Mariska Hargitay...

Rating: 4/10 (22 December 2015)

For a comedy, then "The Love Guru" is surprisingly devoid of laughs and genuinely funny situations. Compared to previous Mike Myers movies, then this was a rather stale installment in his filmography.
The story is about guru Pitka (played by Mike Myers) who travels to USA in order to settle a romantic issue between Darren Roanoaks (played by Romany Mallo) and his girlfriend Prudence (played by Meagan Good). Without their love-life in alignment Darren is unable to play well in the hockey matches.
The laughs were scarce and far apart. I actually think that I laughed only a single time, and it was when Verne Troyer was defibrilated and was sent gliding along the ice arena.
While lacking laughs, then the movie was rich on colorful characters who were portrayed by an impressively array of acting talents. Most memorable in the entire movie was the guru Tugginmypudha played by Ben Kingsley.
"The Love Guru" is not a memorable movie, and not one of Myers best moments. The movie is suitable for a viewing once or twice, but doesn't really holds enough contents to support multiple viewings.
I had expected more of a comedy from this movie. Especially with the impressive cast ensemble. Sadly, the movie turned out to be less than mediocre.
Oh, and before I forget; the best part of "The Love Guru" was the fact that they used Mariska Hargitay as a blessing or something. That was just a stroke of genius. And even better was it when she actually showed up.
