Review of Get Smart (2008)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for The New York Times (9,847) on 03 Aug 2011

It flounders whenever it tries to weave the real world into its fantasia, partly because it isn't really about anything other than making money,…

By Lou Lumenick (2,103) for New York Post (6,650) on 03 Jul 2011

Max's even more fabled shoe phone also makes an appearance - and, fortunately for Get Smart, the self-deprecating Carell isn't shoe-phoning…

Steve Carell's portrayal of Max is just about perfect for the material…

Review of Get Smart (2008)

By Kenneth Turan (2,323) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 15 Sep 2010

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 29 Aug 2010

Review of Get Smart (2008)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 21 Apr 2010

Remaking Get Smart for the big screen might have sounded like a bad idea, but the movie shows it to have been something else: a REALLY bad idea…

Review of Get Smart (2008)

By Michael Sragow (1,413) for Baltimore Sun (1,823) on 24 Feb 2010

Review of Get Smart (2008)

By John Anderson (1,358) for Variety (12,700) on 21 Sep 2009

Review of Get Smart (2008)

By Andy Spletzer (26) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 20 Aug 2009

Get Smart is action movie and spoof and, though it's often a little unbalanced, the ultimate result is a harmlessly entertaining picture…

Review of Get Smart (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Apr 2009

Review of Get Smart (2008)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 29 Mar 2009
