Summary: This rendition of Get Smart missed it by "that much."
Comment: Max Smart (Steve Carell), who works for a super secret government agency CONTROL, is just itching to get out of this analyst job and become an agent in the field. As luck or unluck would have it his opportunity comes early. KAOS, their evil crime nemesis, has obtained all the names of the CONTROL agents with the exception of Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway.) Now KAOS is threatening to Nuke a few cities if they do not get their extortion money. Who is behind the dastardly plot? Of course it is the last person you would suspect. Sure.
It can be quite tricky to balance the unique silliness of the original 1965-1969 TV series starring Don Adams and Barbara Feldon with today's audience. If it had been made a period piece the presentation would have lost the opportunity to be sophisticated enough for today's discerning audience. Yet if it became too plausible we would lose the whimsicality that made the series great.
This rendition of Get Smart missed it by "that much."
The Blu-ray version is run of the mill for today. Nothing spectacular or extraordinary about the technology presenting this story. I would caution you that the out takes are really alternate scenes and actually determinate your enjoyment of this movie instead of enhancing it.

Summary: Plain old Boring!
Comment: I remember GET SMART with fondness and loved watching it with my dad in the 60's-early 70's, so I guess I was expecting too much from this film and I actually left the theater about 40 mins. in. It just was not funny. It tried hard with the gadgets, and quips from the TV show, but for me it just didn't connect at all. I'm not being critical, just honest.

Summary: TV Show gets Decent Update with Style
Comment: Mild and missing a beat hear and there; it is as perfect as possible for an update of this comedic Borscht Belt Bond creation. The mood is intact. Carell and Hathaway are hot. My only defense against those who don't like it,...is Don Adams, being in that moment and the writing team, timing and period of theTV show.
That was then, this is now. Picture is digiperfect but I'm getting spoiled by the new HD sound formats; so the best thing I can say about this Dolby track is that I don't have to worry about my neighbors.

Summary: I loved this classic remade into a modern version!
Comment: Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway are perfect in their roles as Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 in the movie version of "Get Smart". This movie is the perfect combination of action and comedy without being too cheesy. I enjoyed the special effects and storyline as well. I felt the acting was great by all cast members as well! My hubby was a huge fan of the "Get Smart" television series and he felt that the movie was the modern version of "Get Smart".

Summary: Yep, missed it by that much...
Comment: I'm a big fan of the original series. It had it all: comedy, romance, political satire, physical comedy and action. The humor was both broad and subtle. The movie captured the broad strokes, but missed the subtle humor. Carrel made the role his own and was very good. Hathaway as 99 worked pretty well. Arkin's role as the chief was good. The physical comedy was good. The romance worked. The relationship between Max and the chief worked. The cone of silence and the other gadgets were excellent. Some of the scenes fell flat. The homage to the car and the shoe phone of the original show was good.
In summary, the movie was good. It missed some of the political satire and subtle humor of the original show, but for a movie made from a TV series it was very good. My wife and I laughed a lot, which is the major test of a movie like this.
