Mike Myers hits a new low!

Rating: 2/10 (29 September 2010)

The Love Guru is another stupid comedy written from Mike Myers. Although billed as a comedy, The Love Guru is more like a snuff movie as we watch Mike Myers, of Austin Powers fame, slowly but emphatically kill his career during 80 laugh-free minutes. This film is filled with so many braindead jokes it just becomes very tiresome and annoying. Not to mention a lot of sexual and penis jokes, and many continuity jokes such as spelling words into acronyms, Guru adding "TM" at the end of an acronym, annoying NHL commentators, etc.
The Love Guru plot is basically about Guru Pikta (Myers) whom wants to surpass Deepak Chopra in celebrity, so he takes an offer from the owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs (Jessica Alba) to get star player Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco) back with his girl (Meagan Good), who has been swept away by rival Jacques "Le Coq" Grande (Justin Timberlake) of the Los Angeles Kings. That seems pretty stupid and unrealistic even for a comedy.
One thing that was okay was Mike Myers performances. It seemed tat he tried and it was pretty entertaining. Though the supporting cast was pretty boring and dull. In general the Love Guru insultingly stupid, filled with embarrassingly bad jokes. The occasional guest star appearances is amusing, but the movie is just dreadful and badly written.
