Hate "Guru" !

Rating: 1/10 (26 June 2008)

THE LOVE GURU (2008) * ½ Mike Myers, Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake, Romany Malco, Meagan Good, Verne Troyer, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Jim Gaffigan, Ben Kingsley, Telma Hopkins. (cameos as themselves: Deepak Chopra, Val Kilmer, Kanye West, Jessica Simpson) Jaw-droppingly awful comedy with no one to blame but Myers (who co-wrote the heinous screenplay with Graham Gordy and also served as producer) in this truly cringe-worthy tale about a deluded 'guru' (guess who?) who wants to be the #1 guru in the world and takes on the case of helping a hockey player break his slump after his wife has left him is the bare-bones of the 'plot' but the rest is one painfully terrible pun-inducing, wink-nudge to the camera, 'love fest' for the star who seriously must think he's so adorable as this ass; hopefully Myers will look 'deep within' and kill this alter ego off.
