Get Smart, Again! (1989)
A great movie that tributes the 1965 - 70 series
Although, this movie wasn't written by the original comic genius Mel Brookes (sic), it still has the sartirical humour that has made "Get Smart" a very well remembered and popular name in TV history. It has all the no-brainers that the original series had, eg: "Would you believe...", etc and I think Don Adams is a great actor that can pull off any comic routine to a tea. Although, with the missing Edward Platt (the Chief 1916 - 1975), the movie is dedicated to his memory which I think is a nice gesture, but it does however make the movie seem like "it's missing something". Ed Platt, in the original series, was like Max's "scape-goat", almost like Laurel and Hardey (the Chief being the serious one and Max being the bumbling idiot).
It's also great to see Barbera Feldon as agent 99 along side Max again, even though she's older, ha ha! All in all, a great little TV movie and a must see if you're a fan of the old "Get Smart" series.
