Get Smart

An assault by the KAOS crime syndicate on Control leaves the spy world in disarray, with agents exposed and the agency reeling. In response, the Chief promotes Maxwell Smart, a bright but hapless analyst who longs for field glory, to lead a mission. He is paired with Agent 99, the only operative whose cover remains intact and who steadies the group. The mismatched duo stumble through improvised trainings and miscommunications as they chase a shadowy mastermind bent on global domination. Smart's eager bravado collides with danger and discipline, turning gadgets and quick wit into an unlikely toolkit. Their assignment tests nerve, loyalty, and the value of trusting your instincts. A paced score and brisk set pieces keep the pace lively.

Directed by Peter Segal, Get Smart reimagines the 1960s TV spoof created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry for a modern audience. Steve Carell stars as Maxwell Smart with Anne Hathaway as Agent 99, delivering brisk action and light satire.

Made on a budget of 80,000,000, the film earned about 230,685,453 dollars worldwide, indicating solid performance across audiences. The numbers reflect a family friendly blend of spy gags, chase sequences, and broad humor that played well in theaters globally today.

The movie nods to the original series while updating the jokes for a late 2000s crowd. It helped bring a clean spoof of espionage back to mainstream cinemas, with visual gags and performance anchors that let Carell and Hathaway carry the lighthearted pull of the franchise. It finds its rhythm.

Critical response was mixed, with praise for Carell and Hathaway and for giving a breezy sense of fun to a familiar premise, while some critics found the humor too broad. The film explores teamwork, competence under pressure, and how confidence can come from surprising places. And audiences left smiling overall.
