GET SMART: Genre Analysis

Get Smart is an action/adventure/comedy film; it achieves all of these by being a blatant spoof of typical spy movies such as James Bond, including the action adenture elements of such films and creating comedy by making a joke of it. The fight scenes, car/plane chases and the explosions all make Get Smart an action film, and the common blunders of the characters in addition the unconventional hero of Max make Get Smart a comedy.  The idea of Max working in a spying agency instantly sets up the action and adventure genre, and the settings are often in heavily secured enemy headquaters, which strongly connotes espionage and therefore action and adventure.
