Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Robert W. Get Smart was never a "great" show. I mean the whole idea was the campy, tongue in cheek humor, the delicious wit of Don Adams, spoofing the entire spy action James Bond Genre. I remember the original series in reruns as a kid and it was one of the TV greats!! You would never think that they could bring a cast together nearly thirty years later and still pull it off and yet that is precisely what they do!! The movie isn't good...I mean it's B Movie elongated TV Episode quality with the same quirks and tongue in cheek humor with some digs at politics and other things in a light and cheery way. The villains are really bumbling nice guys and Don Adams slips right back into the Maxwell Smart character and looks great!! True fans of the original series will find Edward Platt's Chief sadly lacking as a big part of the series was the incredible comedic timing and relationship between Max and the Chief. Still Max and 99 are in full force with some new characters and some old ones as well. It was a great film to watch before seeing the new Get Smart movie to refresh my memory to the old series. The best part about it hands down is what an amazing job the cast and film makers did bringing the series to life again.Don Adams truly is Maxwell Smart. I think he is more of his character so it is effortless for him. He's strong on screen, funny in a very campy way and pulls it off every time. He made the series, and the film and everything else he did worthwhile just by being himself. Barbara Feldon also returns to her role as Agent 99. I must say that I thought her role was toned down a lot in this film. Her and Max still have their chemistry and she's still soft and sweet and smart but tough on the inside. I thought her and Max would spend more time teamed up in a reunion but she doesn't have that big of a role. Her and Adams have terrific chemistry even after all these years. Bernie Kopell also returns as #1 Kaos agent Conrad Siegfried and a rather silly second role as Siegfriend's twin brother. Kopell is still terrific and campy with his crazy accent (ironically he is very well known as an actor for being able to do accents.) Kopell and Adams share a distinctive talent for physical comedy and quick wit and they work great together. Richard Gautier returns in one of my favorite Get Smart roles as robot Hymie. His dry humor and the entire gag of taking things literally never gets old as bad as it is and him and Adams are also terrific together. Robert Karvelas also returns although in a small role as Larrabee. And finally David Ketchum appears as Agent 13 in his usual crazy hiding spots.If you have never seen Get Smart the series or weren't a fan I promise that you will quite likely hate this TV rendition because it truly is for the fans. I mean it covers literally everything from the series including the many running gags as well "Missed it by that much" "Would you believe..." and so on. The special effects are mostly non existent using a floor level budget which the original series probably ran off about the same twenty years before this. Director Gary Nelson worked on the original series and I really do think that made all the difference because I just can't express how impressed I was with how much this brought me back to watching those original episodes. I score it as low as I am simply because it's very low budget, campy and not exactly top notch viewing but fans will love it and if you need a little trip down memory lane you'll want to see this one for sure as it is a great honor to the ground breaking memorable series. 6/10

MartinHafer With most TV series, it is just better never to look back. Again and again and again, TV movie reunion shows based on beloved TV series are in the end moribund messes that rarely reunite the cast, since so many of them are dead!! The worst of these awful TV movies that I have seen would have The Beverly Hillbillies (where almost all the cast was dead), Leave It To Beaver (where Ward was dead so June just talked to his tombstone) and Andy Griffith (where Otis was no longer a drunk and Barney was too pathetic to talk about further). While not AS bad as these movies, this GET SMART reunion movie isn't a whole lot better. At least it does have most of the original cast, though Ed Platt (the Chief) was too dead to appear--even with the assistance of Disney Animatronics or by way of a pact with Satan. Dick Gautier (Hymie), Barbara Feldon (99), Bernie Koppel (Ziegfried) and several other familiar faces from the original program do make appearances. The only problem is that although they did an impressive job as far as the cast goes, they gave them a terribly unfunny and uninvolving script. In the end, it's a time passer at best, and an insult to fans at worst.

anne1985 Although, this movie wasn't written by the original comic genius Mel Brookes (sic), it still has the sartirical humour that has made "Get Smart" a very well remembered and popular name in TV history. It has all the no-brainers that the original series had, eg: "Would you believe...", etc and I think Don Adams is a great actor that can pull off any comic routine to a tea. Although, with the missing Edward Platt (the Chief 1916 - 1975), the movie is dedicated to his memory which I think is a nice gesture, but it does however make the movie seem like "it's missing something". Ed Platt, in the original series, was like Max's "scape-goat", almost like Laurel and Hardey (the Chief being the serious one and Max being the bumbling idiot).It's also great to see Barbera Feldon as agent 99 along side Max again, even though she's older, ha ha! All in all, a great little TV movie and a must see if you're a fan of the old "Get Smart" series.

uds3 Goes a long way in making up for the abysmal THE NUDE BOMB nine years earlier. Dedicated to the memory of Ed Platt who died in 1974, Max is reunited with "99" and all the old favorites, Siegfried and Agent 13 as he takes on the awesome task of putting the Chaos "weather machine" out of action.With wife "99" gone domestic and the twins in college, Max tries to handle his assignment without 99's knowledge as "working mothers" are not allowed to spy. Predictably, the wheels fall off for Max, and it is left to "99" to save the day, after which she joins him in his assignment.The old magic is still there and both Adams and Feldon reprise their roles effortlessly. Ed Platt as chief is sorely missed, but wherever he is now, watching this would have brought a smile to his face.
