Not a no-brain satire like I was expecting, while not really high brow it manages to find an excellent happy-medium. The majority of the jokes are quite funny if you enjoy Steve Carell's delivery, there are a few that are just plain stupid and aren't funny though. Thankfully they're few and far between. The action scenes are surprisingly well done for a comedy, they've got a real Bourne-esqe feel and it works. Totally worth seeing, if you're a fan of the show or if you've never seen it before.

Some impressive stunt work and action sequences. Although it's cheesy and hilarious, it still manages to pay tribute to spy/action films with explosions, chases, shoot-outs and more explosions.

This was a surprisingly entertaining update of a show that was almost entirely comprised of shoe phones.

A few standout funny bits (I nearly cried laughing at that perfect in-tree cameo), a few standout not-funny bits (the fat jokes and xenophobia didn't sit well), but mostly just a breezy and easily-consumable action comedy with a unique lead (Carrell's dry delivery really works well with a character that's sometimes the butt of the jokes, and sometimes making the jokes), good central odd-couple chemistry, and solid action sequences. Bonus points for the pacifist conflict resolve on the rooftop.

Witty lines, quick pacing and fun performances. Hathaway and Carell are pretty great together. Sequel, please.

Given it's based on an over used and already tired premise from the start, "Get Smart" does well to be entertaining at all! But quite entertaining it is.

The pairing of Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway was surprisingly a winner, and good for a lot of laughs.

Steve Carell is great as Agent 86, he uses some of that lovable charm that shines in his tv show The Office. Its a passable comedy but surprising amount of action makes this movie enjoyable to watch.

Yes, it's a little different from the original TV series, but it's a great movie nonetheless, with all the classic Get Smart humour and awkwardness. Everything you'd expect from a spy movie spoof! And Anne Hathaway was gorgeous and very sexy as 99, she got the old "Oh, Max!" just right.

This is probably too high of a ranking, but I really had no expectations for this movie and it wasn't bad. Also the whole time I kept thing Agent Michael Scarn, which made it better

Another silly parody of spy movies, but the talented leads make it smarter than some other contenders.

Very well done, and Carell is perfect as Maxwell Smart. Not to mention that The Rock does a great job at his part, and Anne Hathaway has that kick-ass ability all the way through. Well done.

Mike: Pretty boring. Only good things were basically nostalgic references to shows. Actors did a good job, but the movie tried to be an action movie and a spy satire simultaneously...
Sophia: Blah. It was funny in parts (nothing witty, just physical humor), but mostly a lot of blah.

Consistently amusing, which is all I really wanted from it. There weren't many big laughs and the silliness gets pushed a bit far, but on the whole there are plenty of enjoyable moments to make it worthwhile.

Get Smart hits exactly the right tone; Maxwell Smart hasn't been dumbed down or made into a Clouseau. Instead, Carell plays him as an eager, intelligent naif who gets into situations beyond his experience. There are several cameos, but they're the way cameos should be: funny, brief, and truly surprising. The action beats, meanwhile, are produced with skill and always rotated towards comedic satire at just the right angle; save for one clunker of a dance scene, the movie's pretty... well, smart.

Surprisingly enjoyable. I was expecting it to be a lot stupider and boring but it was actually pretty funny. The Bill Murray and Kevin Nealon cameos were awesome.

Actually pretty funny for the most part. Sometimes it felt true to the show, and sometimes it went in new directions, but still retained its integrity.

Surpassed my expectations. It was less Austin Powers-like than I feared and more of a highly tongue-in-cheek action-comedy. Carell is funny, Hathaway is pretty, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson always entertains, and Bill Murray has a hilarious cameo. I enjoyed it.

When it wasn't being very predictable, it was very unpredictable, funny, and fairly smart. I enjoyed the time I spent watching it.

Not as unfunny as it could have been, whatever the hell that means. Billy Murray is the highlight of the entire movie.

WFLD Chicago reran Get Smart around noon in the 80's. Along with those limited animation Marvel cartoons that have been surprisingly influential on video games, it was essential lunchtime viewing for AM pre-school und kindergarten me. I love the show like an old teddy bear and own it on DVD just in case I ever get children or stepchildren. It's not a great show, but its charming cast and unapologetically formulaic nature make it endearing. This film sucks.

I was very pleasantly surprised. I expected something hammy and slapstick, with repetitive sight gags, a la Leslie Nielsen. This was actually a good, interesting, entertaining movie.

It isn't often that a remake impresses me. However, Get Smart did. And, that's probably because of the performances by its leads. Steve Carell is a better Smart than Don Adams was. Where Adams was so outrageously smart-assed with his quip, Carell presents a more softspoken Smart. He's still a bumblehead-but not as loud. The surprise and most delightful part of the movie is Hathaway's portrayal of Agent 99. She's far superior Barbara Feldon. I never thought of Hathaway as "sexy". Now, I do.

Good new set up for the oldie I used to follow; Agents 86 and 99 remind a lot of their original versions. Some good jokes, but mainly poor storytelling. Anna Hathaway is steaming hot. Unfortunately her hotness does not carry the movie.

A few good action scenes, a few laughs, and a few excellent actors aren't enough to elevate this beyond dull, predictable mediocrity, or to save it from its own embarrassingly moronic assumptions. Racial profiling that turns out to be CORRECT?!? An overweight woman...DANCING?!? OMG this comedy is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!11
