs of the movie! 99, the Chief, Larabee, Hymie, Siegfried, and Shtarker were all changed, but the spirit of the original show was still there. the only real disappointment with the changed characters was that Siegfried didn't have the crazy accent in the movie.there were lots of homages to the original show, though, and the acting and plot were all pretty solid.so if you haven't seen it yet, see Get Smart! you'll be laughing and crying and rooting for more...and loving it!
"Personal best!" - for Steve Carell
posted on 30 Aug 2009The 2008 film Get Smart continually gets compared to its 1960s TV show predecessor, and that makes sense since it is the film adaptation of that show. However, there are many people such as myself who have never seen one minute of one episode of the Don Adams TV show (that's right fellow ignorant Generation Yers and beyond, this film is based off of the 1960s "Get Smart" TV show). So for many people like me, there will be no comparing 2008's Get Smart to the old TV show - and taking an exclusive look at the film, I personally find it to include a big share of stupidity but it is also pretty funny overall.Maxwell Smart has dreamed about becoming an secret agent for a secret U.S. government agency Control, and finally gets his chance - though it's not under the most ideal of circumstances. He's a very smart and capable guy, but he's also quite inept at the same time, which of course leads to the largest amount of the film's comedy. Get Smart includes many funny parts throughout its entirety that is mainly due to Steve Carell's performance of Maxwell Smart - Max keeps having all these things happen to him and he many times ends up being a buffoon as he's trying to do something about it. Steve Carell is a comedic actor of whom I'm usually not a fan but I really like him here in this film. He's not called upon to rely on shock humor or stupidity throughout the whole film like he usually is (though he does do a little bit of this); in Get Smart, Carell is straight-up yet subtle in his comedic delivery and couldn't be better. Most of the rest of the cast does a fine job but mostly steps aside for Carell: Anne Hathaway does her job perfectly (looking hot) as Agent 99, Dwayne Johnson is funny and entertaining as Control's star Agent 23, and Terence Stamp is tamely evil as the #1 guy on Control's Wanted List Siegfried.While the film has plenty of things that entertain, there are a lot of dumb things a part of it as well. Instances of déjà vu are scattered throughout the film like a 4 year-old with chickenpox - many scenes are taken directly from James Bond and other action films. Also, some of the comedy simply falls through because of some plainly unfunny jokes, adolescent pot shots at President Bush, and some of the actors are just really bad. It was really hard to watch Alan Arkin in his role as The Chief, being wooden as can be and continuing to make people everywhere wonder even more how he managed to ever win an Oscar. Also, David Koechner continues to do what he does best (or worst depending on how you look at it): being not funny in the least. I don't understand it - how does this guy keep getting work? Who decided he was funny? Koechner performs his usual overweight and over-aged frat boy routine to new highs in comedic pestilence here in Get Smart - and wow, do you ever wish he wasn't.Still, even though Get Smart has some truly mindless moments, is a pretty amusing film with plenty of laugh out loud moments and a fun comedic romp with Steve Carell. I probably won't be first in line to "Get Smarter" though, should one ever come about.
