Leave your thoughts about Get Smart.
| Associated PressChristy LemireGet Smart, which began its life on TV as a classic sitcom that cleverly satirized Cold War espionage, has been transformed for the big screen into just another standard action picture. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt’s funny, exciting, preposterous, great to look at, and made with the same level of technical expertise we’d expect from a new Bond movie itself. And all of that is very nice, but nicer still is the perfect pitch of the casting. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe amiable deadpan comic Steve Carell was a good choice to take the part of the inept agent that stand-up comedian Don Adams played. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanGet Smart is an example of getting the right actors and taking the right approach...It gave me one of the most fun times I've had at the movies all year. |
| San Antonio Express-NewsLarry RatliffThe popular deadpan comedian (Carell) is only funny about 60 percent of the time.Would you believe 50 percent? |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelDuane DudekGet Smart is like overripe, low-hanging fruit. Not being rotten doesn't make it edible. |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalCarol ClingMissed it by that much. Not that anybody will pay much attention to the many ways in which the new big-screen Get Smart plays dumb -- and fails to capture the delirious slapstick lunacy of its small-screen inspiration. |
| FilmStew.comPam GradyThe smartest thing about the movie is the way Alan Arkin and Terence Stamp inject a little bit of that 1960's spirit. |
| Fresno BeeDonald MunroSteve Carell is square-jawed-deadpan perfect as the title character. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfSegal certainly has great ideas for bullet-dodging set-pieces, but the picture indulges mayhem much too often, inadvertently handicapping Carell and the cast. |
