et Smart is nearly everything you'd hope an adaptation of a 1960s sit-com could be. Based on the cult TV comedy hit of the '60s, "Get Smart " is slick and smooth and ticks along primarily on the excellent chemistry between Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway in the famed Don Adams-Barbara Feldon roles as Agent 86 and his far-more-capable female partner, 99, in the employ of spy agency CONTROL.

Steve Carell steps easily into Don Adams' shoe-phone as the new Maxwell Smart; he has been working for years as an informations analyst for the somewhat underground spy organization CONTROL, who spends his days listening for threats and information in foreign "chatter."
Tired of just being a thinker, he dreams of becoming a full-fledged, active agent, like his friend, Agent 23 (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). When a breach of security compromises the identities of every established CONTROL operative, he gets his chance: KAOS attacks the CONTROL headquarters and there's seemingly no one else to choose.

He teams with Agent 99 - who is not at risk because she recently had plastic surgery to change her appearance - and heads to Russia to retaliate and snuff out the enemy's plans to release nukes worldwide. Somehow, they all end up in L.A. where Stamp plans to blow up the president, played by James Caan.
