This is a terrific comedy romp, with The Office star Steve Carell as CONTROL analyst Maxwell Smart, who is hoping to become a full agent, but the Chief (veteran actor Alan Arkin, Little Miss Sunshine) feels he needs Max in a more analytical capacity. Agent 23 (former WWE star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Walking Tall, Be Cool), Max's best friend and idol, is the main guy in CONTROL, and has a partner, Agent 99 (whom Max meets on the street), portrayed by Anne Hathaway (The Princess Diaries) who is partnered up with Max after CONTROL Headquarters is attacked by their arch-enemy KAOS, headed up by Siegfried (Terence Stamp, Superman II, Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace) who has a large thug working for him named Dalip (WWE star The Great Khali). The President is portrayed by James Caan (Rollerball, The Godfather, Elf) and an uncredited cameo by Bill Murray (Ghostbusters, Scrooged, Groundhog Day) as Agent 13. This is an absolute laugh riot, and one I highly recommend. 4 3/4 out of 5 stars.
