Well well well some surprises are always sweet. Though viewers in the U.S might be famililar with the T.V series- Get Smart and thus know what the movie's gonna be alike, for us in India thats not really the case.So you generally dont expect too much from a movie like this except hoping that there are enough light moments to keep you going.
Well the result will surprise anybody who watches it. This one is a clear spoof on James Bond but told in a tongue & cheek manner. Maxwell Smart ( Steve Carell is in fine form) is a top notch analyst with CONTROL , a U.S top secret service agency. He is yearning to become a field agent to get into action & even top scores in the written test but The Chief does not want to let him go as he feels he cannot get a better replacement.
In one deadly move KAOS ( the nemesis of CONTROL) gets control over the database of CONTROL and thus the life's of all agents are in trouble. Thats when reluctantly the chief sends Agent 99 ( a spunky Anne Hathaway) along with Max on the mission. How they go about doing their task criss crossing through Russia, back in action in the U.S and all the while sharing a wonderful chemistry is what the rest of the movie is all about.
In a inspired moment of casting, there are good appearances by stars like Dwayne "The Rock"Johnson and Dalip Singh a.ka. The Great Khali. Overall its clean entertainment and worth the money spent in the multiplex.Go for it.
Rating-3.5/5
