Get Smart (2008)

Forty-three years later, it stands up to the test!

I was skeptical about this old TV turned into movie but I have to say, for camp value alone this is worth the viewing!

Steve Carell definitely channels Don Adams' bungling Maxwell Smart and Anne Hathaway is a commendable Agent 99 in this satisfactory tale of CONTROL vs KAOS.

Also appearing are
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Agent 23, Alan Arkin as The Chief, Terence Stamp as Siegfried, Terry Crews as Agent 91, David Koechner as Larabee, James Caan as the President, Bill Murray as Agent 13, Patrick Warburton as Hymie.

Directed by
Peter Segal.

Run time: 1 hour, 50 minutes

Rated PG-13 for some rude humor, action violence and language.

My personal rating: B
