Oh man was I wrong about this one. This is one hilarious movie. Non-stop laughs for two hours. Mike Meyers is a genius that should be emblazened in the annals of history as a comic genius. And Verne Troyer. Oh man. There's no one better-
OK enough of this nonsense. This movie is pure garbage. Seriously. Mike Meyers ran out of jokes four movies ago. Yet for some reason he's still getting paid to tell them every year, just in a different costume.
The Love Guru has Mr. Meyers playing Austin Powers as an Indian Self-help Guru. Verne Troyer plays a hockey coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Why? Because Mike Meyers is a huge Leafs fan. Can't fault him for that, really. But I can fault him for having a scene with Rob Blake taking a faceoff at center ice with the game tied and six seconds left. So not only does Mike insult us with his comedy, he insults our hockey knowledge, too.
And about that comedy. Most of the jokes you've heard before. The new stuff centers around the "guru" making new phrases out of words. Like "Guru" becomes:
Gee
yoU
aRe
yoU
And "Bible" becomes:
Basic
Instructions
Before
Leaving
Earth
I think I learned that one when I was six. Well, Mike, I got a new one for you:
Comedy
Recycled from
Austin
Powers
Not even a cameo by Jim Gaffigan could save this.
