‹ Harley Quinn in The Dark Knight •
Mike Myers has a new movie coming out this summer. It’s called The Love Guru and the basic premise is this: Myers plays an American who as a baby was left at an Indian asram. He grows up to become India’s second-greatest love guru. The Toronto Maple Leafs hire him to help their star player reconcile with his wife so he will play better. Wackiness ensues.
The trailer came out today. I post it not because it blew me away, but rather because it made me question why I ever found Mike Myers funny. The trailer makes this movie look like Austin Powers in India. Same jokes, same Mike Myers physical gags, and even Mini Me. The whole thing just looks tired. Check it out below and let me know if you agree or if I’m just getting grumpy in my old age.
If you’re still interested The Love Guru hits theaters June 20th.

Yawn. You’re right. It’s Austin Powers all over again. Poor Mike Myers. I used to think he was funny. Now it’s just sad.

it’s still funny, but… we’ve seen all this before, so it’s just… less funny. I still think that Myers is great

After watching it again I think it’s a case of my tastes changing, and Mike Myers staying exactly the same. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I’m just not interested anymore
