Excellent but underrated film
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This one is a really solid comedy with some fun action sequences. While the jokes are hit or miss, I feel like they do their job most of the time. There isn't a ton to say about this one other than its really enjoyable. It's a good flick to throw on when you don't want a straight up comedy but also not looking for a serious action film. It blends the genres seamlessly. None of it felt forced, and that's always key to a good story. The film looks good, the performances are solid and like I said, the comedy works the majority of the time. If you're looking for a fun, easy watch, this one qualifies as such. My Rating: 7/10
This is a comedy.... or so it tries. Let me start with saying, I personally have never seen the series from the 70s,80s, or whatever.I'm a big Steve Carrel fan and the rest of the cast are really fun actors (Hathaway, Crews, Johnson, etc.)I'm just going to say it. This movie sucks.If I watched the show, then maybe I could understand the comedic elements better. But as an average 26 year old movie goer, this was garbage. I recommend staying away from this trash.
Max Smart is an analyst for the US spy agency CONTROL. He yearns to become a field agent and after eight years has finally passed the test but has to face disappointment when told that he is too good an analyst to be made an agent. The situation soon changes when agents from Kaos, a foreign agency, attack and steal details of all active agents. That leaves just two people to go into the field and foil their plot; Smart and 'Agent 99', an agent whose details haven't been updated since her plastic surgery. Evidence suggests that agents of Kaos, under the leadership of 'Siegfried', have stolen a quantity of Uranium so Max and Agent 99 are sent to Russia to investigate. It won't be easy though; there is a mole in CONTROL and KAOS has some particularly tough agents.When I picked this up I was expecting something similar to 'Johnny English' with a fairly incompetent protagonist who ultimately prevails in spite of his stupidity. Actually it is quite different, there are some slapstick moments but for the most part he is skilled if somewhat naïve. The central story is solid and not inherently silly. There is a fine mix of comedy and action with neither being sacrificed at the expense of the other. Max Smart is a solid and likable protagonist, Steve Carell does an impressive job in the role. He is ably supported by Anne Hathaway, who is a lot of fun as Anent 99; Alan Arkin, who plays his short tempered boss and Dwayne Johnson, who plays 'super-agent' 23. Terence Stamp makes a good villain and Dalip Singh is a lot of fun as a henchman who is clearly inspired by Jaws from the James Bond films. The action scenes are exciting and wouldn't be out of place in a non-comedy action film aimed at the same demographic. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the secret agent genre who want a good laugh; it is suitable for anybody old enough to enjoy Roger Moore era Bond films; which in many ways in resembles.
Anne Hathaway looked sexy and stunning. Really funny as well. Big- screen adaptation of the hit 1960s-era comedy series created by Mel Brooks.The evil geniuses at KAOS have hatched a diabolical plot to dominate every living man, woman, and child on the planet, and their plot gets under way as they attack the headquarters of the U.S. spy agency Control. As a result of the attack, the identity of every agent working for Control has been compromised. Realizing that the only way to thwart KAOS' evil plan is to promote eager but inexperienced Control analyst Maxwell
