Get Smart is a 2008 Film adaptation of the '60s TV series of the same name directed by Peter Segal and written by Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember. The film stars Steve Carell as Maxwell Smart, Anne Hathaway as 99, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as fellow operative Agent 23, and Alan Arkin as the Chief.In this version, Max is a brilliant CONTROL analyst who failed the physical exam to be a field agent. After a year of hard work to get in shape, he finally succeeds — but still doesn't get a promotion because he's too valuable in his position. Then, due to a mole in the organization, the secret identities of most of its agents are leaked. This forces the Chief to send agents their enemies won't recognize — the newly-promoted Max as Agent 86 and Agent 99, fresh from a round of drastic cosmetic surgery because her first identity had been compromised. They venture to the Ukraine to find some stolen radioactive materials that have fallen into the hands of their archenemies, KAOS. Hilarity (and Unresolved Sexual Tension) ensues.Critical reaction was mixed, but audiences generally found it to be respectful and entertaining. Mel Brooks even praised Steve Carell's acting.Alongside the film, a direct-to-DVD Spin-Off titled Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd: Out of CONTROL was released, which follows the escapades of Those Two Guys during the events of the film. | |

Even the president is impressed. | |

A fair word of warning: do not ever question or mock the Chief's credentials or CONTROL itself's credentials, or you should pray you don't get a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown in front of your fellow cabinet members. Than again, it's protrayed more as a The Last Straw deal, as it's strongly implied the Vice President is a Jerkass towards the Chief, and the Chief finally had enough. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Get Smart / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The movie gives brief glimpses at the old style cone-of-silence as well as an updated version, Max's car from the original series and of course, the Shoe Phone. The opening montage also shows some of Max's notes, which include mention of The Craw The Claw. His refrigerator has a wanted ad for Mr. Big (Everett Horton) magneted to it. The Running Gag of the Cone of Silence was that it never worked. The first thing it does in the movie? It works... in the sense that everyone's in a cone of silence of their own, and they can't hear each other. When Max is told about the suicide pill he asks "How do I get them to take it?" a direct quote from the series. Unlike the series here he's only making a joke. Agent 13 and his improbable disguises. A lot of the show's myriad of Mad Lib Catch Phrases get to show up. note Although Max's "That's the second biggest X I've ever seen" does not. The robotic spy fly appears and is once again swatted by an agent thinking it's an ordinary fly. | |

Laser Hallway | |
| Get Smart / int_2813c530 | comment |
Laser Hallway: Agent 99 has to navigate a laser web in Ladislas Krstic's house. The lack of a Spy Catsuit in this case is more than made up for by the presence of a slinky silver dress with a nice high split up the side. Then Agent Smart navigates it as well, though with a bit less dignity because the lasers also burn, and he has a rat in his suit. | |

Also, the Bathroom Break-Out scene. The air marshal does not notice Max's troubles with the escape system in the lavatory because he's busy flirting with the flight attendant. They're still flirting when the occupied light goes off a few minutes later, which signals for Agent 99 to enter the lavatory that Max didn't walk out of before, and make her drop, unnoticed by the air marshal. | |

They actually aren't terribly stupid: Shtarker complains once that he'd like to quit, but Siegfried is his brother-in-law, while Dalip fulfills his part of the plan to nuke Los Angeles, but also covertly alerts Max, giving CONTROL enough time to foil the plan. Then he punches Siegfried clean out of their getaway car when he insults Dalip's wife. | |

