Get Smart, Again! (1989 TV Movie)
8/10
Almost missed it by that much
21 January 2019
Get Smart was a remarkable sitcom. Don Adams' humor and charisma charmed me into watching the series from episode one and on through the five seasons. It was one of the first spoof comedies and you can totally see the influence of that show on Airplane, Police Squad, Hot Shots and Scary Movie to name a few. But I almost missed this great send-off having troubles finding it. I found the 1995 revival series first which was a total disaster and I started to feel a bit worried that this movie might not catch up to my expectations but then I finally found Get Smart, Again! and I can say with certainty that I was loving every minute of it. All of the main characters are here (except for the character of Chief played by Edward Platt who passed away) and their chemistry is still there. Sure, the humor is no longer new and at times a bit stale but not less funny that's for sure. The plot is super childish but once you remember what kind of a show it was in the first place you realize you're enjoing the movie anyway. It was great to see the adventures of Max, 99 & Co. once again for the last time. Would you believe I really liked this movie? Well I did. A good and proper ending to the series.
