Product Description
MAXWELL SMART, AGENT 86 FOR CONTROL, BATTLES THE FORCES OF KAOS WITH THE MORE COMPETENT AGENT 99 AT HIS SIDE.
Amazon.com
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.

Great Humor January 31, 2010
A. Gift For You (Arizona)
Didn't think I'd be interested at all in watching this, but was very suprised. Towards the end I was laughing so hard I nearly cried.
Just one thing... January 27, 2010
Joseph Martinez
I really like it when studios release movies Blu-rays with digital copies (which Warner have done here) and I like it even more when they also include the DVD (which they haven't). A pretty big part of owning a phyisical copy of a movie is being able to share it with friends and family and nearly all of mine are still using DVDs. Wall-E and The Princess Bride managed to pack both formats into one set and it would have been nice to see that catch on.
Get Smart (Single-Disc Fullscreen Edition) January 18, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
American Maxwell Smart works for a Government spy agency in an administrative capacity. When the agency's head office is attacked, the Chief decides to assign Maxwell as a spy and partners him with sexy Agent 99, much to her chagrin. The duo nevertheless set off to combat their attackers by first parachuting off an airplane and landing in Russian territory - followed closely by a over seven foot tall, 400 pound goon, known simply as Dalip. The duo, handicapped by Maxwell's antics, will eventually have their identities compromised, and may be chalked up as casualties while back in America their attackers have already planted a bomb that is set-up to explode in a concert. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and highly recommend this to anyone, especially fans of the original TV series.
 Great Remake - Worth the Time January 4, 2010

This is a great remake on the old series, Get Smart. It holds just true enough to the series while bringing it up to date. It has a plot with enough humor to keep you involved and still manages to bring back the childhood memories of watching the series each week.
I saw it once and really enjoyed it...enough to put it on my wish list. Received it as a gift and popped it right in for a 2nd round of enjoyment...added a few friends and we all had a good time!
We love this movie! December 30, 2009

This is a hilarious movie! We got it last year for ourselves for Christmas and it was our favorite gift. We have watched it so many times that we decided to get the Blu-ray this year and it is a beautiful, crisp picture with amazing detail! It doesn't come with a digital or a DVD copy (as stated in the description) but it is still a great purchase! We love watching The Office and Steve Carrell is just great in this as well. I wasn't sure how Anne Hathaway would do in this more serious, all grown up detective role but she was great too! The only thing that I don't like were the extra/gag scenes since most of the jokes were inappropriate. If you don't own this buy it!
