Where have all good comedies gone, and where are all the gods?
Daily Show News — So, the reviews for Get Smart are coming in, and, not surprisingly, things aren't looking too good . The Love Guru, by the way, is doing even worse . Many reviewers were, however, thoroughly impressed with Colbert's performance . Again, I'm not terribly surprised. Oh well! At least Steve's appearance on last night's show was hilarious. Comedians like Steve Carell and Mike Myers, though you really can't compare the two, are so funny and charming off the cuff. It really makes you wonder why they can't seem to pull off something better on the big ...

‘The Love Guru’ So Bad, Even Harry Knowles Hates It
Vulture — ... With The Love Guru sporting a Shyamalanian Metascore of 24 and an even more dismal 11 percent on Rotten Tomatoes ("A Cinematic Bed of Nails!" exclaims one headline), many have long since concluded that Mike Myers's ashram-based comedy is every bit as terrible as it looked from the trailer. Still, we thought, just because the critics are unanimous doesn't mean they're right. But then, this morning, Ain't It Cool News' Harry Knowles weighed in: "The Love Guru is astonishingly rancid." Not just rancid — rancid in a way that is ...

Friday Free-for-all
No Fact Zone — ... So I’ve been waiting, quite patiently, for The Love Guru to come out. But at the same time, I’ve been waiting with apprehension. To be honest, the concept just wasn’t jiving with me. Not Stephen’s role in it, of course, but of other aspects of the movie. Currently, the movie is in low double digit positive reviews over at RottenTomatoes.com, and the way that the critics are describing the movie is just brutal. I couldn’t imagine being involved with a project that is being this universally panned. ...

Maxwell Smart Set to Bury 'Guru' in Clash of Stinky Summer Titans [Defamer Attractions]
Gawker: Defamer — ... WHAT'S NEW: For the second consecutive week, a pair of critical underachievers square off at the multiplex. But while the noisy, mostly terrible Get Smart is something of a masterpiece compared to The Love Guru, we expect both to lock in for decent opening frames; estimates below $40 million seem conservative for Smart, and Guru, almost-unilaterally loathed as it is, will still pull around $22 million from teenagers not knowing any better. Watch out, though, for Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, the first film based on the ...
