Get Smart Reviews

The original Get Smart TV series was such a 60s classic, and was so identificable with the dry humor of star Don Adams, the sexiness of costar Barbara Feldon, and the innovative technology, the only way to truly honor this entertainment from our past is bring two of the original writers back. While the story in the new film version of Get Smart is written by Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember, the characters are written by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, the two lead writers of the series. — — The main characters of the original Get Smart series remain, just with new actors behind them.… read full review »

You always know what to expect when watching Steve Carrell and his dry yet catchy humor. Well hands down they have done a great job at rebirthing a classic TV series that our parents grew up on into something that was enjoyable on the bigscreen. I'm thinking that this is the new direction for films to grab attention of all ages. "if we put old characters in movies with a new spin everyone will enjoy" right? Well my friends they are correct and seem to amaze the elderly of course everyone gets analytical about whats correct and what they've changed, but lets face it change is doog i mean GOOD… read full review »

Wish I had a a better memory or asteno pad/pencil with me at this movie. "Get Smart" jokes were rapid-fire and on the money. I knew in advance not to expect much of a story.  I love sight gags and spoofing anybody, especially politicians. I went, hoping to laugh and was very happy with the ending. Don't know how it was possible (computers maybe?) but that scene with the train speeding to what looked like the end of Agent 99 and her sidekick made for some breath holding… read full review »

As a fan who used to watch the TV series, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.  It was funny throughout.  The two actors that played the 'geeks' should have had more screen time, but that's evident in the DVD that's out about just them.  (sorry don't remember what the title is).   It's worth watching, even if it's for nostalgic reasons.  And the end.........let's just say.........if you're a Get Smart TV series fan.....the end will leave you happily anticipating that, uh, there'll probably be a,  "Get Smart, Again" or "Get… read full review »

I usually don't go to movies and don't laugh at them very hard when I do. Especially the first time. I was crying from laughing so hard. Steve Carrell was BRILLIANT! This has got to be the best comedy I have ever seen. I can't wait for the DVD so I can buy it and watch it over and over again. That is something I don't do very frequently. Get Smart was a brilliant… read full review »

I loved the movie, it had just enough "quotes" from the series, but not too much to make it nauseating. I loved "aw max" and "missed it by that much" references, and the story was good. My seven year old nephew liked it, a little less in the middle, but aren't all movies a little too long these… read full review »

Thinking this would be another one of those "rerun TV show movies gone bad", I was very reluctant to see this.  I pretty much ate my words! Steve Carrell is brilliant and manages to bring it all together. This movie brings out laugh after laugh, even from a cynic like… read full review »

My hubby loved the old GET SMART show and couldn't wait for this to come out.  I was a little leary -thinking it would be too silly - however, I was pleasantly surprised.  It really had a lot of laugh out loud scenes - and Steve Carell was perfect for the… read full review »

I don't go to the movies a lot but since everyone was talking about this movie, I thought I would try it. I love comedies and heard this was hilarious. At most, it invoked a chuckle from time to time. I wasn't impressed at all. Sorry...I would not recommend it to… read full review »

This movie was very funny! — Much better than I thought it would be.  It had a lot of action and lots of things to make you laugh out loud in the theatre.  — I give it a thumbs up!  : ) —… read full review »

This was a pretty sweet comedy. Being someone who is constantly jaded by the quality of movies in the theatre presently, I was very happy to see this. —  It was family friendly. 8/10. —… read full review »

Was a great easy going movie to watch. Found it very funny, and not bad language or sex scenes. Great acters playing the characters.… read full review »
