GET SMART (2008)

Posted by: REY. on: July 1, 2008

As a terror analyst at Control, a spy agency similar to CIA, Maxwell Smart is one of the best. However, his deepest dream is to become the real field agent, just like the inspirational Agent 23 (Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson), the charming mojo at work. Recently, Control Headquarter was attacked and undisclosed information about all its agents has also been compromised by terrorist group K.A.O.S. Have no other choice, Control’s Chief must now send Smart to be an agent partnering with Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) whose identity is still intact. They must find out K.A.O.S plan and stop it.

When an expert agent meets an agent-wannabe, all they care is about who’s leading who and who has better gadgets, until they realize that it wasn’t so bad to work together, especially because Agent Smart is ready to give whatever it takes to prove that he’s worth a true agent.

With Steve Carrel on the spotlight, we can be sure to get many slapstick acts to trigger laughter. I was skeptical that this movie will do good, surprisingly it actually does, not much to keep the claps flowing but it is entertaining. The first quarter was a bit boring though, so be prepared not to give up too easily.

Anyway, the movie posters are total crap. Whoever designed it, has purposefully covered one face in there either with hairs or a tie or a gun. Bah. Is that’s supposed to be funny? I rather think it’s a bad design. Let me just put the one that has full faces in it, that’s the best one so far ^.^

My rating: 3/6
