The Love Guru sucks

A month ago, we told you that The Love Guru may be banned in India. Although this film has a lot of stars (Mike Myers, Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake), overall reviews have not been good for this film. (Neither getting less than 20% on Rottentomatoes nor being considered for a Razzie is good for a film.)

Here’s the synopsis for The Love Guru

In the comedy “The Love Guru,” Pitka (Mike Myers in his first original character since Austin Powers) is an American who was left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus. He moves back to the U.S. to seek fame and fortune in the world of self-help and spirituality. His unorthodox methods are put to the test when he must settle a rift between Toronto Maple Leafs star hockey player Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco) and his estranged wife. After the split, Roanoke’s wife starts dating L.A. Kings star Jacques Grande (Justin Timberlake) out of revenge, sending her husband into a major professional skid – to the horror of the teams’ owner Jane Bullard (Jessica Alba) and Coach Cherkov (Verne Troyer). Pitka must return the couple to marital nirvana and get Roanoke back on his game so the team can break the 40-year-old “Bullard Curse” and win the Stanley Cup.

The more we look at The Love Guru, the more we think of yellow face like Fu Manchu and Charlie Chan. Mike Myers needs to watch Hollywood Chinese. Asian Americans are making great strides in American entertainment and this film comes a long. Something must be broken in Hollywood for the execs to greenlight this film.
