Get Smart

Rated PG13 for mild violence

Starring Steve Carrrell, Anne Hathaway, Alan Arkin, Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson, Terance Stamp, Masi Oka

Maxwell Smart (Carrell) works for Government spy agency CONTROL in an administrative capacity. When headquarters is attacked, the Chief (Arkin) decides to assign Maxwell as a spy and partners him with Agent 99 (Hathaway), much to her dismay, to get to the bottom of things. Maxwell is a total clutz though and screws up royally - he even finds himself framed to look like a double agent, while the real culprit is still on the loose.

I grew up watching the reruns of the original series on Nickelodeon as a kid. In my opinion, it was alright... I thought it could have been better though and the ending seemed a bit rushed - how 99 all of sudden goes from not being able to stand Maxwell to all of a sudden she's in love with him, makes no sense - there needed to be more character development between the two of them to establish their eventual romance. Steve Carrell was really good as Maxwell Smart though... and actually the entire cast was pretty good. There were tons of cameos, two of the favorites being Bill Murray as Agent 13 and Patrick Warburton as Hymie.
