I got the DVD the other day and laughed more the second time I watched it. Not sure I understand why some people say it wasn’t funny. Even if you didnt see the original series, there was enough funny bits to make most people laugh.

Judging by all the responses above, it must have been quite a funny movie.

i thought that the movie was so funny. when i got it on dvd, i watched the original one and then i watched the one that has all the deleted scences in it. that one was so funny. if you want a good laugh watched the deleted scences. i hope that the second one has the same characters/actors.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was a terrific movie. Best of the Bonds, except for the fact that Lazenby was in the lead.

I totally agree with Robert!

I loved the movie, have watched it many times already !
If the movie was going to be the same as the 1960’s series, I probably wouldn’t have bothered. I like it how they used some key things from the series, but added their own humour and techniques.

I’m definantly going to see number 2! Steve and Anna were awsome! great duo!

I could not agree any more with Robert (exept fo adams family).

It is really impossible to make a later series the same as the original – even tv series with the same actors have trouble.

I think it is one of the better tv to big screen adaptations. It did not fall into any of the normal mistakes that tv to movie adaptations make. it reinvented while still keeping the general idea of the series and did not repeat things from the tv series too much.

I don’t get all the negative reaction to this film. That is either you like or you don’t, but it is the people who say it was nothing like the series, well duh! The series was a 1960 sitcom loosely based on a campy series of movies and the bond books that those fims were based on were written by an author in the late 1950s.

I am a big fan of the TV show Get Smart, and I loved this movie as well. I think this movie and The Adams Family Movie are the two best tv big screen adaptations ever done. The directors and actors took the source material and instead of trying to copy it they updated it and added there own style and gave us great feature films. To like the tv show and say the movie was nothing like it is sort of like saying I love apples but apple pie is nothing like it, No it is a bigger more expensive awesome version of the apple.
Example the beverly Hillbillies tried so hard to copy the original that it just looked like a long poorly acted epeisode of the original. So I am glad get smart the movie was not just likt the original.

Not enough jokes? I almost felt there were to many jokes. i found it hilarious but the jokes came so quick and fast i found it hard to concentrate on the story sometimes.

I was a big fan of the old get smart but this was definitely a stronger and more diverse than the series. The series was VERY repetitive.

I found Patrick Warburton and Bill Murry perfect choices for their characters. steve and anne were also good. Smarts character was different but also deeper than the original.

I agree with “entertainmenttodayandbeyond ” that “the components are there for a much better sequel!”

I look forward to number 2

i thought the movie was really good. some of the humor you had to get, and if u aren’t key with dry humor then obviously it wasn’t a god movie for you. i thought the love thing with max and 99 was a major thing in the movie because it leaves viewers wantng to see what happens with them. over all i thought the movie was good. steve and anne did a great job. i LOVE hymie, even though he had a small role i love him as an actor in # 2 there has to be more of him. i will def go see number 2

Saw all of the old original Get Smart episodes and it took me a bit to warm up to the new characters in the Get Smart movie. Purchased the DVD recently and together with the kids/wife have watched it at least 4 times. I am not a movie critic, so my standard is that if I enjoy the same movie multiple times, it is great. Many of the scenes were memorable and the dance with the fat lady was simply superb. The humor is tongue in cheek and I end up savoring it over and over. I hope that there really will be a sequel using the same characters/actors. The tech geeks working for CONTROL were also fantastic. Oh, agent 99 was simply dynamite. A great matchup with agent 86.

I loved Get Smart. Hathaway has to be in the sequel though. She was perfect as 99, i don’t know if there is another actress alive who could have stepped into Barbara Feldon’s shoes.

I hope this series becomes a mega success.
