-Go to the movies: Sure

-Rating: PG-13

-Buy the DVD: Okay

“Get Smart” had several laugh out loud scenes and lines, most of them from the young, up and coming comedians, Nate Torrence in particular.

Max Smart finally becomes an Agent for a government agency known as CONTROL. Agent Smart teams up with Agent 99 to foil the KAOS organization’s plot to blow up several locations across the U.S. Agent Smart although possesessing many amazing skills, still manages to screw up almost everything.

“Get Smart” was fairly entertaining overall. Do not expect anything amazing, but this Hollywood flick is definitely worth checking out at least on DVD. If you enjoy “The Pink Panther” collection and/or “Mr. Bean” the series and movie, then you probably will like this one! The Clearview Port Washington theater is a quality theater, although the seating in theater 7 was a bit cramped.

3 Stars -

A Fun Family Film.
