Summary - Really Great 4.5

“Missed it by that much”! (A perfect rating that is). Steve Carrel finally gets a movie role that brings out his full potential and range. He was a natural at the oft. buffoonish Maxwell Smart. Ann Hathaway plays the straight-woman Agent 99 and is a perfect fit in the role. Surprising was the genuine chemistry between them. Alan Arkin was a joy to watch as the chief, and Dwayne Johnson was surprisingly good as self-centered Agent 23. Don’t miss the cameo by Bill Murray and the minor but funny role by James Caan as the President. This movie was true to the “Get Smart” TV legacy and Mel Brooks was written all over it. Great fun and lots of laughs. Don’t miss it!

Acting - Great 4.0

Film - Great 4.0

Edge - Risqué 1.7

The worst violence was Steve’s self inflicted wounds, which were quite funny!

Reality - Glib 1.7
