Justin Timberlake Is Box Office POISON

Filed under: Canadialand > Justin Timberlake > Film Flickers > Jessica Alba > Mike Myers

Just about every movie that Justin Timberlake has starred in has bombed.

This is no exception!

In a battle at the box office on Friday night, the Mike Meyers/Justin flick was ass slapped - hard by Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway.

J.T.'s Love Guru is expected to take in a disastrous $14 million in America this weekend, whereas Anne and Steve's Get Smarth is projected to make $40 million.

That's a major whooping!

um…none of JT's movies have been big studio ones and they've done pretty good and (btw, all of his reviews-except for Edison-has been pretty good). The one movie he was in that was big, Shrek 3, opened very well…so, unfortunately Perez, I think you're suffering from hateration-you should get that checked out.

justin timberlake had the only truly funny character in this movie. well acted, good timing. mike meyers… i used to be a huge fan… snl, wayne's world, so i married an axe murderer, even austin powers 1… but now… he's not getting it anymore… uses the same dick and poop jokes over and over in every movie.

serious perez…..you need to get some taste….not everything JT has been in has bombed….Try "Black Snake Moan" just b/c the mainstream bullshit he's been in hasn't been the best doesn't mean it's JT's fault…..I think someone is a bit jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It;s not Justin, it's Alba. She sucks.
And the concept of the movie sucked too.

i really don't understand why these hollywood folk want justin timberlake in their movies… seriously! i saw him in black snake moan and was like wtf! then again in that gnarls barkley video and thought to myself okay this is getting outta hand… now he's in a movie with fuckin' mike meyers? son of a bitch… the execs at these hollywood studios must've been part of the mickey mouse club too.

i personally went and saw the movie just to see justin.
and i think he did a grand job.
and it wouldnt really be his fault, blame the writers.

Justin was the only reason I was CONSIDERING watching the movie.. then I thought about it again… nahh.. it looks waay too stupid
Naki says – reply to this

312

Okay, I saw both movies this weekend. This was NOT JT's fault. He actually was the ONLY good bit of The Love Guru. Get Smart was GREAT, I havent laughed so hard at a movie in a LONG time. The Love Guru was a bad series of poop and fart jokes.

Don't put the blame on JT. Put the blame on retarded writing.
FUPA says – reply to this

313

Agreed! Justin Timberfake, just like his "good friend" Madonna, are the two worst "actors" alive. They need to stay away from movies and stick to what they know best…making mediocre music. He thinks he's this funny, slapstick comedian and he's really just a stupid douchebag.
Kip says – reply to this

314

This has NOTHING to do with Justin. I paid money to see this movie and IT IS THE WORST PIECE OF SHIT released in decades!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY or flush it down the toilet…the choice is yours and you've been fairly warned. Love Guru SUCKS!!!

NO, Jessica Alba is box office poison and is a terrible actress. The end.
Alex says – reply to this

316

I dunno - from the reviews I've been reading, Justin's performance seems to be the one decent thing about this piece of trash. I think the blame for this one needs to go to Mr. Myers.
Beth says – reply to this

317

Why Jessica Alba is worshipped is beyond me. She may be pretty, but every movie she has been in has sucked. Same with JT's girl Jessica Biel. I cannot stand her or Jessica Alba. JT is actually talented and made a mistake starring in this piece of crap.
Purpl says – reply to this

318

No, I don't think it was JT's fault ! I haven't seen the movie and I don't think I will because Jessica " Don't call me Latina" Alba is in it. She can't act I can't stand her she has ruined this movie. Blame her not JT
Jill says – reply to this

319

Can't blame it all on JT. Hasn't anyone noticed that any movie Jessica Alba does bombs???? And from what I've read, (no I'm not spending $7 to see this movie!) is that Stephen Colbert and Justin have the funniest parts in it!
Court says – reply to this

this movie looks like it blows ass anyway, its not him that is hurting the movies it just happens that he was in a really really stupid movie… i wouldn't go out to see this if someone paid me to.
nik says – reply to this

321

Perez… You gotta take that back. You know damn well it's because of Jessica Alba! Don't play! Like the other 300 comments say… She's POISON!

manon says – reply to this

325

Erm, think you got it wrong there…Jessica "don't call me Latina" Alba is the real stink bomb. Girl can't talk and walk at the same time, she's thaaaaaaaaaat stooopid. Yekh!

