Looks like enough people were craving the silly fun of an updated Maxwell Smart story this weekend, making the Steve Carell-Anne Hathaway comedy
No. 1 at the box office. The Mike Meyers comedy
The Love Guru was
expected to show Get Smart some stiff competition during the opening weekend for both movies.

I'm having a hard time with the old axiom "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" while figuring out how to share my thoughts on the new Mike Myers comedy (and by the way, that categorization is a stretch)
The Love Guru. I have to be honest, I've been sitting on this for a few days now, and I'm hard-pressed to find a single decent thing to say about it. There is juvenile, there is crude, there is downright not funny.

OK, so these aren't the best photos of Justin Timberlake, but they have sparked a convo between FabUK and I – Is Justin Timberlake still hot? That shiny blue jacket is not helping things, and I'm mildly afraid of his character and appearance in
The Love Guru. FabUK has said I can quote her on the fact she does not think he's hot anymore.

Justin Timberlake left
his lady at home but still made a cute pair with Mike Myers at the premiere of
The Love Guru in LA last night.
New mom Jessica Alba also had to sit this one out, but her costars were more than willing to take care of the talking, joking, and funny faces. JT dished about getting another acting role under his belt but made it clear that music is still his passion,
saying, "I'd love to be a two sport athlete, if you're asking me what I'm hoping for.
Ben Kingsley has always been a man of many faces (and accents), but lately it seems like he's popping up in every movie (and every time with a different accent). I knew he was in
War, Inc. with John Cusack, and in one of my
Tribeca favorites,
The Wackness. And then when I checked out
the trailer for Elegy (which is mesmerizing only because Penelope Cruz is so smoking hot no matter what she does), there he was again!
Movie Preview: The Love Guru With Meyers, Alba, Timberlake and More Okay, I'm willing to give The Love Guru a huge chance based on the cast alone: Mike Meyers (natch), Romany Malco (Conrad from Weeds!), Justin Timberlake (dressed all funny and bewigged), John Oliver (hilarious British guy from The Daily Show) and Ben Kingsley (funny because of, you know, his Oscar-winning performance as Ghandi). Oh, and Jessica Alba's in it too.

The new trailer for The Love Guru looks silly in the Austin Powers kind of way, though less charming and less humorous.

I just love this guy.
John Oliver is one of the greatest, funniest, dead-panniest parts of "The Daily Show" so I am thrilled to see that
he's been cast in a real movie!
However...
