RateItAll: The Opinion Network

The movie was great. I saw it with my two boys ages 8 and 14. We all thought it was fantastic. They rated it right up there with IRONMAN. I can't wait to buy the DVD.

Already my husband and I have referenced funny moments today, after laughing out loud last night at Steve Carell. The theatre crowd was roaring with laughter, and bust out in applause at the dance off scene. Destined to be a classic. Hope it comes out on DVD for Christmas gifts, this ones a must for my Dad.

Best comedy I've seen in decades! Awesome! Almost passed out laughing!

Did these negative reviewers really see the same movie that I did?
6 of us went to see "Get Smart" and we laughed like mad. It is funny, engaging and light. It is not a redo of the TV series, but a fresh look at Maxwell Smart(Steve Carell)and his life as a special agent. Masi Oka and Nate Torrence(Bruce & Steve) are the invention nerds bordering on the Cheshire cat!
Alsn Arkin is refreshing, nutty, and no matter how old your are, his stunts, show an older person as outrageous, flexible and someone we really like.
The mean,bad guys( especially Terrence Stamp, Ken Davitian)are really nuts and we get to know them! Worth seeing over and over again when you really see the many special touches in the film.
Enjoy this fast moving,PG-13 comedy of the summer!

Never missed it. Loved Agent 99 and the shoe phone. For a while, I thought everyone was a spy and their shoes were phones.

in its day, it wa the coolest of the cool spy shows, even though it wa a out right spoof on the whole 007 gengre of films. as a kid I took much of it serious! in reruns it is still extrely funny, none other but the two main actors could ever play those parts, remakes are terrrible. they had a great chemistry, much like the avengers.

a 3.5. could be funny. my dad loved this and would laugh all the time. I guess i found it funny too. Maxwell Smart was not so smart but could be funny especially when he messed up. had some good moments. neat contraptions like the shoe phone, wonder if they ever knew it sort of had a future,sans the shoe.

This was a classic! My favorite line was when 99 asked Max, "Why does Control exist?" Max replied "To fight Kaos." She then asked, "Then why does Kaos exist?" Max said "To fight Control." Two inept organizations that couldn't live without each other...ya' gotta love it!

A prescient preview of the current state of affairs vis a vie US intelligence organizations, unfortunately. The only difference is that in the real world, there is no "intelligent, competent partner".

Five stars early on, tapering eventually to about three and one-half. Best watched one show at a time. Tape the marathons to watch later. If you own the DVD set(s) take it slow. You'll enjoy them more and they'll last longer.

middle school slapstick. good for what it was.

No matter how many times I look at the photo I keep in my office of the Chief and Max trying to use the port-a-cone, I laugh.
This is the portable version of the cone of silence that looks like one of those plexiglass hamster habitats. Max has one sphere over his head and the Chief has the other sphere over his head and there is a clear cylindrical tube between them.

This show was so inventive and funny and clever and dumb at the same time. My wife bought the DVD set for me late last year and it turned my kids into big fans too. It looks and feels so dated now, but it's a classic that in many ways bridges a generation.

Horrible, annoying, unfunny.

Don Adams is high in the running for worst comic actor all-time career division.

For a farce comedy, "Get Smart" was relatively successful and gets a few bonus stars as a result. The imprint of screenwriter Mel Brooks is clearly felt, as he takes his stab at the spy genre. (Brooks is said to invariably put Nazis in each of his productions, but I don't recall any in this series.) I would also add that since the common phrases and gadgets of Agent 86 (Don Adams) (e.g. "missed it by that much" and his shoe phone) have become popular icons, the show has had some lasting effect (though I don't recall Adams appearing in anything else except the voiceover for Inspector Gadget.) Another positive from my perspective was that Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon) was attractive but wasn't overly pretty, which added some reality to the surreal storylines. I always liked the cone of silence, even suggesting the other day that some co-workers get one of these gadgets. The bottom line is a rounding up to four stars for a series that could have easily run out of steam after two seasons.

I watched this sometimes. Funny show.

The show was before I was born but some times I watch TVland I like how Maxwell would talk to the shoe like a phone (thank the God for cell phones!) and 99 it was cool that a girl was named after a number and her name was never reveled which was cool too.

Watching reruns now, I think it's funnier now than then.

