Review of The Love Guru (2008) by Keith C — 06 Apr 2012

BAD, BAD, BAD...so why the hell was I laughing so much? See, really what we have here is a totally new form of comedic arts, a movie that really doesn't give a shit if it sucks, but only that you laugh.

This, like the Austin Powers movies is chock full of zingers and one-liners that people will be qoting for years to come..BUT no one will ever admit to actually enjoying the film. I could see this having a strong life on Home Video moreso than in any theatrical run.

I enjoy Mike Myers' humor as a long time SNL fan, so really that same "sketch" humor is here and works in short bursts. The movie as a whole experience is really painful, but really isn't it just being used as a vehicle for Myers to hit us with these small jabs of quicky jokes? So really I'm perplexed with this because there are some absolutely dreadful moments in this sad film.

.head slap NOT FUNNY fall on your face LAME jokes.. but then Myers redeems himself with a good one. Its up to you if there are more good than BAD jokes in this.. but more like a standup routine than anything else in the end it's really where your brand of humor lies that makes this thing enjoyable for you or not.
