, Time Out
'From a character conceived by Mel Brooks', reads the blurb, and there are various nods to his style of humour throughout this bitty spoof. But the rest relies more on technology than style, and on mediocre effects that can't carry the plot.

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
I sort of enjoyed it, but it's thoroughly bankrupt filmmaking.

Clint Morris, Moviehole
It ain't get "Get Smart", but it's great to see Adams back with the shoephone!
-
Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-in.com
Mildly amusing early on when it sticks to puns and one-liners, but falls apart quickly as it degenerates into a series of dumb comic action sequences. Easier to sit through when I was 8.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide
This feeble attempt to revive the characters from the popular TV series Get Smart copies the show, but without the sharp humor that made it so popular.
