| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert  It’s funny, exciting, preposterous, great to look at, and made with the same level of technical expertise we’d expect from a new Bond movie itself. And all of that is very nice, but nicer still is the perfect pitch of the casting. | 18 | |
| eye Weekly Adam Nayman It’d be cute enough to say that Get Smart misses its mark by that much, but in truth, Peter Segal’s update of the boomer-beloved television show comes up lame about halfway through its bloated running time. | 13 |  |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers No knockout, but Carell wins on a rock-solid technicality — he's funny. | 13 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Get Smart rides Steve Carell's considerable charm for a few laughs, but in the end is a rather ordinary Summer comedy. | 11 | |
