THE LOVE GURU (2008)
SYNOPSIS
This summer, the second-best guru in the world is
coming to America . . . on a wild-eyed mission of
love. Mike Myers takes on his first original
character since the beloved foreign agent Austin
Powers with the mystical, magnetic yet ever-so-
mischievous Guru Pitka, who seeks only peace,
enlightenment and national television coverage.
In “The Love Guru,” when Guru Pitka is engaged to
use his ancient spiritual wisdom to fix a 21st
Century celebrity romance, his karma runs
headlong into comedy. An all-star cast including
Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake, Romany Malco,
Meagan Good, Omid Djalili and Ben Kingsley, along
with surprise cameos, join Myers in this romp
through the territory where enlightenment and
merriment collide. --Paramount

The Love Guru written by Mike Myers and Graham Gordy is sure to win or at least be nominated for an
award this year. The Razzie Award....the worst movie of the year. What was Mike thinking when he
wrote this movie! Did Ben Kingsley lose a bet? Is that what made Ben Kingsley even agree to star in
The Love Guru? Mike Meyers and Ben Kingsley should be in the running for worst performance of the
year! This movie should have been rated R. How did this movie come away with the PG-13 rating? I am
sure we will never get answers to any of these questions! Just do yourself a favor and skip this one. I
walked out of the theater thinking "That is 1 hour and 28 minutes I could have been home cleaning the
house!"
