Get Smart

On Tuesday June 24, 2008, I went to see the movie Get Smart. This film stars Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson and Alan Arkin. Steve Carell plays Maxwell Smart, also known as Agent 88, who gets a promotion as a field agent for Control.

What happens is that Control was investing a case about uranium/radioactive material in the Soviet. However, the office of Control was compromised (i.e it was completely blown up), and the computer mainframe was hacked into. So, Control agents were killed left, right and centre. The only two candidates that were not compromised were Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, because she has had severe plastic surgery.

So, the movie is about Maxwell Smart (Agent 86) and Agent 99 trying to solve the case. This was a nice movie, a nice remake. They kept most of the gags, and it was enjoyable. People who have not seen the series will probably like the movie, but for peole who have seen the original series, probably not so much.