Affably Evil | |
| Get Smart / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Siegfried in the series was Affably Evil, considering Max a Worthy Opponent and the two being on very good terms, plus Siegfried in general was very hammy and a bit goofy. In the movie, he's... almost generic, with how serious and sinister he is, some viewers being reminded of one-shot villains from the original series rather than Siegfried himself. The closest he gets to being deliberately comedic is some snarky jabs. | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| Get Smart / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: Many characters act rather different from the series to the point of being extremely difficult to recognize: Max in the series was a Cloud Cuckoo Lander who was still (usually) competent enough at his job, a bit socially awkward, and occasionally busted out some snark. In the movie, this is pretty much all reversed - he's a very down-to-earth and intelligent man, but comes off as incompetent due to a lack of field agent experience as well as being a little immature, is a pretty smooth social operator outside of talking to 99, and is a definite Deadpan Snarker, which, considering his actor, we wouldn't expect anything else. 99 in the series was a Nice Girl who highly respected Max, got disappointed with him at worst, and was very willing to be his partner (and had an obvious crush on him ever since the pilot). In the movie, she's a Defrosting Ice Queen who has (understandably) very negative reactions to his incompetence, and seems to retain some annoyance even after they get together and he proves himself. She's also very snarky and irritable, even with other characters. Though, through Character Development she becomes a far nicer and more agreeable individual. The Chief in the series was the Only Sane Man who got quietly annoyed with Max's incompetence at worst. In the movie, he almost seems to have a Hair-Trigger Temper. And is a very sarcastic character. Siegfried in the series was Affably Evil, considering Max a Worthy Opponent and the two being on very good terms, plus Siegfried in general was very hammy and a bit goofy. In the movie, he's... almost generic, with how serious and sinister he is, some viewers being reminded of one-shot villains from the original series rather than Siegfried himself. The closest he gets to being deliberately comedic is some snarky jabs. Larabee in the series was The Ditz, even more than Max. In the movie, he's a Jerk Jock. Hymie in the series was (after his first episode) a pacifistic robot, who fought only when necessary. In the movie, he has a cameo appearance where he insults Larabee and staples a paper to his forehead in retaliation for a bit of Poke the Poodle. | |

Adaptational Intelligence | |
| Get Smart / int_72455542 | comment |
Adaptational Intelligence: In the TV series Get Smart Max was a general-purpose bungling idiot who only succeeds by luck and Agent 99's competence. In the film he's genuinely a clever guy and a great analyst, just inexperienced as he's never been out in the field before the film, plus a little immature. This was apparently done to make a romantic relationship with 99 more believable as modern audience would not accept someone as buffoonish as the original Max being attractive to a woman as capable as 99. Larabee in the original series is even more of a dunce than Max (he has been referred to as "Max's Max"), whereas in the film he's a jerkass but competent agent. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Get Smart / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Max isn't going to be accused of being a genius anytime soon, but the airplane scene was such a lack of common sense that it deserves mention. After being arrested by a federal marshal for making the whole plane think he was a terrorist by trying to scrape gum off his shoe, he is handcuffed with a set of plastic band cuffs. When Max tries to cut them off in the plane's bathroom, he uses a modified Swiss Army Pocket Knife (which has a flamethrower, a harpoon, and a mini dart gun) to try and get out of them. Instead of using any of the knifes or saws or can opener, or even the needle nose pliers to try and break the clip off the cuffs, he uses the harpoon. It doesn't work. And when it finally does, the bolt from the harpoon hits an eject button, dropping him out of the plane at 35,000 feet. The fact that doing this almost kills him almost makes this Too Dumb to Live, and 99 has enough frustration to insist on taking lead once they're on the ground. That said, Agent 99 does make a mistake of her own when she dives after Max without taking the second parachute, which allows a tentatively-identified KAOS assassin to follow them out of the airplane. | |

At Krstic's party, Max deliberately snubs a group of skinny Alpha Bitch socialites and picks a very large woman to be his dance partner. They proceed to steal the show. | |

Logical Fallacies | |
| Get Smart / int_b7f082b6 | comment |
Logical Fallacies: The exchange when Max first encounters Siegfried. It's saved by Siegfried not actually being fooled. As well as the fact that it's a direct quote from the show. And the logic actually being correct if both premises were correct. Which neither is. | |

