probably but it has a line that made me laugh for like 10 minutes straight

"I will make French-Canadian pizza"
"What's that?"
"Pop tart with the ketchup *eyebrow waggle*"

My mouth was agape during most of this movie. I sat there in stunned silence as one joke after another fell completely flat. And Mike Myers is (or was) such a great comedic talent that I was shocked by just how amazingly unfunny this movie was.

The Love Guru is one awful, dreadful gag after another about penises, defecation, flatulence, and elephant sex among other things. It is shooting straight up to the top of my list of the worst movies of the year.

i was hoping that it would be a case where the trailers make it look really bad but it's actually really funny, but the fact that it costars jessica alba kinda belies that. she has the anti-midas touch. everything she touches turns to shit.

wtf is stephen colbert doing in such a crap movie?

Absolutely awful. This movie will stoop to anything for a cheap laugh: "silly name" jokes, size jokes, urine jokes, and sex jokes even a 12-year-old would groan at. You mention Jessica Alba, now I've never been a fan of her as an actress, but she and everyone else in the cast seems ashamed to be in this film. Never has a cast in a comedy looked more aware of the fact that they're bombing.

And the worst part about it all is Mike Myers, how annoying his characters is, and how even worse is his constant habit of looking right at the camera and laughing at his own jokes. Not a single critic in the screening room was laughing with him.
