Myers plays an American raised in India by gurus (Tugginmypudha & Satchabigknoba) and returns to the U.S. in order to break into the self-help business. His unorthodox methods are put to the test when he must settle the romantic troubles and subsequent professional skid of a star hockey player (Romany Malco) whose wife left him for a rival athlete Jacques Grande (Justin Timberlake). Mini Me is back from Austin Powers and plays the hockey coach for more classic comedic moments that will have audiences laughing from opening to closing credits.System Requirements:Running Time: 88 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/COMEDY OF ERRORS Rating: PG-13 UPC: 097363507048 Manufacturer No: 350704 Amazon.com: Mike Myers, creator of Wayne's World and Austin Powers, adds another character to his arsenal of comic personae. With his thick beard, curly mustachios, and easy-to-remember aphorisms, Guru Pitka (Myers) has built a reputation as love advisor par excellence--but he's still just America's #2 guru, after Deepak Chopra. Finally an opportunity comes his way: If he can heal the rift between a star hockey player (Romany Marco, Weeds) and his wife (Meagan Good, Stomp the Yard), he can appear on Oprah. But when he meets the hockey team's comely owner (Jessica Alba), Pitka realizes he must solve his own love problems as well. Myers can't resist a good bodily functions joke--unfortunately, he can't resist a bad one either, so The Love Guru is crammed top to bottom with jokes about urine, feces, sex, genitalia--lots and lots about male genitalia--along with many, many gags about Canada, drugs, elephants, inspirational catchphrases, and little people (Vern "Mini-Me" Troyer takes the brunt of these). But the Austin Powers movies were pretty much the same sort of lowbrow comedy grab-bag; though the ratio of good to bad might be weaker here, a good handful of bits offer solid laughs, including some mock-Bollywood musical numbers. Also featuring pop star Justin Timberlake (as a preposterously well-endowed French-Canadian), Ben Kingsley (as Pitka's cross-eyed mentor), Stephen Colbert (as a drug-addled sports announcer), as well as numerous celebrity cameos. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Mariska Hargitay, your HollinessThis movie it's hilarious, very character was very natural and somewhat realistic, it's really funny.... Rating:  - Better than I thoughtFirst of all let me begin by saying that if I were a fan of Comedies I would have given this a four, but comedies because of their lack of realism are not my forte. That being said, after viewing the average that this movie has (on Amazon) I was afraid to watch. I watched it however, because the cast seemed stellar enough. After having watched the film I can honestly say that it was ammusing. There were parts that were meant to be funny and didn't do the ... Read More Rating:  - Better than Slapshot 2I love hockey. I like Stephen Colbert. These two elements were in this film that critics hated and Amazon reviewers mostly hated. Why? I didnt find anything wrong with this movie. It was pretty funny and I didnt really see how the movie was rated so low. Stephen Colbert could have been used a few more times, I hate Justin Timberlake but he was really funny at his role, and Myers was decent but seemed not to be the focus of the film. So if you want a good laugh, ignore critics ... Read More Rating: - I DONT SEE WHY THE RATINGS SO LOW!i really enjoyed this movie. Im a very tuff man to impress. I dont see why it didnt do that well in the box office as well as rating wise on this cite. The jokes were funny and the story was well written. It was a great movie i never got bored! i really recommend this movie. I saw it twice in 2 days. really good! Rating:  - What happened?I used to have a man-crush on Mike Myers, but after watching this movie he is just a silly Canadian to me. From beginning to end my wife and I kept exchanging looks of: "What?"and "Really?". What happened, Mike? |
