Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Sadly Over-hyped

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

After Blazing Saddles and The Hangover, this is the funniest movie I have seen! I have seen it 3 times and I could not stop laughing any of those times! And I don't just giggle, I burst real loud! Luckily, I have seen it with no one around! I got this from a family member and thought, okay, I am just going to see this to kill time, and it was hilarious! Most of the humor is physical and the kind of humor few laugh, but this time it succeeds beyond belief! If you need to laugh, this is a movie to see! What more is there to say? If you have not watched this, then get smart and do so as soon as possible!

Let me start off by saying that I haven't seen the TV series that this movie is adapted from, and so can't make any comparisons or comment on its transition to the big screen. Having viewed 'Get Smart' with next to no knowledge of what the the show was even about, I was hugely disappointed to find a generic and boring comedy movie filled with a bunch of lame and unoriginal jokes.There was only one scene that actually made me laugh, and that was the one where Carrell's character is attempting to navigate the room full of laser traps. Other than than, the humour just didn't appeal to me and there's nothing that separates the jokes in this film from the majority of other modern day comedies. 'Get Smart' is a poor comedy movie and I'm completely put off from checking out the TV show if it's anything like this.

I was watching this the other night on HBO & saw Rotten Tomatoes critics gave this 51%...No Way! This is cast perfectly! Anne Hathaway is quite hot as 99 and Steve Carell is hilarious as 86! Everyone in the cast is perfect! Alan Arkin is great as Chief! There are so many more great roles by many more! I agree with another reviewer that said this movie is a perfect blend of action and comedy! It is a great homage to the original series, and the writing is spot on! Very enjoyable movie...I cannot believe it only got such a so-so 51% by the critics when this came out...it shows what they know! At least the audience liked it a lot more at 67%...just goes to show you can't judge movies by critical reviews alone!

Anne Hathaway looked sexy and stunning. Really funny as well. Big- screen adaptation of the hit 1960s-era comedy series created by Mel Brooks.The evil geniuses at KAOS have hatched a diabolical plot to dominate every living man, woman, and child on the planet, and their plot gets under way as they attack the headquarters of the U.S. spy agency Control. As a result of the attack, the identity of every agent working for Control has been compromised. Realizing that the only way to thwart KAOS' evil plan is to promote eager but inexperienced Control analyst Maxwell
