No Love for The Love Guru

Get Smart beats the living crap out of The Love Guru

I saw Get Smart, and it wasn't a good movie by any stretch, but it wasn't insanely terrible either. And, the rotten tomatoes score for Get Smart and The Love Guru pretty show you which movie was reviewed better. (Actually, the Love Guru received a rating of 16 % and it only made 14 million.)

Just like Adam Sandler, Mike Myers needs to grow out of the stuff that made him so famous in the 90s. Just like the Clintons, the 90s are over it's time for a change, Mike.

I have to wonder if the studio knew that they had a stinker on their hands, because they marketed the hell out of this thing. There were a few really bad viral marketing projects. But, did they really need to spend 60 million dollars on this movie?

Make sure to check out Harry Knowles' review of the movie: I generally disagree with 75% of what Harry says most of the time, but he has me laughing with this review.

First Showing has a story up about the downward spiral of Myers: This guy sums up everything that's wrong with the movie and Mr. Myers. It's a good read.