326

maybe if the love guru didn't look like an utter piece of crap, people would have gone to see it?
Desi says – reply to this

327

Jessica Alba is box office shit, she's the most AWFUL actress ever! You've even said it yourseldf, why pick on Justin?
sho says – reply to this

328

Ummmmmm
it could have bombed because of JT, interesting theory
Or FAR more likely, it could be the god awful and shiteous poster. preview. and premise of THE LOVE GURU….
I mean seriously, has anyone looked at that poster and not wanted to walk in the opposite direction?
just a thought.
JUSTI says – reply to this

329

FIRST I WANNA SAY THAT JESSICA ALBA IS A DISASTROUS ACTRESS SO SHE SHOULD TAKE SOME OF THE RESPONSABILITY BUT JUSTIN IS NOT THAT TALENTED EITHER HE JUST PLAYS ONE CHARACTER IN EVERY ROLE HE DOES IN SNL HE DID THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND ALSO IN EVERY COMIDIC MOVIE OR DRAMATIC MOVIE HE DOES NOT PLAY A CHARACTER HE JUST DOES WHAT HE NORMALLY DOES IN AN INTERVIEW HE IS SO OVERRATED
Sherr says – reply to this

330

The movie sucks. That's why it's bombing. It's the same old shit that MM has done before and yes Carrel is hot now. Not to mention that according to people close on the set (extra's) MM was an asshole. He kind of deserves to be knocked down a peg or two.

Justin Timberlake… what about Jessica Alba?? She's been in more movies and they never do well!
Heath says – reply to this

332

Did it occur to you that maybe no one watched it because it looks like a terrible movie? Justin Timberlake just needs to get involved with better scripts.
Cowto says – reply to this

333

It was so overly advertised you were sick of the movie before it came out.
Chris says – reply to this

334

shrek didn't bomb!
maybe says – reply to this

335

as a canadian i am loathe to say this, but maybe it's due to the fact that most americans could give a shit about the toronto maple leafs? i mean, i'm from toronto and i don't care… maybe it's a healthy combo of small interest group/racial slurring? if you're not a hockey fan or if you're not into bashing minorities; maybe this movie isn't for you?
HOOOO says – reply to this

336

i didn't see it because JESSICA ALBA is in it and SHE SUCKS! I didn't even remember that J.T. was in it. Maybe it was both their faults! I don't know why they keep getting cast. I love J.T. and a lot of other hot actors out there but I would never see their stuff just cuz they are in it! The movie has to appeal to me. Don't these film people know to cast talent before good looks, and fame? I mean, look at all the movies Jessica Simpson has been in. They've sucked, done poorly in theatres, and co-starred non-actors such as Johnny Knoxville, and Dane Cook. When I see a movie starring a bunch of reality stars and people who are famous for just being famous, I avoid it like a plague!! This movie could have also bombed because people didn't find it too good or especially because it's not a good idea to spend $11.00 on just any movie nawadays especially if it seems bad.

As soon as I heard that Jessica was going to be in it, I decided I wasn't going to see it. i can't stand the girl. She can't act. She is beautiful She should have tried modeling or Playboy. Anything where she'll keep her mouth shut! I can't believe she is still getting jobs. When is she going to fade into obscurity? Hopefully she decides to become a housewife and not work. I think she may be a big reason why it bombed. Why the hell would Mike Myers want her in the movie. I don't know if she was his love interest but that would've been wrong, why can't they cast older actresses to play old dudes' lovers?! It's so gross!!

Her daughter's name is "Honor," so
I guess we can call her "Ho" for short.

Jessica Alba is a model, a prop, a human special effect, not an actress.

Show us your tits!
jaism says – reply to this

342

It's very telling that while she only has a supporting role in the movie, they are making her the girl they use to promote the movie when they show pictures, not the lead actress. Look at how they have her flash her entire body and as much skin as they can–legs and cleavage. She's not the lead actress but she is getting top billing, even above Myers.

I guess they learned from Sin City to use her to promote the movie as a model but to keep her out of the movie as much as possible so that people don't see her acting. She gets all the credit for Sin City when in fact she was simply on the cover and only had a small, minor part.

I don't know why she keeps getting roles when all her movies bomb, which isn't an accident.
jaism says – reply to this

343

Just about every comment I've read her about the different Don't Call Me Latina stories all hate her and agree that all her movies bomb. Anyone in Hollywood who has 3 or 4 movies bomb as a lead actress is never heard from again. So there has to be something else going on behind the scenes.
Here is my theory about Jessica Alba's popularity with Hollywood executives:
In this day of political correctness, each race has to be represented or else they get protests than kill the movie and the studio. The unique thing about Alba is that by casting her, the check off the boxes for racial diversity quotas for the three main race special interest groups with one person: She is 1. part black. 2. part Hispanic. 3. part White. They think you are stupid enough that simply because you are black you will go see a movie that stars a black person (Driving Miss Daisy?) or that if you are Hispanic, you'll go see a Latina.
She also appeals to them for the same reason that Barack Obama does.
She is a white person with brown skin.

I just don't like Jessica Alba as an actress. Nothing really against her personally but I just don't find her funny or believable.
trah says – reply to this

346

yeah definitely not JT's fault. if anything, he HELPED the movie out by looking so damn sexy. jessica alba sucks…and i hate to say it…but i don't think people find mike myers that funny anymore…i know i don't.