Today,Maxwell Smart would be working for Homeland Security.

Great show.

This was a goofy spoof of spy shows starring Don Adams. It had lots of laughs.

miss me by that much-mel brooks, writer-agent 99-cone of silence-shoe phone-great fun

Just great! Witty, funny, ahead of its time. Barbara Feldon always had the most chic hairdo and clothes. Very underrated show.

I ablsolutely loved this show! All of the gadgets were great, each actor fit his role, Mel Brooks and Buck Henry are to be commended, I could go on and on. Would you believe the best comedy show ever? How about one of the best?

This show was hilarious. I loved it.

Still-at least a draw as the funniest show,ever.

Fabulous comedy. Before my time of course but the reruns I've seen always have me laughing. I wish I had more of the episodes on tape. Get Smart has great entertainment value even after so many years. The characters all had their quirks and were very likeable.

A classic slapstick show. Get Smart has some hilarious gags and it's great because of the overacting and using every moment possible to get a laugh (nothing obsecene or lewd, thankfully). The episodes with the arch-enemy Siegfried (portrayed by Bernie Kopell) are the best, in my opinion. Axed before its time by NBC and later, CBS.

Some really funny stuff..liked the one where Max tells the Chief he was captured by KAOS and tortured. The Chief says that's terrible what did they do to you?, and Max says they made me listen to Laurance Welk Music! (I can remember my father always watched this show and I hated it).

When I was a kid I remember having insomnia and watching Get Smart at late night on Nick at Nite. It was my favorite show on the network until it got pulled.

Really corny and stupid: about as funny as having root canal done. Anytime a sitcom attempts to capitalize on a popular culture craze, in this instance, James Bondmania, the results are usually crap. Don Adams is a retard who came up with some of the lamest schtick ever. Barbara Feldon is a bore, and the only saving grace of this nonsense was E. Platt as the Chief, who should have been put to better straightman use. This show is one of the few turkeys Mel Brooks and Buck Henry were ever associated with.

"That's the second largest gun silencer I've ever seen."

on a little to long but a great and very funny show.

are you nuts? simply the greatest!

I gave it a six....would you believe I gave it a five. Missed it by that much! I loved this show.

Get Smart is the funniest, most clever & extremely well-produced sitcom of it's time! Small wonder so many stars lined up to do guest shots on this outstanding TV series!

Get Smart was such a great show because it was a mixture of satire,humor and romance. The characters were so lovable too.

Get Smart is just a really great show, much better than The Brady Bunch if you ask me...

Anyone who doesn't love this show needs to have a sense of humor surgically implanted into their brain! Plus, the relationship between Max and 99 was at once sweet and offbeat. The actors were terrific, the scripts were surreal and funny, and it had plenty of action, besides. I'm watching the reruns every day on TV Land...and loving it!

I think Get Smart is the best and funniest show in tv history.It produced more catch phrases the any show on tv except maybe saturday night live and it did it in only 5 years.It won 7 emmys 3 for Don Adams 2 for best comedy 1 for writing and 1 for directing.It is also the only successful satire in tv history.Watch it 8am daily on tvland you will laugh and love it too.Thanks. GOD Bless!

I loved all of it! It's much older than I am, but I have seen many of the reruns and still enjoy them. It was a wonderful show, with lots of laughs, good storylines and great acting. I loved Max (Don Adams) and 99 (Barbara Feldon), as well as the other characters. I did always wonder what 99's real name was though!

I still remember at about age 5 (1969) that I was traumatized by the end credit sequence. That big, heavy door closed right on his NOSE, OUCH! Every week I had to turn away so that I wouldn't see. But even as a young child I knew this show was great, and I've loved it ever since.

I think that Get Smart is and still is the best show that was ever created. Both Don Adams and Barbara Feldon are terrific on screen together. --Laurra, VA

Unique. Often funny.

Get Smart was another show that didn't quit soon enough. By the time it ended, its humour was running thin and the jokes were old -- but, in its prime, it couldn't be beaten. "Would you believe" is still a phrase that makes many of us smile. Are there any comedies running now that will leave anything behind?

Funny spy series! Got a little boring though in the later eps, but I love it!

