The Love Guru Dvd Scores Just Enough Guffaws Than Stinkers To Be Regarded A Success

I just lately purchased a copy of The Love Guru DVD and I must say it's better than I anticipated it to be. The idea in the flick is a Guru called Pitka is an American raised outside of the United States and returns to launch his personal self-help business. His initial challenge is to resolve the romantic problems of a star hockey player, which is in turn giving him the same troubles on the ice too.
The Love Guru DVD, stars the always humorous Mike Myers, who also penned the screenplay. It also stars the stunning Jessica Alba and equally manly Justin Timberlake and of course Ben Kingsley. While netting thirty two million at the box office is nothing to sniff at, for Myers this constitutes a failure. As an actor he has enjoyed grand success and has watched his movies just kill at the box office, but this movie had too much bad buzz from the very beginning, it's not difficult to see why it was unsuccessful in the ability to sell tickets.
Myers' shtick isn't for everyone, but I acknowledge I laughed. Looking around, however, I witnessed that my fellow moviegoers were enjoying themselves as much as well being at an actual hockey game. Still though, Mike Myers is so vibrant, good-humoured and clearly having a blast being a goofball that it's nearly impossible not to be won over.
Yet, beneath the disguise there lingers the spirit of Austin Powers, whose love of double entendres and fart jokes stays present and politically incorrect. Which is exactly where and why The Love Guru fails. Many of the gags are centered around either genitalia or that Austin Powers-style of wink-nudge artificial sexuality, which doesn't fit at all with this character.
Although a tad shaky, The Love Guru scores more guffaws than clunkers, though parents should take the PG-13 rating seriously. It is though vintage Myers, with an extraordinary, broadly played character borrowed from Peter Sellers, silly makeup, bad puns, innuendo, the unpredictable pause for song and dance and Myers' continuing obsession with little people.
