Loving the Love Guru
First off, I want to apologize for my lack of posting lately but I am in the middle of my move to London so bear with me.
Rarely do I have a snort -laugh-till-I-cry comedy moment, but the Love Guru takes the cake of all the summer comedies that I have seen so far. Not only is it sprinkled with the typical Mike Myers goofy antics that we enjoyed with Austin Powers, but it also makes fun of all the Bollywood films as well as having some political humour as well.
Don't expect complex plot here, it's basically an Indian Austin Powers, except they have more singing and dance numbers, but that's what you love about Mike Myers. If you want a complex comedy , you won't find it here. However you will find loads of pop culture references as well as lines that you will probably hear for the next year or so.
The film follows the oddball antics of a love guru who is " second behind Deepak Chopra" he follows a " drama " ( tm) philosophy and is recruited by a hockey team to help the hockey star to get back his mojo. The hockey player's wife is now with his rival, played hilariously ( albeit a little too over the top) by Justin Timberlake. Of course there are numerous returning actors as well as some hilarious cameos ( including Mike Myers and Kanye West, a little wink to the Katrinka debachle)
For some roaring laughs and a good summer time I highly recommend this movie.
