What to Know

Critics Consensus

Get Smart rides Steve Carell's considerable charm for a few laughs, but ultimately proves to be a rather ordinary action comedy.

Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times 10/18/2008
1.5/5
As a reworking of one of the great 1960s TV comedies, you'd think being funny would be its main goal. But you would be wrong. Very, very wrong. Go to Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro Newspaper (UK) 08/22/2008
2/5
An uninspired comedy that runs the full gamut from characters being punched in the groin/face to being shot in the face/groin, until everything culminates in an expensively pointless action finale. Go to Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) 08/22/2008
2/5
We sit back and wait for the laughs. Which come pretty slow and infrequent, though Carell does his straight-faced best to act out the A-Z of Hilarious. Go to Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Dec 29
6/10
The film manages to stand apart from the masses of remakes and recycled versions by striking a balance between homage and modernization. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 02/07/2022
Like a younger, more rigorous version of Leslie Nielsen in his Naked Gun prime, Carell demonstrated here why he had, at the time, a reputation as the funniest man in America. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/28/2020

Admirably mimics the blend of genres and innovations that made the original series so memorable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
