I love this movie, but there is lots of sexual behavior, for example 99 is shown with not much on. Lots of language. And many, many jokes about overweight people, but if you're the right age, it's awesome!

What Parents Need to Know
About Get Smart
Parents need to know that kids are more likely to want to see this broad spy comedy because of stars Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson than because it's based on the classic TV show (though that might be a draw for some parents). The movie version is a bit edgier than the series -- it's got some swearing (including "bitch" and a couple of "s--t"s) and a good bit of action -- but it's by no means for adults only. The physical humor will definitely appeal to kids, though because of the frequent use of guns and other weapons by both the good and bad guys -- sometimes with relish -- the movie is most appropriate for older tweens and up. Expect a few cheap-shot jokes made at the expense of the overweight and some political barbs, though the latter will likely go over the head of younger viewers.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why so many TV shows get made into movies. What do you think the appeal is for filmmakers? For studios? Does nostalgia translate into big audiences (and big profits)? Why do some succeed and others fail? What shows would you like to see turned into movies? Why? Families can also discuss Max. Why does he want to be an agent so badly? What motivates him? What about his idea that our enemies are real people, too? Can you think of any other movie spies who have that perspective?

Hilarious movie!
This movie is so funny! We watched it a few weeks ago and I didn't notice anything particularly innapropriate. There's a really funny part where Max dances with a fat lady- I laughed sooo hard we had to pause the movie for me to go to the bathroom. Plus we couldn't hear the movie over my laughter!!!

Funny for anyone over 13/14
Thought it was the most hilarious movie I had seen ever. Unfortunately there is way to much sexual comments, language, and further inappropriateness. Not for anyone under 13 and only good for mature 13-14 year olds.

One of the funniest movies I've seen this year!!!
Steve Carell, Alan Arkin, Dwayne " The Rock" Johnson,and many more star in one of the funniest movies I've seen this year. This movie has a lot of action Some of the action is funny,but most of it looks real. There is some language that includes mild insults,but most of the language has bad words. I think that Get Smart is appropriate for kids ages 11+. I also gave this movie a B+. I thought this movie was hilarious, and action - packed at the same time.

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie was great! I can watch it over and over again, and still laugh out loud! There was A BIT of crude humor and some language, but other than that is was perfectly fine!! Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, and Dwayne Johnson were hilarious as usual! It was really funny all the time, and I didn't find myself bored either. I would give this movie an A+!!!

Ok comedy
This was funny at times but I found It rather boring to tell you the truth. There is language just to let everyone know and it is some what strong. Ok movie but not great.

Best comedy I've ever seen~
I've seen this movie maybe four times now, and it still makes me laugh really hard. There aren't really any "slow" parts where it's boring; I was laughing almost constantly. It's not really sick humor either, most of it's pretty clean if you ask me. :)

Haha!
I thought this movie was very hilarious. I actually saw it twice in theatres, once with my friends and once with my family. Both times I saw it, I just laughed and laughed. I feel that some kids around age 11 and under wouldn't get the jokes. But it is a great movie if you are looking for a laugh.

Not good for kids

Okay
A lot of the jokes don't work, but others do very well. Not a bad movie, but there are plenty of better choices.
