An average movie

With ‘The Love Guru’, Mike Myers was hoping to make his great come-back with a new character which would be hopefully as popular as Wayne Campbell , Austin Powers or even Shrek but, unfortunately, the whole thing turned out to be a disaster, arguably even one of the worst movies ever made and even a small cameo in ‘Inglourious Basterds’ won’t manage to save the damage concerning Mike Myers' career. Anyway, way before all this, exactly 20 years ago, Myers showed up in this movie just after making ‘Wayne’s world’. It is nowadays pretty much forgotten which is not really surprising since it was really good at all but, at least, it wasn’t as awful as ‘The Love Guru’. To be honest, the whole thing had some potential and, actually, at some point, Woody Allen himself considered playing the main character and Sharon Stone was actually cast as his wife before she dropped out. I mean, with those two actors, it would have been much more interesting but with Mike Myers and Nancy Travis instead, the whole thing became much more bland and less edgy and, with them, you don’t feel much tension and what remains are some pretty lame jokes. To conclude, even though I have seen worse, it remains a disappointing dark comedy and it is not really worth a look, I’m afraid.
