Get Smart Vs. The Love Guru

[Duel]

2 Comedies

1 Day

Your worthless $20 if you're getting snacks

There can only be one




From what I've heard, and I've heard plenty, The Love Guru is terrible. Way to go Myers.

Re: Get Smart Vs. The Love Guru

I loved the original Get Smart.

I like Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway is the hottest chick in Hollywood.

Mike Myers hasn't been funny in 11 years.

That's my take.

I heard that both movies weren't any good.

Re: Get Smart Vs. The Love Guru

I saw Get Smart last night.

It's pretty awesome. It blends action and comedy into a great mix.

And some of the dialogue will make you chuckle a little bit.

Re: Get Smart Vs. The Love Guru

Love Guru is supposed to be one of the worst movies ever.

Get Smart is supposed to be mediocre.

So I'll watch them when they are on TBS or On Demand or something.

The only good thing that can be said about Meyers' cavorting is that it makes every one else look better. Alba has been hired to be eye candy and nothing else, and most of the rest of the cast is either Meyers' straight man or cohort. Jim Gaffigan and Stephen Colbert try their hand at the over-the-top odd couple sports announcers, but it's been done so much better, and recently, that it doesn't serve as much more than a needed respite from Meyers. The only person who actually succeeds at what he's supposed to be doing is Timberlake, as a well endowed French-Canadian stereotype Jacques 'Le Coque' Grande (in just one of Meyers' frequent pieces of quote-unquote 'word play'). It's not the most original or funniest of ideas, but Timberlake goes for it with enough gusto that... well, it doesn't really work. Nothing in the film works. But it's better than anything else around it. On the other end of the spectrum is Ben Kingsley, who seems to be honestly giving Meyers a run for his money as the worst thing in the film, as Pitka's unbelievably stereotypical teacher, Guru Tugginmypudha. And if you think you're detecting a pattern to Meyers' 'word play' that's because you are.

Sure there's a decent theme in there about self-esteem and not letting other people decide your self-image for you, but who cares. If you took the world's most perfect diamond and wrapped it in five metric tons of crap it wouldn't matter how beautiful or valuable it was, you'd never want to go near the thing.

"The Love Guru" is just a half a step up from a loop of monkeys throwing feces at each other. This isn't a case of just turning your brain off and regressing to a childhood sense of humor. You could have a full frontal lobotomy and "The Love Guru" would still never be funny. It's just vile, vile, vile. I usually try to stay even handed about films and freely admit that all opinions are subjective, but if you like this movie you are categorically wrong and should be sterilized for the good of the human race.

Ah! What a grump! x3
