As you watch the beginning credits of this movie, you'll see that this was based off of characters created by Mel Brooks. That's kind of misleading considering Maxwell Smart is the only character from the TV show to appear in the movie. Granted he may have been the Lead character, but the show had a hilarious cast of supporting characters whom probably could have given this movie a chance. I may even be generous saying that. The comedic timing is way off base, you can tell they tried to emulate Mel Brook's style but failed miserably. I wouldn't even recommend this to Die Hard fans of the show. Easily one of the worst TV to Big Screen movies ever made.
... View More"Get Smart" was very big in the 1960's. Spoofing James Bond, and having catchphrases such as "Sorry about that, Chief!", "Missed it by that much!", "Would you Believe..." and most of all, "...And Loving It". Don Adams(1923-2005) made it big playing the bumbling Maxwell Smart(Agent 86). This time, he's out to stop KAOS from launching a "Nude Bomb". Kinda like a smart bomb, only it leaves you buck naked! Smart got some new agents to work with him: Agent 22(Andrea Howard), Agent 34(Sylvia Kristel, "Private Lessons"), Agent 35(Pamela Hensley, before "Matt Houston") and the Chief(Dana Elcar, "MacGyver" and "The Learning Tree") The comedy was nonstop. The shooting and the fight scene are hilarious. The only downside I didn't like is when some of the originals didn't appear. Like Hymie(Dick Gautier), Agent 99(Barbara Feldon) or even Siegfried(Bernie Koppel). Edward Platt(The Original Chief) died in 1974. That's beyond everyone's control. They put it down just because Don Adams was the only original character? Give me a break! The movie was funny, the cast was fine. It deserve some reprise in the theaters. I don't think that die-hard "Get Smart" fans would think this show should go onto the big screen. This movie is for the fans, by the fans, and strictly for the fans. I enjoyed very much! 3 out of 5 stars!
... View MoreYes, this maybe the only positive review of this film. I would agree the plot of the movie lacks depth, but in my opinion compared to the wacked out 60's tv series the movie was actually pretty good. Okay I may be joshing to say this movie a humorous laugh fest, but I do fond memories of the movies. I mean who has not imagined at least once what the world would look like if there were no clothes, especially pre-teen boys. :). The amount of actual nudity in this movie is minimal ( a few glances of mens' butts) but the pereception of nudity was entertaining at the time to me.
... View MoreOkay, I was 11 when I first saw The Nude Bomb -- it was on HBO, I taped it and watched it over and over and over and over again. A huge fan of Get Smart, yes, I was disappointed Don Adams was the only original from the series. But I do remember enjoying the film's opening - a spoof of the Bond-films, with women fawning over Smart as a hokey ballad played over the credits. And of course, Sylvia Kristel ... need I say more.
