Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

Yes, it's true; Don Adams's Maxwell Smart act is little more than shtick, but marvelous shtick it is, and on Get Smart! with its half-hour doses of high-tech hooliganism, straight Bond parody, and uproarious slapstick, he made his mark as one of the more memorable comic figures of 1960s television. You wouldn't necessarily bet that Adams's trademark moves--deadpan mock-seriousness, smart-alecky catchphrases, and elastic faces--would translate well to the big screen; truth is, though, he's no more irritating than Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, or any of the other comic leads of the early 1980s. In The Nude Bomb, the first (and only) Maxwell Smart movie, our secret agent 86 battles a mad KAOS scientist who possesses a fiendish weapon: one which will destroy the world's supply of clothing. Joined by several attractive compatriots (not, alas, Barbara Feldon, whose ultra-hip Agent 99--the crucial foil for the hyperactive Smart--is sorely missed), the hapless spy has 48 hours to confound the evil plot. Several hilarious premises, including a plan to render the weapon ineffective by wearing food, are adeptly exploited through winning and well-timed sight gags. Recommended not only to fans of Get Smart! but to those who appreciate high-spirited '80s comedy as well. --Miles Bethany

I misssed rating it a 1 by ___ this much (2004-05-24)

Oh what a horrible movie. Soem parts where funny, some where recycled jokes from the TV series, but this movie of the return of Maxwell Smart was badly concepted. For starters, I think the worst thing was that Max's wife 99 is not in this movie at all! And it is not in the agent 86 charactor to play a James Bond type of Charactor, flirting with every woman, beeing every womans dream, and having a completly new love interest "get the girl at the end" type of thing going on. It is very painfull to watch that when you love the TV series and love that Max and 99 are unsepreable, and then this movie blew that up.

So Kaos is back, the bad guy is a guy with a stocking over his head, he has a bomb that destroys clothing... I dont give it a total 0 or 1 vote, there are a few chuckles here and there... I mostly rate it down because of the sexual inuendo thing goin on and ignorning that Barbra Feldon was Max's wife. If this movie was portrayed as a prequal to the TV series, it couldve worked for me... but it just didnt feel like Max, it was more a James Bond adventure!

I know many of you are unpatiently awaiting the release of the TV series on DVD, but till then, I recomend the movie that was made after this one called "Get Smart Again" which Barbra feldon returns as 99 and as Max's long time wife.... which is what you have to have to make Get Smart work.

This is a movie you might , well... not buy, not even rent, just forget about it, and if its ever on TV, and theres nothing better to do? then give it a glance..... but fans of the TV series will understand what I mean when I say it just dosent work without 99!

Painful (2004-05-20)

This film was not funny. It was not campy. It was just bad. Stay far away from it.

Where'd she go????? (2002-02-20)

...I absolutly love Get Smart, but please stick to Get Smart Again!(1989 film). At least that one has 99(Barbara Feldon) in it. After reading all the other reviews you can probably tell what the story is about. Kaos creates a device that makes clothes go bye-bye. Maxwell Smart(Don Adams) stops it. There it is in a nutshell. Now I've told you the story (if you call it a story), so I've saved you the misery of seeing this movie. I warned ya...

Not Quite Smart (2001-10-26)

Do yourself a favor. If you are familiar with the 1960's spy spoof "Get Smart", keep your happy memories of that show intact and skip this movie. Some of the same creative minds that were behind that show were involved with this movie, but not many of them. The catchphrases are still here, but the effort is hollow. Agent 99 is not in this one, nor is she mentioned at all. Max is shown as a playboy who grins at his new female sidekick. Most of the jokes you can see coming from miles away, and when they arrive, they're still not funny.

Unfunny Film. (2001-09-14)

Regretfully Don Adam's skills as a comedian and as Maxwell Smart only add non-existent humor to an otherwise pretty dumb film. A forgetable film that is best forgotten.
