Best movie ever!

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

To all the original Get Smart fans, GET OVER IT! The Nude Bomb was a fun, funny movie.One of the things you have to remember is that this was 1980. You can tell as soon as the opening credits rolled that this movie was a James Bond spoof. And not just any James Bond movie, the "Roger Moore" James Bond movies. Considered by some the worst James Bond run of the collective series, the Roger Moore James Bond films had many of the same bad elements: A weirdly dressed, over-the-top villain, bent on destroying the world in the stupidest way possible, ugly sets, campy music, annoying costumes, and super-hot women. The Nude Bomb followed in these footsteps greatly and the result is a very funny spy movie that actually works even on a childish level.Seriously, be honest! How many of us wanted a Deskmobile? I know I did!Don Adams was pure comic genius and I'm sorry that this movie did not have any of the familiar faces from the old series, but as most Hollywood remakes go, the hope for a sequel lies with a fresher, younger, cheaper cast of "who's-hot-right-now" wins over every time. I'm just glad Don got to reprise his role instead of the "who-was-hot-in-1980" actor.

When I was a kid, I was addicted to the TV show GET SMART. Sure, I knew it wasn't the most brilliant or sophisticated show on the tube but it made me laugh. Years later, I've watched a few episodes and found that as I got older they don't seem quite as funny, but they still are charming and worth seeing on occasion. However, the film THE NUDE BOMB as well as the made for TV reunion show were an abomination and all those associated with it should hang their heads in shame! It's true that you can never go back, but this is made even worse by the fact that other than Don Adams, I didn't recognize ANYONE in the film from the original series. Plus, porn star Silvia Kristel is there instead of Barbara Feldon--that's just WRONG! If all this isn't bad enough, the plot is way too stupid to base a movie upon. The bad guys have a bomb that makes everyone's clothes disappear! Hey, maybe THAT'S why they had Ms. Kristel in the movie!

Being a fan of the "Get Smart" TV show since I was a teen, I actively sought out this movie at the rental store. I was, needless to say, disappointed.The plot revolves around a destructive weapon that would destroy all clothing, hence the title of the movie "The Nude Bomb." Now, I'm OK with an absurd plot, because it's supposed to be parody. The "Get Smart" TV series did a great job of poking fun at the James Bond mystique, long before Austin Powers.There are several strikes against this movie. First, and most importantly, Barbara Feldon, the actress who played Agent 99 in the TV series is nowhere to be found. A huge part of the appeal of "Get Smart" was the chemistry between 86 and 99. None here. Second, the movie came out ten full years after the TV show ended. What may have been funny in 1970 was not so much in 1980.I expect more from Mel Brooks. Especially since this came out in the same year as "History of the World, Part 1," another Mel Brooks film For a better Maxwell Smart/Mel Brooks fix, go to the old series, see "History of the World Part I" or check out Inspector Gadget.

As a long-time "Get Smart" fan, I was very disappointed. Max was NOT Max. He used language and acted so completely unlike the character in the TV series, it was shocking. What were the writers thinking . . . No 99? A crime!! The reason the original series worked so well was the relationship between Max and 99 and the chemistry between Don Adams and Barbara Feldon and the rest of the cast. There are several funny scenes, but mostly the movie is pretty awful. See "Get Smart, Again" (wonderful!) or (I hate to even say it) . . . the horrible Fox series. Both are better than this.
