I might not always welcome remakes of old series but this time I’m actually really looking forward to the Get Smart big screen adaptation. Taking on the role of Maxwell Smart is the perfectly cast Steve Carell. Not only can Carell carry the mannerisms just right but he’s nearly a dead ringer as well. Anne Hathaway as Agent 99 looks very promising. This could be just the right big scale picture to keep her career going after last year’s “Devil Wears Prada.” So what do you think? Ready to see Smart doing a little more shoe phone calls?

Get Smart - Plot:

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 Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). Given little field experience and even less time, Smart-armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm-must thwart the doomsday plans of KAOS head Siegfried (Terance Stamp).
