I want my money back

Rating: 1/10 (5 October 2008)

As one who has always enjoyed Mike Myers work, I decided to rent The Love Guru this week.
About 30 minutes into the film, my girlfriend said, "I don't understand how they can get the money together to make a movie THIS bad. Didn't anyone read the script?" She left the room shortly after.
I asked her to turn it off when she left.
To say this is a bad movie is an understatement. I didn't laugh once, and I really wasn't even amused. It was quite painful to watch. After 45 minutes it was evident that the story was already laid out and there was no point to continue watching as you already knew what was going to happen. Considering there was no humor up to this point, I was pretty certain that I was not going to laugh. It needed to die.
The characters were petty, shallow, and not funny. The sight gags were not funny. The writing was not funny. It was a travesty. I am really disappointed in this film.
Even though it was a rental, I am going to ask for my money back. The studio should not benefit for putting out such drivel.
