Get Smart is really a funny film that you should not miss. Even those unfamiliar with the TV show the movie is adapted from would enjoy it. Steve Carell made me laugh scene after scene after scene. He doesn’t need to exaggerate to be funny unlike some bigtime Hollywood comedians.
Movies can teach us a thing or two. Well Get Smart teaches us that not all spies had to be like James Bond. Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) might not look like the typical Hollywood spy but he sure got the job done. Well, here are the three things Maxwell did that made him a smart and funny Field Agent.
Pass the Field Agent Test
Max failed the test a couple of times but that didn’t stop him from becoming one. He learned to accept his weaknesses and improved on it.
Maxwell Smart: I recently lost 150 pounds.
Max’s Dance Partner: Me too!
Flirt with your beautiful partner
James Bond has his Bond girls. Well Maxwell Smart only needs one, Agent 99. He might not have the looks but he used his wit and humor to get the girl.
Agent 99: Are you staring at my butt?
Maxwell Smart: No, no, I…I was, but I’m not…I’m staring again.
Find the Double Agent
Maxwell made a smart but lucky guess in the end and figured out who the bad guy was. Yup, he must have smelled what the Rock was cooking!
Maxwell Smart: Woah, that’s a bad guy, that’s a really bad guy! Did you see his face? His head looks like one of the Easter Island heads!
