Mike Myers’ Love Guru Trailer is Creepy, Somewhat Funny
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on February 29, 2008
If I told you that Jessica Alba was going to be in a movie you’d probably be mildly interested, right? But what if I then went on to inform you that the film also starred Mike Myers as an Indian guru who has to help the star player of the Toronto Maple Leafs get back with his wife in time for the team to make the playoffs? At this point you are terrified, I’m sure. When I heard that my immediate first thought was, “let’s wait to see a trailer, then pass judgement.”
After seeing the trailer, which I have included for you below, I am delighted to say that my gut was right — this movie is a big pile of stank waiting to happen. Think Austin Powers: The Case of Austin’s Retarded Indian Cousin. Heck, the movie even has Verne Troyer in it — and he is awesome. The only thing that could possibly resurrect The Love Guru at this point is a gratuitous sex scene involving a very nude Jessica Alba — which also does not involve Mike Myers at all. See below for your fill of disappointment, and Jessica Alba.
The Love Guru stars Mike Myers, Jessica Alba, Ben Kingsley and Romany Malco. It stumbles into theaters on June 20th.

I was paralyzed with depression and dispair for at least 30 seconds after watching that turd.

Could be better if it was roadtested on SNL. If Mike Myers were still on that show. It wasn’t too bad until Justin Timberlake showed up. Britney Spears messed up Goldmember.

Actually, Justin Timberlake looks like the only funny thing in the trailer… well, also Vern Troyer.

Seriously, the producers should have saved everyone some time and not bothered making this movie. Then again, Justin Timberlake has proven himself to be absolutely hilarious on SNL, and looks to be pretty funny here, too.

This movie looks to be as stupid as his Austin Powers movies. e should stick to playing the voice of Shreck, at least we don’t have to look at him! and with that said, I hope they don’t make another Shreck movie!
