SaintLReviews's Blog: The Love Guru Review

"The Love Guru" is a sign of Mike Myers fall from comedy gold to trash.

"The Love Guru" stars Mike Myers as Guru Pitka, a Guru whose careers revolves around his love advise. He is hired by Jane Bullard ( Jessica Alba) the owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs whose star player Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco) has lost his touch, can no longer player because of a recent break up. Guru must help get him together ith his ex, while trying to resist his love for Jane.

To start, the acting is horrible. Mike Myers has never been worse, it is sad to see him min this. Alba is her dumb old self, and one must begin to wonder whether or not she even knows where she is, let alone the movies shes decides to be in. Apparently the girl doesn't care about her career, well I guess she doesn't have to with her looks. There were many actors in this film that I cant believe lent their voice and appearance, including Morgan Freeman and especially Bens Kingsley.

The comedy in this was....well nonexistent. I laughed maybe twice. The film is filled with either jokes from Myers's previous films, or from 20 minutes earlier in the film. Comedy wise, this film was one of the worst I have ever seen, because there was no comedy, Mike Myers has really lost his touch.

The story, like everything else, was bad. I mean the story moved at a high speed pace, everything came and went and problems were resolved in seconds, they build up the film for certain confrontations and when they occur they are one line of dialogue, a hug and everything is fine. Also the ending is crap, and by that point you arent surprised.

In the end, this movie isnt worth a viewing. It would be a waste of time and money to watch this, look at this, or even read this review. Im sad, sad to see that Mike Myers, the once funny guy from Waynes World and Saturday Night Live, has reverted to this type of movie. First Sandler, then Murphy and now Myers. I truly hated this film, one of the worst of the year 2/10.
