idiotboy As most comments here mention, this is a film for the fans of the original series, and if that's not you, you're unlikely to enjoy this film too much. It's not bad, as a film, but as a one-off it's a bit poor.That being said, this movie was a really nice re-visit to the old gang of Control. Ed Platt's sad passing leaves him sorely missed as the Chief, in this film and the travesty of the Nude Bomb of 1980 (though it's unlikely that even he would have been able to save that one).The story picks up the lives of Maxwell Smart and Mrs Maxwell Smart, and shows that Kaos reigns still, with Siegfried and Shtarker continuing to fill the world with evilness and badness. Control has been disbanded, but the old members are needed to take on their mantle of anti-espionage agents once again! Kitted out with new gadgets and old jokes, the fun gets rolling! The jokes are often direct repeats from the series, but for the most part that just doesn't matter.This was a really sweet return to the Get Smart franchise, with the 20 missing years showing on everyone's faces but not hindering anything at all; Don Adams still taking the knocks as well as he always did, with his ever-visible stunt-double taking the longs-shots like usual ;) Fans, don't miss this movie! :D

tgibbs279 'The Nude Bomb' might be the worst TV reunion movie ever, and 'Get Smart, Again!' might be the best.'Get Smart, Again!' is genuinely funny, and has a storyline that actually works on its own. The writers, director, and producer of 'Get Smart, Again!' realized they had to create a funny, well-written script before filming ever started -- and they did.Too many reunion movies assume that nostalgia for the old show will be enough to satisfy fans. But it isn't enough. 'Get Smart, Again!' is as well-written as many episodes of the old show. And it was great to see virtually the entire surviving cast -- Adams, Feldon, Bernie Kopell, and the actors who played Larrabee and Agent 13. Plus, the choice of Harold Gould to play the villain was inspired, since he'd played a villain in an episode of the original show.Excellent made-for-TV movie -- as I say, maybe the best TV reunion ever.

skallisjr For those who saw the original series, this one's pretty good. The menace in the film, KAOS getting their hands on a weather control machine, is typical of the television show. Even to how they demonstrate that they have it.The film has Maxwell a bit more smart than he was in the show, but just marginally. Some of the old gags have new twists, like the phone booth for access to Control Headquarters. Some of the newer gags are similar to the worst of the gags on the TV series.There was an in-joke or two, including the bad guys treating their agents like baseball players, but the writing was, IMHO, a little strained.Nevertheless, for the most part, the film captures a lot of the spirit of the old show. It's primarily for those who enjoyed the old series, but compared to some of the current television comedies, it still stands out.

Jodi Goldfinger This is by far the better of the two movies inspired by the TV series "Get Smart." Max and 99 are together again, fighting Kaos. Although this time without the help of their faithful boss and friend, the Chief (Ed Platt died in 1974 and the movie is dedicated to him). The Smarts have moved from their apartment to a home in the D.C. suburbs and the twins are in college. When Max is recalled to spy duty to stop Kaos's "weather machine", he is allowed to get his old team back together, but is not allowed to tell 99 (because married spies with dependant children cannot go on missions together). Because of his love and respect for her, Max refuses to lie to 99 and covers up. Of course, this causes him his usual problems, topped by an attempt on his life at home. He is saved, of course, by his loving and faithful 99. He then tells her everything and they are off to save the world again. Don Adams and Barbara Feldon fall back into their roles as if twenty years had never passed. Bernie Kopell and King Moody are also great as Seigfried and Starker. If you are a "Get Smart" fan, this movie is a must see.
