I thought this movie was hilarious, my favorite from Steve Carell. I love all the slapstick comedy, the one-liners, and the action. Can't wait for the sequel!!!

It was amusing, but not good enough to raise it beyond a mediocre action/comedy. I like Steve Carell but he just couldn't carry the film. Decent, but doesn't stick with you for very long at all.

The movie misses greatness by "that much".

The slick new version of the 1960's classic television spy comedy 'Get Smart' is one of the better tv to film adaptions to come along in recent years. It's somewhat faithful to the original show and modernizes the premise without mocking it. You can enjoy it even if you've never seen tv series. Also the best of all - it's funny with many laugh-out-loud jokes and succeeds at being an action thriller, with many engaging stunt/adventure pieces.

Steve Carell,rebounding from 2007's box office dud 'Evan Almighty' and reminding us of the '40-year-old Vigrin' we fell in love with. Carell is a master with awkard characters (he shows us this week after week on 'The Office'), as Maxwell Smart he proves to be a perfect fit for his skills. Or maybe he's just so good that he can make ANY character ...

just so-so, not great at all

This movie was not what I expected. I really expected to laugh a lot and I only laughed a little. It had a great cast of actors but you wouldn't know it by watching this movie. It's sad they slapped 'Get Smart' on this moive just to get people to watch it. I am so glad we did not go see this in theaters and waste our money.

Ok but Wait For Cable

This very much felt like they created a plot for a mediocre spy comedy then decided they needed a hook and through the get smart references in there to sell more tickets. Over all the plot was ok thee were a couple of funny parts and the acting was surprisingly good. All in all I am glad i waited till video and probably could have waited for cable.
