Hubby Ter took me to watched MOvie last Sat at Causeway Point.
The movie is abt Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell), an analyst employed by CONTROL, has always hoped to be promoted to a Field Operative. He is great at his desk job, but not very good in the field. Many laugh at his ambitions due to him being quite awkward, clumsy, and not very bright. Despite scoring extremely well on the Field Operative test, the Chief of CONTROL (Alan Arkin) decides not to promote him because he's such a good analyst, and the Chief would like him to remain as such. Meanwhile, Agent 23 (Dwayne Johnson) returns to CONTROL headquarters from a mission. He is the top agent in CONTROL and is also a good buddy of Max. Max walks out of H.Q. disappointed that he has not been promoted, and accidentally bumps into a lady jogging. He returns to H.Q. only to discover that enemy agents, sent by KAOS operative Siegfried (Terence Stamp), have penetrated CONTROL and have wreaked havoc on its interior. He finds the lady that he had bumped into was actually Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway), who has returned after extensive plastic surgery. After learning that unknown assailants are coming their way, Max creates an awkward diversion, then clubs the Chief with a fire extinguisher while mistaking him for an enemy agent. The perpetrators have stolen CONTROL's Agent files, thus uncovering many of the field agent secret identities around the world and assassinating them.
Because of the unprecedented loss of agents, the Chief promotes Max to Field Operative and partners him with as-yet-unrecognizable Agent 99. They are to go undercover to find out who has been supplying nuclear weapons to KAOS, CONTROL's nemesis. Max and 99 travel to Russia to take down the arms dealer who's in charge, and learn that a local Moscow bakery is actually a front for a nuclear weapons factory. Max goes in undercover to try and buy nuclear weapons from Siegfried. Siegfried, however, is well aware that Max is from CONTROL and that 99 is hiding in the air vents. Siegfried orders his number two man and brother-in-law, Schtarker (Ken Davitian), to kill Max, but Max easily incapacitates Schtarker and then proceeds to place charges around the factory to bury the warheads under the rubble and prevent KAOS from selling them. While trying to escape, Max and 99 run into Siegfried's giant bodyguard Dalip. After unsuccessfully trying to match with him physically, Max uses his knowledge of KAOS operatives to try and reason with him, which he does successfully. Afterward, the three escape the building which finally explodes. The Chief sends Agent 23 to overlook the clean-up of the factory, but 23 does not find evidence of nuclear weapons. Max is suspected of lying to CONTROL and being a double agent and is detained in a holding cell.
Meanwhile Siegfried makes a threat to blow up Los Angeles; and the Chief, Agent 99 and Agent 23 go to Los Angeles to persuade the President of the United States (James Caan) to do something about it as the Vice President ignores the threat. KAOS decides that since the Vice President does not believe KAOS's threat of nuclear terrorism, they will rig a nuclear bomb at a symphony concert to kill the President. Max escapes from the cell, after being given a coded message about an attack from Dalip via commercial radio broadcast, and locates the Chief to tell him of the bomb. The Chief trusts that Max is not a double agent and they set out to find the bomb in order to save the President and thousands of people there. The Secret Service claims that there is no bomb as they have checked the area before the President arrived. Max and the Chief try to figure out how to get into the concert when Agent 23 suggests that there is no bomb. This causes Max to suspect that Agent 23 has been a double agent all along. His suspicions are confirmed when his watch detects radioactivity coming from Agent 23.
Agent 23 finds out that his cover is blown and takes Agent 99 hostage before getting the briefcase that holds the remote detonator to the bomb. After an action packed chase, with Max almost killed and Agent 23 dead, the Chief, Agent 99 and Max figure out that the bomb is going to explode at the exact moment the piece "Ode to Joy" hits the last note. They make a mad dash to the concert hall, and Max pushes the conductor to the floor just before the musicians play the final note. The orchestra is cut to silence, and the audience applaud Max, the Chief, and the conductor for a marvelous performance.
As for Siegfried, he, Dalip and Schtarker escape in the car. Siegfried takes back attempting to kill Dalip's "lovely" wife. The next thing he knows, he's knocked out of his car, off the bridge the car was driving by, into deep water.
The movie ends as Max and Agent 99 take the phone booth exit. when the various doors open to let them out one of the doors does not close. Agent 99 insists to Max that they are going to be late going somewhere (as they are now dating), Max tries to fix the door, but instead it slams on him, also causing his knife to shoot an arrow in his cheek, the movie then ends.
The movie is reali a relaxed movie where it mould make u laugh from head to tail.
Would give 5 out of 5 stars for this movie.
