The Love Guru

Myers' masterful display of subtle humour.

My god, is this movie good or what? I didn't think he'd be able to outdo himself after the instant and in-no-way-will-this-ever-get-old classics of Austin Powers and The Cat in The Hat, but somehow he did. Welcome to The Love Guru.

You know what's never not funny? Racist impressions. And this movie has the best. You know what's also never not funny? Jokes about midgets. We've got 'em, and I can assure you they aren't in short supply. And just in case some of Myer's jokes go above your head, he continuously turns and winks to the camera with a 'ting' sound effect just to subtly let you know that now is an appropriate time to chuckle haughtily and with much mirth, for a joke has just been told.

Here is a list of the things you can expect to enjoy in what is nothing short of a masterpiece:

•          Slapstick humour
•          Funny references
•          Topical jokes circa 2008
•          Slapping with sticks in a humorous fashion
•          Dick jokes
•          Justin Timberlake with a porn moustache
•          Inappropriate cultural references
•          Culturally insensitive implications
•         Impromptu song and dance numbers
•         Amusing anecdotes
•          Humorous sticks and the slapping thereof
•          Racist stereotypes

Mike Myers never gets old. He's like Ben Stiller but with cleverer jokes and funny insights. I hope they end up making a sequel to this. It's WAY better than Wayne's World or So I Married an Axe Murderer, which were stupid and in no way funny.

To help Myers with his job of carrying this movie we get an all star cast including Jessica Simpson, Kanye West, Verne Troyer, Daniel Tosh and Rob Heubel. It's like they collected the funniest people ever and decided to make a movie with them, because that's EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID. They even have John Oliver before he was famous, and his character's name is Dick Pants. Get it? It's a pun, because His name is Dick, but your pants are also where you keep your dick. Genius.

*Wink*

'ting'

I don't know why they put Ben Kinsley in this movie though, he can't act and just isn't funny. And he doesn't even look Indian.

Not only can Myers act, and be a comedic mastermind, he actually co-wrote the screenplay. And they even managed to get the guy who wrote "The Librarian" series to direct it, even though he'd never directed anything commercially before. Another good choice, no doubt by Myers.

If you only see one movie this year, make it count.

Make it The Love Guru.


I should make a point here to say that 'no, I didn't lose a bed, and Mike Myers is a fucking idiot.'
Happy April Fools.
