The Love Guru
Friday, August 29th, 2008Mike Myers is a talented guy, but this vehicle is an embarrassment.
The funniest parts are juvenile, unfortunately, outnumbered by gags that are simply more juvenile or, worse yet, juvenile and mean-spirited.
For example, some of the jokes directed at Verne Troyer’s character sound like they were uttered by a 15-year-old classroom bully, not written by an intelligent man in his forties.
More scenes of young Pitka might have explained better how he grew into the adult he became, and Rajneesh could have been fleshed out a bit.
I suspect that a lot of character development and back story were left on the cutting room floor.
What should have been cut were the cameos that were either pointless or self-referential without being truly funny.
have fun!
