Get Smart trailer (ft. Steve Carell) hits YouTube, is bilingual

Earlier this week, a fellow known only as Kravis17 uploaded the latest in a series of most likely illegal (as opposed to barely legal) movie trailers to his YouTube account. Featuring Steve Carrell, Dwayne “No Longer The Rock” Johnson, Anne “The Girl Who Turned Down Knocked Up” Hathaway, Alan “Steve Carell’s Co-Star In Little Miss Sunshine” Arkin and Ken "The Naked Guy From Borat" Davitian, the most recent trailer is for a film titled Agente 88. And if it sounds a suspiciously like the Get Smart movie that’s coming out this June…

...well, that’s because it is the Get Smart movie that’s coming out this June! Just with Portuguese subtitles. And also a Portuguese title. Basically, it's the Portuguese Brazilian (props to Rodigo for the catch!) trailer.

Given that the name of the movie itself couldn’t quite scale the language barrier, we wondered if the film’s dialogue suffered a similar fate. Quite conveniently, Tiago, one of our editorial interns, happens to speak fluent Portuguese, and was thus tasked with reviewing the trailer for any potentially comedic lost-in-translationisms. The following verdict was delivered approximately two minutes later, via Instant Message:

tiago: It's all correctly translated
rachael: ohh ok
tiago: they make a portmanteau even with shoephone
rachael: whoa!
