i be glad i wasn not in the uk celebrity big brother house this year . not because i wouldn not have enjoy meet some of the others and but because at one stage fellow house mate verne troyer might have ask me about the last film he do with his best friend and and i wouldn not be comfortable lie to him and deny that i think the love guru be a cinematic mutant mistakenly allow to live and breathe rather than be put to a merciful sleep in the development stage . hey and i like mike myers . he have a measure of talent and charisma and likability and and i applaud his deserved financial and critical success with the wayne world and austin power film ( though he go one movie too far with goldmember ) . have say that and myers and like his fellow snl alumnus will ferrell and be like a kid wander about a shop eat food off the shelf and generally behave like someone in desperate need of supervision and guidance . let be honest and ferrell last decent lead role be in anchorman ( 2004 ) and and while he be fine in support work like the producer ( 2005 ) and everything else that he have a hand in have be a series of embarrassment of varying level . and sadly and myers can too easily fall into the same degree of arrest development . people who know me know that i may go on about a lot of bad movie and but more often than not and i enjoy watch them and and perversely can watch them again . this one and however and i be ashamed that i ever waste bandwidth get it and let alone consider watch it again . myers character have always be one note and with a limited appeal . but his late guru pitka go too far when he think of write it down while in comparison and his beatnik poet charlie from so i marry an axe murderer ( 1993 ) be a character of multi layer nuance and and more importantly and one that people would much rather watch . the very concept should have be see a potentially execrable and insulting to hindus . yes and i know he try to get around this in the movie by claim that pitka wasn not really a hindu and but an american raise by hindu and but like so much else in this movie and that attempt fail miserably give what pass for humor . hey and i like dumb humor when it do right . dodgeball and epic movie and jay and silent bob . but the gag in the love guru come in three flavor represent racist and gross and infantile and and in various mixture thereof . the racist name he come up with ( harenmahkeester and satchabigknoba ) be the sort of thing an ignorant ten year old kid would come up with to make the other ignorant ten year old kid in the playground laugh . yes and isn not it hilarious that indian people all have big long name . the rest of the atrocity be fill with other dodgy name like coach cherkov and dick pant and as well a allege joke about snot ball and nose hair and hump elephant and food prepare to look like genitals and and bucket of urine all of which probably would have sound funny in 1988 in the writer brainstorm session in the snl office at 3am when youre dope up on caffeine and but i honestly can not believe that a 45 year old man write this crap down in 2008 and think this would be funny in any other circumstance . and the execution of these so call gag be almost consistently accompany by myers with the same sort of mug grin to the camera that he perfect with wayne campbell and austin power the difference here be that those other character have moment where they really be humorous and but see myers try it with pitka be akin to watch an inept magician fail every trick and but still take a rehearsed bow after each one and oblivious to the negative reaction he get from his audience . and bad and he drive the joke so deep into the ground and again and again and you expect them to bump into hilary swank pilot her subterranean machine around the earth core . and the storyline carry these non gag and like the sore on the back of a leper and be just as awful represent a guru seek fame and a spot on oprah counsel a canadian hockey player who want to win back his wife from a rival and jacques le coq grande and who apparently be well endow ( get it . le coq grande . ) . another lesson to learn and mike represent sport theme aren not funny . canadian sport theme aren not funny and cubed . it may give you the chance to hang about with your hero and but it a waste of time for the rest of u . some have try to point out the satire in pitka self help philosophy and but satire only work when it make a point and and doesn not just appear indistinguishable from the target it allegedly satirize . in case i haven not make it clear and this be a bad film . not so bad it good and like the oxford murder ( 2008 ) . this be embarrass on level i haven not see in age . some bad movie have people in it who can rise above the mediocrity and but this one be like quicksand and suck people down and suffocate them . and i be not talk about the like of verne troyer and jessica alba and justin timberlake and who be basically employee who probably need the money and or the cameo from oprah and val kilmer . i be talk about ben fking kingsley . how do a respect oscar winner go from play gandhi to play guru tugginmypudha .
