closeFamily reviews: "Get Smart,' "The Love Guru'
"Get Smart'
Rating: PG-13 for some rude humor, action violence and language.
What it's about: Intelligence analyst Maxwell Smart realizes his dream to become a secret agent when he is sent, with lovely Agent 99, to find missing yellowcake uranium.
The Kid Attractor Factor: Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne ”The Rock“ Johnson, all shooting and blowing stuff up.
Good lessons/bad lessons: ”Until we understand our enemies are also human beings, we cannot defeat them.“
Violence: Slapstick, a tiny bit of blood, and a staggering body count for a comedy.
Language: Reasonably clean.
Sex: ”Missed it by this much.“
Drugs: None.
Parents' advisory: The most benign of the big summer comedies, contentwise, aside from a prolonged trip to the toilet and the presence of The 40 Year-Old Virgin and Her Hotness, Anne Hathaway.
"The Love Guru'
Rating: PG-13 for crude and sexual content throughout, language, some comic violence and drug references.
What it's about: An American-born guru tries to crack the self-help racket by reconciling a star hockey player separated from his wife.
The Kid Attractor Factor: The voice of Shrek, Mike Myers, doing live-action puns and shtick, randy jokes, juvenile potty humor, the works.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Love yourself and others will love you, or ”Intimacy: Into ME, I SEE.“
Violence: Hockey breaks out from time to time.
Language: Some profanity.
Sex: Innuendo and chastity belt jokes and elephants reproducing and Jessica Alba.
Drugs: A pot joke.
Parents' advisory: If your kids have seen the Austin Powers movies, there's nothing here that will shock them, or you — it's a little naughty in that bawdy Brit-com tradition.
