Not very good... and i really enjoyed it.

Rating: 7/10 (20 October 2008)

Movies are rather personal, aren't they? Enjoying this one helps if you are a Leafs fan and of Mike Myers and Deepak Chopra. I am on all three accounts.
I played hockey with nice guy, Mike, while I was in L.A. in 2000. Since then my daughter (who was five in 2000) have gotten hooked on his Austin Powers films.
We both walked out of the theatre after viewing Guru and said, "It wasn't very good and I really liked it." The spiritual ideas are sound but it's his joy of life that comes through. Like that of Deepak Chopra.
Yes, the pooh-pooh jokes are sometimes old, sometimes gross but for those that are used to it, they don't deter.
Compare the joyous nature of Mike's character in this film (which truly is 'his') and that of Cat in the Hat. How can you go wrong with Dr. Suess? But Cat falls flat.
This is not a hit for the masses. Screw that! I hope he continues to make 'his' films, his way.
