Get Smart

It was like Zohan but on a larger scale and with a "Save the World" plot. Steve Carrell is Maxwell Smart, an analyst with government agency "Control", his work was impeccable, analyzing to the deepest level you can get. Probably can get his help on how "Bai Ka" Mr Selamat escaped.

But what he really wanted was to be a field agent and he finally got his chance when the identities of all the agents got exposed, he became agent 23. Most of them got killed by "Chaos", the baddie organization. The rock, the white chick black guy, jap guy who bend time in Heroes about made up the so called ... what was left over. Of course, still have the chief himself.

To save the world, A23 was being paired up with A99, the stunning Anne Hathaway. Chaos was secretly building nuclear weapons and selling to "enemies" of the United States, but so called kept the code to detonate these nuke.

They used this to threathen US and demanded $$$$, but since this was a comedy, it didn't work, so the Chaotic Chaos need to show US they really mean it and was not NATO "No action talk only".

On and off, you get quite hilarous moments, mixture of physical comedic action, stoopid lines and typical "Get Smart" laughs, sleek with crap results, crap with unexpected results. The scene where A23 entered a secret base underneath a lake was quite unexpected and funny. The action in this movie was quite good as well. Along the way, A23 and A99 got along better and worked well as a team ... And it developed more as they grew fond of each other.

The Great Khali from WWE fame was one of the Chao henchman but eventually was persuaded by A23 not to kill them, A23 managed to do that with all the intel he got on him, soften him with all the crap talking.

Then A23 was mistaken as a double agent and A99 had no choice but to capture him. But when chief, the rock and A99 went to see the President, A23 escaped and followed suit. And somehow foiled the plot of Chaos to nuke the whole concert hall. A23 saved the day. 7/10
