better than I thought |
|
I went into seeing this movie thinking it would be just another dumb remake of a TV show. I was very wrong about that. The movie was entertaining and had good action from beginning to end. I mean the fight scenes were well coreographed as well as the explosions/special effects were well done. This is the first movie that Carrell had the leading role that I really liked. The supporting cast also meshed well to make this a good movie. I would recommend this movie for anyone looking for a good laugh and some action. |

A successful modern spoof |
|
This modern-day update of TV's classic "Get Smart" spy spoof is an entirely successful comedy film, and definitely better than I would have thought. Steve Carell's Maxwell Smart isn't as nebbishy as one might expect, based on either the original role, or on Carell's other roles -- indeed, this Maxwell Smart is much more capable than the earlier incarnation, where he usually won over the forces of evil by sheer dumb luck. This film is a savvy spy parody with a light, sure touch -- it drags a little in the end (the inevitable chase scene) but overall, it's quite intelligent and genuinely funny. Worth checking out!

A very funny movie |
I was a fan of the old TV show
and this movies does that no harm!
I'm also a big Anne Hathaway fan and she pulls off
the comedy acting well.
With the Bush administration making the spy business a bad word,
it is refreshing to see something "fresh" if it is a revival.
The latest Bond movie is a real sell out!
Most of the jokes were is good taste,
unlike another spoof spy movie that it on three remakes.
I was just thinking about buying the TV series DVD for someone in the family for Christmas. |

A Tribute That Gets It Right |
Most movie tributes to TV series don't impress me. They usually try to revisit every gag of the original series and it ends up seeming forced and contrived. This movie is not at all that way. It manages to pay homage to the original series without dredging up every possible moment. It's fresh, contemporary and when they drop and old line or an old gag it's always done constructively frequently in a surprising context.
Steve Carell brings the viewer a believable character, a Maxwell Smart that actually is smart but somewhat inexperienced as a field agent. Likewise, Anne Hathaway portrays 99 as an experienced agent with real emotions and feelings, someone that grants respect to Max only as he earns it. In a sense, much of the movie is based upon the TV show but reels it in a bit and plays as being plausible in many ways.
The final scene is probably the most far-fetched but it is also very gripping. Overall it plays about like the average Bond film but the humor is rarely far from the surface.