This wacky spoof of the international super spy films - that were all the rage of the mid-60s - falls in the category of programs I look back on as mildly entertaining. Yet, in spite of the fact that many of the gags were fairly witty and original (i.e., the famous shoe phone) once you realized Max was a dimwit who would proceed to repeat the same kinds of dumb mistakes to the end that is exactly what you began to long for.

This show was terrific. I still watch it whenever it's on. Even after seeing each episode at least 3 times I still manage to laugh. That's what you call comedy.

im am the biggest Get Smart fans and it deservers a 5!

Get Smart was one of the greatest shows in TV history! Would you belive the best show! I think they picked good actors to play the parts of the Chief Max,99 and Siegfried! Actually all of the characters they picked were wise choices! Don Adams(86) and Barbara Feldon(99)really made the show go.

Get Smart is the best show ever! Barbara Feldon, Don Adams and edward Platt (kaos people too) make it a hit !

The show was pretty funny in it's early years, but the original producers left in later years, and then Max and 99 got married, and it got stupid. Don Adams even refused to appear in one show late in the series because the producers took a script from earlier and re-did it, just changing the setting from a beach to Alaska. So it was another show that just ran too long.

it's a great show that always brings me laughs, should visit www.wouldyoubelieve.com if u r a fan or want to know more bout tha show.... recommend it 4 all

even though you know what gonna hapend, you still love it

When Get Smart first premiered it was the most helarious show on TV. I loved watching the TVLand marathon. What wonderful charecters they were I think Siegfried was one of the best charecters of all time!

Get Smart was different, entertaining and hilarious to watch. The spy gadgets were wonderful: the shoe phone, 99's make-up phones, the Cone of Silence, the Invisible Wall in Max's apartment, and many more. The two lead characters were fun and believeable and expertly played by Don Adams and Barbara Feldon, and it was nice to have a unique love story in the show as well. The chief, Hymie the robot and agent 44 who was always in a mailbox or something were all great too. I loved the two extremes of the spy organizations: "Control" and "Chaos", not even cluing in to the meanings of the 2 words when I watched Get Smart as a kid, although I did understand the 2 meanings of Get Smart. I remember the tarantula episode with the "to be continued" at the end of the show. I couldnt wait for the next show!!! I also remember this dialogue: (rusty, so please bear with me-not 100% accurate!) Max to enemy who has caught him: "I have swum across the Pacific Ocean" (enemy disbelieves) "Would you believe the Atlantic Ocean?" (enemy shakes head) "Uh- the English Channel?" (enemy loses patience and starts to get Max) " Would you believe ten laps around my bathtub?" Then all h breaks loose.

I didn't like the show when it first came on, but it got better after they got married. ( I'm a hopeless romantic). 99 was very pretty, and without her the show wouldn't have lasted.

Get Smart is recieving some credit today, maily because it's making a huge comeback. The humor is totally outdated, and extremly goofy. The clothes are funky and outdated. The show's name is extremly goofy and outdated. The show is outdated, but can be considered OK, only because of the comback it's making.

witty, hillarious, Mel Brooks. Wath it!

after years of watching sitcoms new and old.I would like to highly reccomend GET SMART very funny clean and satisfying will leave you with a smile on your face and a craving for more.Cant wait to see this show back for viewing me and my family will be watching.

I liked this show when I was a kid, and I still like it now. I often find older shows really boring, but Get Smart is good, it's interesting and funny. It's the kind of show that anyone can enjoy.

Would you believe...for its time(60's)it was one of the best sitcoms on TV.A little dated now,but it holds up fairly well.

A spoof that ran to long....But in college we'd watch reruns by turning down the sound and each person would take a character and we'd speak the lines. I couldn't remember my periodic tables but I knew everyline of dialog from Max.

An absolute classic, and Ziegfried was one of my all time favorite characters.

One of the greatest series ever produced.

Mel Brooks and Buck Henry combining their talents yielded one of the greatest comedy tv shows of our time. For those who say the jokes were corny and poorly delivered-not only did you miss the point,(by that much) you have poor taste.

My favorite comedy of all time! One of the most hilarious shows I have ever seen. I would love to see it on video!

it is the shizzit

one of the 30 best shows ever made

Inane......ham acting....poor delivery of very weak jokes....on the bandwagon of James Bond and UNCLE....this spoof was poorly written. The actors hammed up the show and it lacked the slickness of the shows it spoofed. Poor mans Naked Gun.
