Get Smart was hilarious. Steve Carell,Anne Hathaway,Dwayne Johnson,Alan Arkin did a great job in the movie. It had Action, Comedy, Drama, and Romance. I give Get Smart 5 stars.

although i never watched the Get Smart series i still enjoyed the movie. Get Smart had me laughing from begining to end. on the car ride home I couldn't stop laughing and if I think about it I will start laughing right now

Boy, was I surprised! I was never impressed with the TV show - mildly amusing, at best. But everything about this movie was worlds better. The writing was excellent. Aside from a slump in the middle of the film, it moved along very quickly. And the timing was right where the TV show was wrong. Steve Carell showed how to deliver a line, and Anne Hathaway showed how to be a straight man without simpering. And Alan Arkin! He has always been a good, journeyman actor. But in the past few years he has blossomed into one of the best on the screen. My 70-year-old father loved it. My middle-aged wife and I loved it. And my 10-year-old son loved it. See it!

This movie was hilarious. I saw it the first week it came out. Steve Carell was hilarious. They made Steve Carell character alot smarter in this movie than his character in the t.v.show. I give Get Smart 5 stars.

Get Smart is the best you have 2 see it i watched it 2 times already really good movie i was cracking up the hole movie 5 out of 5!!1

omg i just back from the movie theater that movie was great it has everything great in it theres a mix of action/romance/ and of course comedy. i loved it. if you dont see it you are stupid its probably one of the best comedys ive ever saw perfect for all ages. i was laughing throughout the whole movie. anne hathaway and steve carrel are so great in it and the rock is great to. this is a must see movie.

If you love to laugh...THIS IS A MUST SEE! I haven't laughed this hard in a movie since "Ace Ventura--Pet Detective." Steve Carell is superb. He doesn't over do stupidity (e.g., Mr Bean). You easily begin to relate/empathiz e with his character leading you to cheer him on throughout the movie. I took my entire family and we all loved it.

I saw this sat, it was good very funny.It was'nt as good as I thought it was going to be.but I really liked it.I like it when he says "just mess it by that much!!

I love this movie soooo much! I loved the TV show and I thought that the movie would mock the TV show, it did not. My favorite movie of 2008 so far.

I have not laughed so much during a movie for YEARS.
First off, the setup. Steve Carrell is Max Smart, who has been flying a desk for the past 8 years as an analyst for Control (the super-secret spy agency).
Smart wants to be an agent so badly that he has become Control’s top analyst. All he does all day long is listen to Russian chatter and translate it--real-time. He writes 500-page reports that no one reads, and gives hours-long meetings during which his agents fall asleep at the table. Smart is so motivated to be an agent that he has lost 150 pounds.
The first half-hour of the movie will resonate with anyone who works in the corporate or government sectors—here� ��s the hardest working guy in your office, the guy who never stops working, even when he’s brushing his teeth or eating dinner, the guy who knows more than the people who keep getting promoted past him. And there are also the office bullies and the office dweebs.
The great thing about the first half-hour is that although it does its job of setting up the day-to-day routine of Maxwell Smart, it isn’t just a setup. It is engaging, funny, and true to life. It also makes you relate to Smart--and Carrell is the perfect guy for this part--he’s doing that sweet, slightly dorky, very human and really likable guy that he does so well.
Then we meet Anne Hathaway. I am more familiar with her as the Princess Diaries star, and I was so pleased to see how she has matured in this film. Hathaway is the insanely beautiful Agent 99. I have to admit, I have the slightest girl-crush on 99. At first she just seems like an emotionally closed-off agent with a pretty face, but as we get to know her, 99 reveals so much more of her personal history and vulnerability. She is so much more than the typical spy-movie hot chick.
Aside from the two main stars, this movie is a parade of familiar faces with tons of surprise cameos including Bill Murray, George Bush, and others. It could almost be a game of I-spy.
The second segment of the movie takes us inside rural Russia, with a few breathtakingly beautiful scenes, lots of action and a HILARIOUS dance scene.
I don’t want to spoil the end, so I’ll just say that after the first half-hour (which is slower-paced than the rest of the movie, but it’s not boring--it is funny and smartly-written ) after the first half-hour, the film moves from action scene to action scene with bits of humor and excellent character development in between. What I find most amazing about this movie is how well writers Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember managed to keep up the dialogue, situational humor, and action throughout. There are so many scenes where you (as the veteran action-movie watcher) are just so sure the film is headed in one direction, and then the writers turn it around and do something you never saw coming.
The ending has it’s over-the-top moments, and if you know anything about the way national security agencies operate, there will be times a critical voice inside you would be tempted to say, “no way in **** that would ever happen,” but it’s just so much fun that you end up telling that voice to just shut up and watch the movie.
I would definitely see this movie again. I did not take my kids to see it this time, but I will probably take them next week. I think anyone over the age of 5 would enjoy it. It’s not scary at all. There is some stage violence, but it’s no worse than average and no gore. There is some situational humor that would go right over the kids' heads. There’s one really nauseating scene toward the end, and also some language—but nothing that an adept parent couldn’t turn into a teaching moment after the movie, as in, that expression was totally appropriate in that situation, but would be guaranteed to get someone in trouble at school or at the dinner table.
What else can I say? Go see it, take your friends, take people who like to laugh, or take people who never laugh and see if this works on them!
