Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The Cold War may be over, but that doesn't mean it can't still be milked for laughs. Get Smart, the sassy film version of the Mel Brooks/Buck Henry-created '60s TV satire, brings plenty of elements of the original series and spins it freshly into the new world of bad guys in the 21st century, pretty much without losing a beat. Steve Carell is perfectly cast as the bumbling Maxwell Smart--but in a slick improvement on the TV show, Smart isn't really hapless--though he has a bit of a self-esteem problem (all around his apartment are sticky notes with exhortations like "You can do it!"). Carell's Maxwell Smart is a sharp techie researcher at the uber-secret crime-battling agency, CONTROL, who's just a little out of his element out in the field. As his data-crunching sidekick Bruce (Masi Oka of Heroes) says, "We're the ones guarding democracy!", aghast that Max would want to be an agent. But Max longs for the action enjoyed by the likes of Agent 23 (a godlike Dwayne Johnson), with glamorous deployments around the world. When he finally gets his dream assignment--as the newly minted Agent 86--he's paired up with the slick and experienced Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway), who provides great lines, not to mention some interesting chemistry, while she continually saves Max from harm's way. The cast is terrific, with memorable appearances by Alan Arkin as the Chief, Terrence Stamp as the head of the uber-evil KAOS, and Bill Murray as a (literally) put-out-to-pasture agent whose spy post is inside a tree ("really great, old-school stuff" he calls his assignment). And there's plenty of action, explosions, and creative shootouts with the bad guys (highlight: a freefall from a plane, with two people and just two parachutes). But it's Carell and his combination of insecure yearning and deadpan delivery that make Get Smart as well smart as it is. --A.T. Hurley Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Daft & funny spy filmGet Smart is good fun. It never takes itself too seriously and has a good mix of action and comedy. There are some great setpieces, a few fantastic lines and the cast is very impressive. There's also a great bit during a symphony concert that had me in fits of laughter. Great light entertainment. Rating:  - Not as Good as It Could Have BeenThis movie was this summer's TV rerun turned big screen flick. I laughed. I cringed. I held my breath. And, ultimately, I wished I'd listened to my two roommates who saw it opening night and hated it. I thought it was okay, but there were other things I could have done with my time and money. While most people think the Communist organization KAOS died at the end of the cold war, it really went under ground. So, too, did the US organization devoted to stopping it, CONTROL. Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is their top analyst, but he secretly desires to be an agent because they get all the glory. His idol is Agent 23 (Dwayne Johnson), not only the best, but a popular nice guy. But The Chief (Alan Arkin) won't promote Max because ... Read More: Rating: - Zucker Brothers Humour"Get Smart" might update a sixties TV series but it is retro in more ways than one. The opening few scenes are remincent of the eighties Zucker Brothers comedies which isnt surprising given a Mel Brooks producing credit and the fact that director Peter Segal cut his teeth on Naked Gun 3. Trouble is the opening gags have a hitrate more comparable to "Top Secret!" than "Airplane!"s and there are some truely crigeworthy moments to be overcome until the film hits its stride. When it finally does so it becomes an enjoyable, if predictable( some obious "Spy Who Loved Me", True Lies" influences on show), affair that should get even the sourest puss smiling. Superb cast too; Steve Carell reprises his "David Brent/Michael Scott" act and there are some excellent ... Read More: Rating: - More Russian than I you dieThat film does not try to make you smart or to be smart itself. In fact it wants you to feel it, it wants you to smart with a big pain you know where because of too much laughing. So it is not witty, nor intellectually humorous. It is just plain silly and dumb so that you may laugh at the antics. Mel Brooks is behind that kind of humor and it is hilarious. Do not think you may get out of it smarter or even wiser. If you recognize the models, the remake of James Bond and even the remake of a 1970s TV parody of James Bond, you might be lighter in the head. You may also recognize some other allusions. But that is all. The only dense aspect in this film is the obsession with the new cold war that would be coming up from Russia. That is a typical American obsession. ... Read More: Rating: - Forgettable funThis is the type of film you can use to entertain yourself on a quiet evening. It is by no means great, for the most part it is entirely forgettable and unoriginal. Saying that, it's a fun couple of hours of bond esqe comedy starring everyone's favourite 'brick', Anne Hathaway and a couple of wrestlers. I wouldn't recommend buying this at full price. But in a bargain bin for a fiver, you couldn't go wrong. |
