  • Starring: Jessica Alba, Mike Myers, Romany Malco
  • Summary: In the comedy The Love Guru, Pitka is an American who was left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus. He moves back to the U.S. to seek fame and fortune in the world of self-help and spirituality. His unorthodox methods are put to the test when he must settle a rift between Toronto Maple Leafs star hockey player Darren Roanoke and his estranged wife. After the split, Roanoke’s wife starts dating L.A. Kings star Jacques Grande out of revenge, sending her husband into a major professional skid – to the horror of the teams’ owner Jane Bullard and Coach Cherkov. Pitka must return the couple to marital nirvana and get Roanoke back on his game so the team can break the 40-year-old “Bullard Curse” and win the Stanley Cup. (Paramount Pictures)… Expand

    What links all these characters is Myers's gift for antic, elfin burlesque. He's like a second-best Peter Sellers.

    To be sure, The Love Guru is incredibly funny. Side-splitting laughter only stops when the movie does, so don't expect it to linger all the way to the parking lot.

    The Love Guru"does not bring out Myer's best, and aside from a deft early Bollywood parody, there's nothing visually to help the fun along.

    First time I laughed at a movie in a loooooooong time. Then again, what else funny has come out... MEET THE SPARTANS, I think not!

    Basically Austin Power Part 4, just different characters. Lot's of silly, easy jokes. Hard to believe Mike Myers had a co writer on this one. But it was very hard to figure out which parts the co writer wrote as it was identical writing to the last 3 Austin Powers Movies. Not to say I didn't laugh at some of the jokes. It was just OK.… Expand

    Insultingly stupid, embarrassingly bad jokes sometimes. The occasional guest star appearances is amusing, but the movie is just dreadful and badly written.… Expand
