Get Smart Movie Review

We had some time off while our kids are out of school and between events so decided to catch a movie.  I wanted to see this as I used to watch the series Get Smart on TV.

If you are looking for a movie that will make you laugh, this is it.  Steve Carell plays the bumbling Maxwell Smart to a tee.  Max gets his big break and realizes his dream of being a field agent along side Agent 99 played by Anne Hathaway when the identities of Controls agents are compromised.  Anne Hathaway plays the part with a few twists to her story.  She is definitely a strong woman of the times.  Dwayne Johnson plays the likeable Agent 23 at Control.  The role of the Chief is carried by Alan Arkin.  The agents of Control must work to thwart an evil plan being carried out by KAOS-of course, they are trying to acheive world domination.

There is a lot of physical comedy and fun gadgets throughout the movie including the "Cone of Silence".  (There have been many times I have wished for one of those when my kids are arguing.  I'd still be able to see them but not hear them. I can dream...)  While a few of the one-liners fall flat, most are funny and fit in with the movie.  They do leave an opening for a sequal at the end too.  There was some language in the movie but not too bad.  My kids enjoyed the movie.  We recommend you see this movie.
