Get Smart

Although this movie was getting mixed reviews i decided to take my dad to see it anyways..

 

Steve Carell plays an excellent Maxwell Smart. He almost sounds just like Don Adams. (especially when he says.. “Missed it by that much”)

I thought they did a good job at making Max seem stupid without making it seem unbelievable that he actually pulled this off. and he seemed so cute :D

[Spoiler Alert]

Maxwell Smart works as an analyst at Control, he has taken the test to be a field agent 7 times already. This would be his 8th. He ends up passing but Chief doesnt want to promote him cuz he is too good at his job. KAOS penetrates Control and steals the names of all their field agents, and they then begin to kill Control agents around the world. The Chief (Alan Arkin) promotes Max, designates him Agent 87, and partners him with Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). long story short..There are some close calls.. but agent 99 and Max end up saving the day (the end.. where he tackles the old guy. VERY funny.. but i really dont want to ruin the movie for ppl that dont listen to spoiler alerts)

[End Spoiler]

 

All in all.. the movie was a breath of fresh air from the movies that have been coming out.. its good clean fun.. you can watch it as a family and trust me.. you will laugh at it. i think it stays pretty true to the tv series.

i give it 4/5 stars. worth seeing in movie theaters … and im going to be buying it when it comes out on dvd. Love steve carell.. loved the movie.
