Get Smart, Again!

I saw The Nude Bomb in 1980, and was highly disappointed. This made-for-TV movie is better. It doesn't totally recapture the goofiness of the original series, but it makes a good effort. All of the crazy characters are back with the exception of The Chief (the actor who played this character passed away in the mid-1970's). There are some scenes in this movie where the characters look as if they haven't missed a step from who they were in the original series. I would suggest skipping The Nude Bomb entirely, and watching this one instead.

Get Smart was a remarkable sitcom. Don Adams' humor and charisma charmed me into watching the series from episode one and on through the five seasons. It was one of the first spoof comedies and you can totally see the influence of that show on Airplane, Police Squad, Hot Shots and Scary Movie to name a few. But I almost missed this great send-off having troubles finding it. I found the 1995 revival series first which was a total disaster and I started to feel a bit worried that this movie might not catch up to my expectations but then I finally found Get Smart, Again! and I can say with certainty that I was loving every minute of it. All of the main characters are here (except for the character of Chief played by Edward Platt who passed away) and their chemistry is still there. Sure, the humor is no longer new and at times a bit stale but not less funny that's for sure. The plot is super childish but once you remember what kind of a show it was in the first place you realize you're enjoing the movie anyway. It was great to see the adventures of Max, 99 & Co. once again for the last time. Would you believe I really liked this movie? Well I did. A good and proper ending to the series.

How come that a extremely good series would not have its twenty years later revival. A must for the real fan. I enjoyed it, but somehow it was like seeing a bunch of old clowns, repeating old jokes (well, I guess it was exactly that), but the jokes were not funny anymore.

If you didn't like the series, this is not the movie for you. If you liked the series, as much as I did, this is a must, but don't set too high your expectations, it's a thing for remembering and enjoying.

Nice TV film with the classic roles of the unforgettable and similar plot with a lot of fun .Seldom a hilarious jigsaw has so many amusingly fitting pieces .This is second reunion film following ¨The Nude Bomb¨ from the 60s TV show highlights all the wacky gadgetry , including the shoe phone , but falls to find the show's outlandishness . Splendid and attractive cast delivers a solid comedy , but silly at times , being a really nostalgic reunion , Dom Adams plays in his usual style as botcher, bungler or clumsy agent 86 called back to duty as KAOS is back , this time with a 'weather machine'. Helped of his competent partner Agent , a very faithful assistant well played by Barbara Feldon . Cued by engaging and likeable portrayals from a motley support cast , such as : Dick Gautier as Hymie, Bernie Kopell as Siegfried , King Moody , Harold Gould , Kenneth Mars , John de Lancie , among others . It contains a lively and moving musical score , including the classic leitmotif as well as appropriate and colorful cinematography , though a perfect remasttering being necessary . The picture was professionally directed by Gary Nelson who already made a lot of TV episodes .

It's 1989. Kaos is back in business. Who better to stop them, than Maxwell Smart, Agent 86. It's been 20 Years since Control was in business fighting Kaos. Max has been called back to active duty in this hilarious reunion movie of the hit TV show Get Smart. Max (Don Adams) has reactivated his team from Control, which includes his still beautiful wife Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon). Also returning is Robert Karvalas as Larrabee, Dick Gautier as Hymie, and Dave Ketchum as Agent 13. Kaos plans to take over the world with a weather machine. Bernie Kopell returns as Siegfried with his companion Shtarker (King Moody) as they lead Kaos in their plan. Though a lot of the old jokes are re-used, you will still find this movie funny. It's the series all over again and it shows that Get Smart has not lost its touch after 20 years. It is still as popular as ever. Do not skip this movie. A+++++
