This is a film adaptation of a 1960's television show that aired on NBC-TV. Maxwell Smart is a office analyst for the secret government  agency known as Control trying to stop Chaos from destroying the world. Once Control becomes infiltrated, Chaos gains access to all of  Control's secret field agents. In desperation Max is promoted to his long awaited goal of becoming a field agent. He teams up with a returning agent, 99, to try and learn Chaos' current plans for destroying the world.


Director Peter Segal is highly known, as a director, for his heartfelt comedies. It clearly comes through in this film. No matter how many times I watch this film it makes me laugh. It has several unexpected humorous moments that fit in well with the plot line. However, this means that several of the jokes are somewhat predictable. Even if it becomes a moment of-did they go there? Some audience's might not enjoy this type of comedy, but that's the same with any style of comedy. It gets a little over the top at times for some people, but that's why I enjoyed it. Steve Carell plays the role of Maxwell Smart. His take on the humorous moments makes it all the more funny. He grins at his own downfalls-which makes him an enjoyment to watch. Anne Hathaway takes on the role of agent 99. In 2008 she was really turning away from princess films, and showing that she can act in all types of roles. This role showed that she could perform comedy as easily as drama. She doesn't come off as a bitch-as some actress' would've done in this role; instead she comes off as strong and sensitive. Dwayne Johnson did a great job portraying the role of agent 23. He uses his usual bad-ass character persona and turns it into humour. Terrence Stamp (Siegfried), and David S. Lee (Krstic) are the two major villains in this film. I enjoy watching their take on villainy.

 I give this film a 10 out of 10 stars! This is a great comedy that'll keep you laughing every time you watch it. This film might have some adult jokes that might inappropriate for young children, but it's great for teenagers.
