Movie Reviews Review: Get Smart By Brian Orndorf, Senior Reviewer "Missed it by that much!" is the classic line from the "Get Smart" ( IMDb listing ) television series and could easily describe the latest big screen incarnation. A woefully uneven motion picture, "Smart" is a misfire, but not entirely ineffective.

Anne Hathaway plays Smart’s partner, Agent 99, whose “real name” is never revealed. Carell and Hathaway prove to be an excellent team.
