Fantastic!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This movie had funny moments, great acting, but was a very corny story. It was interesting to see the Great Khali in this movie and the Rock. Stephen Carrell was hilarious in this movie with his silly self. There were a lot of missing elements to this movie. But if not anything else it was a good adaptation to a corny show in the first place.

I would probably be a rather poor candidate as a reviewer for this film as I only made it 15 minutes in before hitting the back button on my Roku remote. I always thought the first 15 minutes of a comedy were supposed to be the part that reeled in the audience but the only thing that got reeled in was an old boot. If I don't so much as crack a smile during the early part of a comedy, then chances of that improving are not very likely. What little I did see wasn't the least bit funny and had absolutely no similarity to the original TV show in terms of characters, tone or writing.

Funny, funny, hilarious.... They tried like Bond movies but in their own style. Full of entertainment. Steve Carell Anne Hathaway Dwayne The Rock Johnson Get Smart Film

Maybe not... As a huge fan of the T.V. Show, I can't see how anybody can think that this is a good remake. Other than the obvious references to the great one-liners of the show, this didn't have much of a similarity. However, is it really about that? I would say that it isn't. This was made for a new generation to enjoy the bumblings of Maxwell Smart and as a standalone movie, it disappointed as well. It was not as funny as expected and the story was a little wonky but, nevertheless, it was okay.