Modern Major General | |
| Get Smart / int_bb82c453 | comment |
Modern Major General: Max, as he's the best analyst CONTROL has but wants to be a field agent. When he gets promoted due to majority of the agents' identities under compromise due to a mole, he's completely out of his depth, other than when he uses his analyst's skills and intel to mess with KAOS agents. In a contrast from the TV series, however, Max is able to buckle down and be a decent field agent. To his credit, Max's naive personality also makes him a decent human being, who shows compassion and kindness towards anyone from fat ladies ridiculed by anorexic harpies, to the massive KAOS agent who just needs the money to look after his wife. | |

Berserk Button | |
| Get Smart / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: A fair word of warning: do not ever question or mock the Chief's credentials or CONTROL itself's credentials, or you should pray you don't get a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown in front of your fellow cabinet members. Than again, it's protrayed more as a The Last Straw deal, as it's strongly implied the Vice President is a Jerkass towards the Chief, and the Chief finally had enough. Also, never insult The Brute's wife, which Siegfried learns when he insults Dalip's wife one time too many and ends up being punched out of his car hard enough to be knocked over a bridge for his trouble. Agent 99's button, as shown when she's being held hostage and handcuffed to the support handle in Agent 23's car. After he fires at Max, and she kicks his gun out: | |

Nice Guy | |
| Get Smart / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: Max again, who is a kind and agreeable individual who gets along with pretty much everyone. Agent 23, despite being The Ace, is the only agent who doesn't either at first dismiss Max or treat him like dirt. Subverted when 23 is outed as The Mole and stops being anything resembling nice. Agent 99 is, at first, more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold (still a good person, but rather standoffish, blunt and irritable), but thanks to her Character Development and her building a relationship with Max she most definitely becomes a Nice Girl. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Get Smart / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The scene where Max and the Chief crash into a swordfish sign, with the fish nearly spearing the Chief, is a nod to a similar scene in My Fellow Americans. Both films were directed by Peter Segal. 99 and the laser hallway to Entrapment. The taunting and brawling in the Presidential War Room to Dr. Strangelove. The outside of a plane flying in the air is shown. The airline's name is Yarmy Airlines...Don Adams's real name was Donald Yarmy. The parachuting scene borrows heavily from the similar pre-title sequence of Moonraker. Khali is similarly a Jaws expy. | |

Cool Kid-and-Loser Friendship: Max and Agent 23. Agent 23 is one of the top agents of CONTROL and is liked by practically everyone. Max is a simple analyst who is not given nearly as much respect. Despite this, 23 is one of the only agents who doesn't belittle Max and is shown to actively support him. This is later subverted when 23 is revealed to be The Mole. | |

Break Out the Museum Piece: When Max escapes from his cell, he passes a museum display of the old 1960s CONTROL spy gear and quickly proceeds to gear up with it. Subverted with the car, at least, since that runs out of gas after about a few hundred feet and he's forced to try and hitch a ride. | |

Just Keep Driving: The plane/car chase on the highway at the end. Angelinos are very used to seeing a guy dangling from a plane and hanging just three feet off the asphalt, flying between cars. Then a kid looks out his car window and sees him... What makes it better? For one thing, she's busy talking on her cell phone. Also, she manages to turn away at the exact moment that Max passes by her window, meaning she didn't see a thing. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Agent 23 is a paragon of what an agent should be, which is why Max admires him. And yet, he still walks straight into a support pole when Judy, the Sexy Secretary at the front desk, smiles and flirts with him. Also, the Bathroom Break-Out scene. The air marshal does not notice Max's troubles with the escape system in the lavatory because he's busy flirting with the flight attendant. They're still flirting when the occupied light goes off a few minutes later, which signals for Agent 99 to enter the lavatory that Max didn't walk out of before, and make her drop, unnoticed by the air marshal. | |

Ugly Slavic Women: Played with. One group of women at a fancy dress party infiltrated by Max and 99 are your more typical Sensual Slavs (tall, slim blondes), but come off as bitchy (i.e. ugly personality-wise), while Max does the tango with another one who is overweight. Later, at the Moscow bakery serving as a front for KAOS, the female clerk, who is probably mid-50s and not very attractive, briefly gets the hots for Max. | |
