This is way a reunion movie should be done! Quick explanation of where everyone has been in the past 20 years and on with a new adventure. The plot is familiar, KAOS has a weather machine to alter the climate with a ransom demand of $250 Billion not to unleash its fury. It falls to Maxwell Smart to be reactivated stop KAOS.All of the gang is back except for Ed Platt as Chief. The gags and jokes that were gems include Smart answering his shoe phone as a pallbearer,the Hall of Hush to thwarting a hit-man with remote controlled file cabinets to Hymie taking every order literally. Few of the gags and jokes fall flat, unlike nearly all comedies now as they reach . Don Adams was still spot on with the catch phrases, one liners and quite amazing with the physical comedy at age 66. Harold Gould does the villain role in his unique style and John de Lancie as Maj. Waterhouse was great. Hymie and Larrabbee were fabulous as if nothing had changed after 20 years. Agent 99 Barbara Feldon didn't miss a beat as the comic foil and looked as lovely as ever, who I had a crush on when the show was first on the air. If you're reading this Barbara, don't have anything to do for a Saturday night and like dating guys 50 years younger, (or would you believe 24 years younger?), go and contact me.The movie has a few minor issues, Kenneth Mars as Commander Drury doesn't pull off the exasperated Chief role as Ed Platt would had done, Bernie Koppell Siegfried's comic timing wasn't as sharp as it could had been and Don Adams looked rather ill in a few scenes. The movie should have had a laugh track and Get Smart music in keeping with the TV series.It's a real shame that this movie isn't remastered to restore the fading of VHS transfer, (Digitally touching up Don Adams, adding the laugh track & music would be a bonus.) This is an underrated gem (far better than the Steve Carrell remake) that stacks up with the best comedy movies.

'The Nude Bomb' might be the worst TV reunion movie ever, and 'Get Smart, Again!' might be the best.'Get Smart, Again!' is genuinely funny, and has a storyline that actually works on its own. The writers, director, and producer of 'Get Smart, Again!' realized they had to create a funny, well-written script before filming ever started -- and they did.Too many reunion movies assume that nostalgia for the old show will be enough to satisfy fans. But it isn't enough. 'Get Smart, Again!' is as well-written as many episodes of the old show. And it was great to see virtually the entire surviving cast -- Adams, Feldon, Bernie Kopell, and the actors who played Larrabee and Agent 13. Plus, the choice of Harold Gould to play the villain was inspired, since he'd played a villain in an episode of the original show.Excellent made-for-TV movie -- as I say, maybe the best TV reunion ever.

I saw The Nude Bomb in 1980, and was highly disappointed. This made-for-TV movie is better. It doesn't totally recapture the goofiness of the original series, but it makes a good effort. All of the crazy characters are back with the exception of The Chief (the actor who played this character passed away in the mid-1970's). There are some scenes in this movie where the characters look as if they haven't missed a step from who they were in the original series. I would suggest skipping The Nude Bomb entirely, and watching this one instead.

It's 1989. Kaos is back in business. Who better to stop them, than Maxwell Smart, Agent 86. It's been 20 Years since Control was in business fighting Kaos. Max has been called back to active duty in this hilarious reunion movie of the hit TV show Get Smart. Max (Don Adams) has reactivated his team from Control, which includes his still beautiful wife Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon). Also returning is Robert Karvalas as Larrabee, Dick Gautier as Hymie, and Dave Ketchum as Agent 13. Kaos plans to take over the world with a weather machine. Bernie Kopell returns as Siegfried with his companion Shtarker (King Moody) as they lead Kaos in their plan. Though a lot of the old jokes are re-used, you will still find this movie funny. It's the series all over again and it shows that Get Smart has not lost its touch after 20 years. It is still as popular as ever. Do not skip this movie. A+++++
