Yes, it's that simple. Get Smart Again is just the best TV reunion movie ever made. With most of the original cast, a pitch-perfect script from one of the original writers of the classic television show, and a tone and feel right out of 1968, this movie deserves a place right beside the coming DVDs of the series, which will be out in the fall.



Most TV reunion shows are disasters. The actors look different, fresh blood behind the scenes are all trying to put their stamp on the thing... the result is usually painful to watch if you are a fan of whatever show is being remade.



Not so with this movie. Every, and I do mean EVERY, aspect of the timeless series is recreated here. After the dismal Nude Bomb, they got it right. Max and 99 have the same chemistry. There are a plethora of the same bad (meaning laugh out loud funny) jokes. And for the show which took the term catchphrase to unparalleled heights, they manage to weave ALL of them into this movie. And, if you are not familiar with the show, Get Smart had too many oft-repeated catchphrases to list here.



This is a great movie.



My only knock is the terrible picture quality. Hopefully this will be remedied with the original series FINALLY coming out on DVD. I hope so. It is a gem of a movie. Really a "lost" episode of the series. It's a shame they couldn't have made more of these.



A must-have for any long-time fan of Get Smart. And for you new fans, fresh from the excellent DVD release -- and there will be a LOT of you, believe me -- you'll want to add this film to your collection. No Get Smart collection will be complete without it.



"Would you believe you'll love the series and this movie?"

"You'll believe it."



Rest in peace Don Adams. Us long-time and new fans will be watching you face danger at every turn... AND LOVING IT!!
