The set up is perfect, but for being an almost two hour film, the laughs are pretty sparse, and Steve Carell seems to be sleepwalking through his role.

Get Smart stays stupid.
The entire movie feels like a bad joke. Carrell isn't funny, Hathaway does nothing, and Dwayne Johnson is well, Dwayne Johnson. The action is pathetic and the "spy" aspect does nothing for the movie and its terrible script.

The comedy is too light for me? Or heavy? I don't know. I fell asleep too much and I didn't regret it. This movie also reminded me of Johnny English or The Tuxedo. I mean, the concept. Two agents, man and woman, have to become a partner.The comedy is too light for me? Or heavy? I don't know. I fell asleep too much and I didn't regret it.

However, I like the part when Agent 99 had to pass the laser trap and she did it exactly like in striptease moves. But when Max tried to copy her, a very big mouse suddenly came out of his tux. Haha, got me lol.… Expand

"Get Smart" is a terrible spy copy-cat movie. It does nothing right with its crude jokes, dumb action, a not-funny steve carell, stone-cold Hathaway, and homosexuality (Dwayne Johnson)?

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 Wow, people are so easily entertained these days!

A few good laughs and a few good smiles. Honestly, that's all I was looking for. Get Smart is not meant to be a quality piece of filmmaking--rather a light, mild-actioned flick starring two likable actors, Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway.

Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway's charm make "Get Smart" worth viewing, but the movie eventually collapses through predictable gags and uninspiring action.

At the end of this film I had the feeling that the makers wanted to leave the door open for perhaps a sequal or two. Sorry , but it just didn't work. It never felt right. Maybe you just can't go back? It wasn't Carells fault At the end of this film I had the feeling that the makers wanted to leave the door open for perhaps a sequal or two. Sorry , but it just didn't work. It never felt right. Maybe you just can't go back? It wasn't Carells fault ,but this film never seemed to feel like anything more than a made for tv movie made to play durings a ratings week. Maybe with lots more TV hype and a 1 day only showing like that it would have seemed better? Or , maybe it isn't 1965 anymore and the whole spy spoof has gotten old.(remember the dreadful last Austin Powers?).… Expand

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.

Entertaining, but I must say I was disappointed and hoped it would capture the essense of the original TV series more than it did. Anne Hathaway si good, but Steve Carell was unimpressive.

Not smart enough to be funny. A few laughs mostly from side characters. Steve Carrell Maxwell Smart is dumb and agent 99 is whiny.

Funny, but sort of a let-down. Not Steve's funniest work.

I thought the espionage segments were well done however the ending was typical Hollywood drivel, with every one of the good guys triumphing in the end. The catch phrases from the show were not only poorly delivered and completely unnecessary with the exception of the "Chuch Norris" line. Overall the movie was just okay which is too bad. I thought we had a winner here.… Expand

I really enjoyed this movie and was thoroughly entertained for the hour and a half after coming out of the movie theater, however, after seeing such films like "iron man" and ESPECIALLY "the dark knight", my complete interest in this movie has gone. it has it's funny moments, and sometimes is a little too retarded for the kind of "action" genre it was aiming for, however is enjoyable. I'm not sure how much i liked the cast however. I loved Steve Carrell and Alan Arkin, but the rest just didn't fit right. The romance between Carrell and Hathaway was just forced and awkward and weird... and well, was just not there! So they could've done better with that. I don't know, not my favorite and i don't count on buying it when it comes out, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't see it. SEE THE DARK KNIGHT! It will blow your freaking mind!… Expand

Remaking "Tennessee Tuxedo" might've been the more meliorative idea than pumping some parodic comedy with a light touch such as "Get Smart" with steroidal action. Penguins are still a hot commodity. Bono could play the walrus, again. Remaking "Tennessee Tuxedo" might've been the more meliorative idea than pumping some parodic comedy with a light touch such as "Get Smart" with steroidal action. Penguins are still a hot commodity. Bono could play the walrus, again. "Get Smart" finds the right balance of action and comedy when Max(Steve Carell) and Agent 99(Anne Hathaway) are overseas infiltrating KAOS, but when the secret agents return to the states, they separate, and the film loses momentum. There's also a miscalculation of what "Get Smart" needs, as the comedic half of the formula gets framed and hijacked by a storyline that is too large in scale. This nude bomb doesn't merely strip you of your clothes, but it'll melt your skin and tear the flesh from your bones, as well. "Get Smart" is caught in no man's land. It makes the mistake of being an event film. The audience wants more banter between Carrell and Hathaway, not a rehash of Phil Alden Robinson's "The Sum of All Fears".… Expand

Difficile de ne pas comparer Max la Menace à son homologue britannique Johnny English, tant les deux font sans l'ombre d'un doute la paire! Deux agents secrets novices qui se vantent, sans pour autant arrêter laDifficile de ne pas comparer Max la Menace à son homologue britannique Johnny English, tant les deux font sans l'ombre d'un doute la paire! Deux agents secrets novices qui se vantent, sans pour autant arrêter la déferlante de gags. Tout cela pour nous divertir! Et il fallait admettre que cela marchait avec English. Avec Max la Menace, c'est pareil! A la différence que l'on sent ici le produit américain, qui n'hésite pas à user d'un humour parfois pipi caca (et en dessous de la ceinture) qui ne rate pourtant rarement son objectif, et qui possède un côté plus spectaculaire question action (la poursuite finale). Bref, amusant et distrayant.… Expand
