The Get Smart Movie Review

After being in development since 1999, Get Smart The Movie is virtually finished production and is scheduled to be released June 20, 2008. The remake will star Steve Carell as Max, Anne Hathaway as 99, and be directed by Peter Segal. Other important cast members are:
Alan Arkin - The Chief
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - Agent 23
Terence Stamp - Siegfried
Ken Davitan - Shtarker
Masi Oka and Nate Torrence play Max's nerdy analyst friends Bruce and Lloyd.
David Koechner - Larabee
Bill Murray - Agent 13
Patrick Washburton - Hymie (cameo)
Terry Crews - Agent 91
The Great Khali will be playing the giant.
Bernie Kopell will be doing a cameo, as will several other interesting people. Dick Gautier, and Dave Ketchum will not be doing cameos and not all of them were even asked. Steve Carell has publicly announced that Barbara Feldon is not doing a cameo, but I'm hearing conflicting reports about that so they may be trying to have it remain a secret. It was not in the preview version I saw. The movie also will be dedicated to Don Adams and Ed Platt, which is a really nice tribute to Ed and his often-overlooked contribution to the series' success. Adding Ed's name to the credits is an incredibly classy move by the producers and should be applauded.
In the all-new action comedy "Get Smart," Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the only other agent whose identity has not been compromised: the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). As Smart and 99 get closer to unraveling KAOS' master plan — and each other — they discover that key KAOS operative Siegfried (Terence Stamp) and his sidekick Shtarker (Kenneth Davitian) are scheming to cash in with their network of terror. Given little field experience and even less time, Smart — armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm — must defeat KAOS if he is to save the day. Inspired by the classic television series, the film also stars Masi Oka (TV's "Heroes") and Nate Torrence (TV's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip") as Control's crackerjack analysts Bruce and Lloyd; David Koechner ("Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy") as Agent Larabee; and Terry Crews (TV's "Everybody Hates Chris") as Agent 91.
