This one is a really solid comedy with some fun action sequences. While the jokes are hit or miss, I feel like they do their job most of the time. There isn't a ton to say about this one other than its really enjoyable. It's a good flick to throw on when you don't want a straight up comedy but also not looking for a serious action film. It blends the genres seamlessly. None of it felt forced, and that's always key to a good story. The film looks good, the performances are solid and like I said, the comedy works the majority of the time. If you're looking for a fun, easy watch, this one qualifies as such. My Rating: 7/10

A big disappointment I took after watching this film. Before I saw, I've wondered if it would see the good Peter Segal, the one who supplies his comedies with picaresque dialogues, politically incorrect and hilarious scenes (Tommy Boy, Anger Management), or in contrast, I would find the bad Peter Segal or less good (The Nutty Professor 2). Unfortunately I ran into the second. Without being among the worst adaptations of old television series, the fact is that Get Smart is boring and I do not think it satisfies the expectations of any of the fans of the series. We can analyze the film from two points of view, as an adaptation and as a film in itself, and neither is very favorable to the film.The spirit of the series is closer, paradoxically, to the character of Johnny English or Inspector Clouseau, than to this Maxwell Smart, allegedly legitimized and reconverted into a secret agent cash. The series, a successful success in the 70's, was pleasing to the world by its ability to laugh at the cold war, to ridicule the secret agents, both the Americans and the Russians. And among all that endless ridiculous characters was the character played by a fabulous Don Adams, a chaotic agent, with the logic of a four-year-old and solutions taken by the hair led to a wonderful absurd. Here, the character of Steve Carell, a recognized comedian in "Little Miss Sunshine" and the TV show "The Office", is closer to James Bond than to Smart, meticulous, with excellent grades, practically without fail in his searches and with incredible abilities. This characterization of the character limits his comedy and the development of the plot until it becomes vulgar and boring. The same goes to the agent 99 (Anne Hathaway), shown as a Milla Jovovich-like superwoman, nothing to do with the adorable Barbara Feldon. From her, I thought that the time of "The Princess Diaries" has left behind, being surpassed by her sober interpretations in films like "Brockeback Mountain" or later "Rachel Getting Married". Nor do the rest of the characters remember too much their original characters, the case of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson it's more serious, bad affair. The only actor who does well in this movie, is the experienced Bill Murray.I do not know where that tendency comes from adapting series without respecting its original tone. I still do crosses with the adaptation of "Starsky and Hutch" moving the most intense television thriller from "The Streets of San Francisco" to a minor comedy show. Or the loss of contact with the reality of "Charlie's Angels", or the minor tone of "Miami Vice", or...finally a lack of respect with the followers of the series and also with the creators of the same, although at least they will have received economic compensation. The second point of view of criticism is as independent film. The film is boring, its plot is predictable and the outcome is seen to satiety. I do not know why action and comedy films like "Catch Me If You Can" have that tendency to end up in a threatened auditorium. But there are moments of this film in which one thinks to have had a "dejá vu" or to have accidentally touched the remote control of the television and to have changed to another movie. At the end there is a sense of intranscendence and wasted time.If not for this detail the movie could have been titled "Agent Cody Banks 30 years after" or any crap like that.

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
