Title: A disappointment
Review: Mike Myers plays Guru Pitka, a spiritual leader who's tired of being "the poor man's Deepak Chopra". He's hired by the owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs because they think the only way they can win the cup is if their star player gets back with his wife and they hope Guru Pitka can get them back together.From Mike Myers, creator of Wayne's World and Austin Powers, I'd expect a solid comedy, but "The Love Guru" was obviously not written on one of his good days (Myers and cowriter Graham Gordy "won" a Razzie Award for worst screenplay). The story is weak but in comedies like this the characters and jokes are often more important than the story. Unfortnately, Guru Pitka is nowhere near as funny as Austin Powers for instance, and the jokes often fall flat, with some exceptions. Ben Kingsley's talents are wasted in an unfunny role as an older guru. 1+
