|
MPAA RATING: PG-13 for some rude humor, action violence and language
Starring Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Alan Arkin, Terrence Stamp, Terry Crews, David Koechner, and James Caan
When the headquarters of secret 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 his idol, stalwart superstar Agent 23. Smart is partnered instead with the only other agent whose identity has not been compromised: the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99. As Smart and 99 get closer to unraveling KAOS' master plan--and each other--they discover that key KAOS operative Siegfried and his sidekick, Shtarker, are scheming to cash in with their network of terror. With no field experience and little time, Smart--armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm--must defeat KAOS if he is to save the day. (Warner Bros. Studios)

Aron J. gave it a9:
This movie is nothing short of fun, and hilarious. Carrell at this best. The actors clicked, the story made sense, and a very well directed movie.
William T. gave it a7:
Predictable and sometimes deadpan it may be, but Get Smart proves to be a lot more entertaining than you might expect.
Adam A gave it an8:
Don't look for a remake, look for a lighthearted homage and you just might find it enjoyable.
Scott Q. gave it a4:
I give it a 4 for about 4 really funny scenes and only funny scenes in the movie. The bathroom part on the plane with Carrel was just hilarious. The movie as a whole was a complete mess and overall not funny. I love Carrel but did not love this movie, sucked.
G E gave it a4:
Wow, people are so easily entertained these days! Can't believe all the 9 and 10 votes for this pretty boring movie. There were a few funny scenes, like Bill Murray as the guy in the tree, but overall . . . zzzzzzzzzz. Very predictable and just not that funny. Not as bad as Zohan, and definitely not as bad as Wild Hogs, but still pretty disappointing.
Amy A. gave it a6:
This movie had TONS of potential the cast was good but the set up of the entire movie was bad. and as someone said before me it was mostly made up of bathroom and giggly sex jokes. It have had more jokes that went father then bathroom and sex ones. all in all it was not very good and very VERY predictable.
John U gave it a9:
I am a fan of the original. I feel this remake did it justice. Great writing, acting, humor, special effects/stunts. It made me laugh out loud on multiple occassions. My two teenage kids really appreciated it too.
