Good Movie, I think it could of been funnier but has some really funny momentsDVD Review: The Old TV-To-Film Trick. Doesn't Work Every Time But It Did For This
Summary: 5 Stars
Yay! My 100th review. Now that that's done; I couldn't imagine Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway in an action film but they pulled it off well. Nobody can top what Adams, Feldon, Platt, Kopell, etc. did in the series and the actors in this don't rip off their interpretations or belittle what they had done. Carell plays Max with a deadpan wit, which I enjoy, compared to Adams' nasily voice which defined the character back in the 60s and it still does now. Hathaway is the accomplished agent who doesn't even tolerate Max until the end while Feldon immediately fell in love with him. Platt's Chief grew exasperated with Max's antics while Arkin's actually admired Max's talent. And Kopell (who makes a cameo) used a thick German accent while Terence Stamp is an English actor who plays Seigfreid with a bit more menace. The references to the series are excellent from Max's catchphrase to the shoe-phone. Even the three cars Adams drove in the opening credits are featured. The plot is a little cliched (drawing comparisons from how Steve Martin's Clouseau gets humiliated only to be redeemed in the end) and some twists aren't that surprising but it doesn't stop this from being funny and exciting. The gags and jokes are clever (this being one of few comedies I've seen in theatres and the whole audience was laughing) but the vomit joke was disgusting and not remotely funny. The action sequences were executed well, some scenes being homages to the Bond films (the original series being a spoof of them) such as the free fall fight sequence with Dalip (who reminds me a little of Richard Keil's Jaws and Kabir Bedi's Gobinda) from Moonraker. Trevor Rabin's score is excellent and I love the reorchestrated TV theme.DVD Review: Funny, but not a classic like the show
Summary: 3 Stars
Get Smart is based on the classic 1960s sitcom starring Don Adams as Maxwell Smart and Barbara Feldon as agent 99. In the movie Steve Carrell as Smart is Control's top analyst but he wants to be an agent. He finally gets his chance when Control agents all over the world are attacked at once by KAOS and they are left short handed. So agent 86 goes on his first mission with agent 99 played by Ann Hathaway.
The cast play their parts with verve and their are several laugh out loud moments in the movie, but it doesn't sustain the laughs throughout. People who didn't watch the TV show may like it more. I loved the old show and found the differences off-putting. Don Adams played Smart with a bumbling arrogance. Carrell is a brilliant comedic actor but he played Smart so straight he had almost no personality. Barbara Feldon's 99 was smart and confident but also vulnerable. Hathaway's 99 was self-centered and abrasive at times. Get Smart is a funny movie but not a classic like the TV show.
DVD Review: Steve Carell: Smart & Funny / Anne Hathaway: Smart & Sexy
Summary: 5 Stars
Great fun movie for all viewers as it captures the brilliant British humor that has made the UK series such a big hit. The casts of the film were brilliant as they all had a complimentary role to the two leads; Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway. I would definitely recommend this film to all movie goers as it is jam packed with smart and sexy humor and comprises of some pretty cool action sequences but the comedy is the bread and butter of this film.DVD Review: Fun Action!
Summary: 4 Stars
Totally laugh out loud movie! If you're a Steve Carell fan - actually if you're an 'office' Steve Carell fan - go out and rent this DVD right now cuz you're missing out! This was such a fun action movie with all the special effects and excitement still very present. Awesome Awesome. Steve Carell does his 'thing' in this movie and he is just too awesome for words. To speak something so ridiculous with a straight face in such a serious situation - I wonder how his co-stars managed to get through the scenes without laughing their heads off. And the sparkling diamond of the movie - Anne Hathaway - is it just me, or does she get more beautiful in each film? She is a 'knock out.' Really lovely to see her combine her comic talents with the swift actions. This woman can kick butts with sexy style. All the other casts were downright hilarious. Alan Arkin - need I say more? And the geek twins Bruce and Lloyd were truly icing on the cake. Nice to see Masi Oka - the Japanese hero who travels through time - in such a fun movie.
I did knock one star off cuz the friends I went to see the movie with weren't as enthusiastic as I was. Obviously, I know they're wrong. I have seen this movie three times.
Description of Get Smart (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition)
MAXWELL SMART, AGENT 86 FOR CONTROL, BATTLES THE FORCES OF KAOS WITH THE MORE COMPETENT AGENT 99 AT HIS SIDE.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. When Max learns he's finally been promoted to agent, he slips into the Cone of Silence--which unfortunately is malfunctioning. "I'm so happy! I'm so happy!" he yells, as his colleagues sit nearby hearing the whole thing. Discovering that, he purses his lips and says, "Well, that's a sucker-punch to the gonads." Sorry about that. --A.T.
