Critics Consensus

Get Smart rides Steve Carell's considerable charm for a few laughs, but ultimately proves to be a rather ordinary action comedy.

Kenneth Turan

Los Angeles Times

As a reworking of one of the great 1960s TV comedies, you'd think being funny would be its main goal. But you would be wrong. Very, very wrong.

Rated: 1.5/5

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh

Metro Newspaper (UK)

An uninspired comedy that runs the full gamut from characters being punched in the groin/face to being shot in the face/groin, until everything culminates in an expensively pointless action finale.

Rated: 2/5

Like a younger, more rigorous version of Leslie Nielsen in his Naked Gun prime, Carell demonstrated here why he had, at the time, a reputation as the funniest man in America.

Gone With The Twins

Admirably mimics the blend of genres and innovations that made the original series so memorable.

Rated: 8/10

While Carell hasn't quite attained an acting range that allows for much depth in his characters, the presence of Hathaway provides a perfect contrast to Maxwell Smart.

Rated: 3.0/4.0

Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, o elenco é muito bom e ajuda a melhorar o filme, que coloca o Steve carell junto com a Anne hathaway cono os protagonistas que fica bom, as cenas são bacaninhas que juntou comédia com ação que é bom para o filme, e a história é mais ou menos, e com tudo isso, eu até recomendo esse filme.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Steve Cartfulofshit still can't act. Why does hokeywood keep hiring him? Ann Hathaway has officially lost her A list status. The Crock should go back to wrestling.
