Where to Watch Get Smart in the UAE — Steve Carell's Spy Comedy Streaming on OSN+
Steve Carell's bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart is streaming on OSN+ in the UAE.
Quick Answer: Get Smart is streaming on OSN+ in the UAE. The full film is available now. OSN+ costs AED 49/month.
Back when Steve Carell was transitioning from bumbling Dunder Mifflin regional manager to bumbling secret agent, Get Smart proved that sometimes the best spies are the ones who trip over their own gadgets. This 2008 comedy revival of the classic TV series pairs Carell with Anne Hathaway in a delightfully ridiculous romp through the world of international espionage, complete with shoe phones and enough slapstick to make even Agent 99 cringe. Here's how to watch it in the UAE.
In the UAE, Get Smart is streaming on OSN+ from June 2008, following its original cinema release.

What Is Get Smart About?
Get Smart follows Maxwell Smart, a brilliant analyst promoted to field agent after the secret agency CONTROL is compromised by the villainous KAOS organisation. When enemy spies infiltrate the agency and expose most agents' identities, bumbling but eager Maxwell Smart gets his chance to prove himself in the field. He's partnered with the competent Agent 99, whose cover remains intact, as they work together to stop KAOS from achieving world domination.
The film stars Steve Carell as the iconic Maxwell Smart, with Anne Hathaway as his capable partner Agent 99. Dwayne Johnson brings his action chops as Agent 23, while Alan Arkin anchors the cast as The Chief. The supporting ensemble includes Terence Stamp as the menacing Siegfried, James Caan as the President, and a memorable cameo from Bill Murray as the underground-dwelling Agent 13.
Think Austin Powers meets Mission: Impossible, but with more heart and less innuendo. Director Peter Segal crafts an affectionate tribute to the 1960s TV series that balances genuine spy thriller elements with Carell's trademark physical comedy. The film earned a respectable 6.2/10 on TMDB and proved that classic comedy concepts could work in the modern action-comedy landscape.
How Many Episodes Does Get Smart Have?
Get Smart is a single feature film with a 110-minute runtime. This is a standalone movie adaptation of the classic TV series, not a series itself. The original Get Smart television show ran from 1965 to 1970, but this 2008 version is purely a cinematic experience designed for one sitting of spy comedy mayhem.

The casting of Steve Carell was inspired — he brings just the right mix of earnest incompetence and unexpected competence that made Don Adams' original Maxwell Smart so endearing. Pairing him with Anne Hathaway's no-nonsense Agent 99 creates genuine chemistry that elevates the material beyond simple slapstick.
Is Get Smart Kid-Friendly?
Get Smart is generally suitable for families with children 13 and older. The PG-13 rating reflects some action violence, mild language, and brief suggestive content, but nothing particularly intense or inappropriate for teens. The spy action includes some gunfights and explosions, but it's handled in a cartoonish, non-graphic manner that fits the comedy tone.
Recommended age: 13+ due to action sequences and mild adult humour, though younger viewers familiar with spy movies might enjoy it with parental guidance.
Is Get Smart Free to Watch?
No, Get Smart requires an OSN+ subscription starting at AED 49/month. There's no free trial currently available, though du and etisalat customers can access OSN+ through their mobile packages — text OSN to 3232 (du) or OSN to 1741 (etisalat) for bundle options. At 110 minutes, you're paying roughly AED 0.45 per minute of spy comedy gold, which feels reasonable for Carell and Hathaway's excellent chemistry alone.
Can I Watch Get Smart in UAE Cinemas?
Get Smart was released in UAE cinemas in June 2008 during its original theatrical run. However, as this was over 15 years ago, the film is no longer playing in cinemas. OSN+ is your only option for watching this spy comedy classic in the UAE.
Can I Watch Get Smart While Travelling Outside the UAE?
This depends on your destination and OSN+'s licensing agreements. Get Smart is licensed content rather than an OSN+ original, so availability varies by region. The film may be available on different platforms in other countries — for instance, it streams on various services in the US including Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Check local streaming platforms in your destination country for the most reliable access.
What to Watch After Get Smart
My Spy (Amazon Prime Video) — Dave Bautista plays a CIA operative babysitting a precocious 9-year-old in this action-comedy that shares Get Smart's mix of spy thrills and family-friendly laughs.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (Netflix) — Guy Ritchie's stylish Cold War spy thriller offers more sophisticated action but maintains the buddy-cop dynamic that makes Get Smart work so well.
Charlie's Angels (OSN+) — Whether you go for the classic films or the recent reboot, these female-led action comedies capture the same blend of competence and chaos that defines Maxwell Smart's world.
