Love “The Love Guru” at What The Jorge?

$Mike Myers in \$

“The Love Guru” opened on Friday to the kind of reviews usually reserved for movies starring Larry the Cable Guy, not to mention an embarrassing 4th-place finish. Perhaps no one sunk the knife deeper than A.O. Scott in “The New York Times” who called it, “an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again.” Wonder if Myers turned and mugged for the camera after he read that one.

So this begs a few questions, the key one being…what the hell happened? Did Mike Myers suddenly become unfunny? Did our collective taste change? Is his new comic creation a little too familar (I’m going with this one)? Or is Justin Timberlake to blame?⁽⁽¹⁾⁾

Oh let’s give Justin a break. He isn’t comletly hopeless when it comes to being in movies, but I know it’s hard to take him seriously after dancing around like a buffon in ‘NSync and all the diva-esque behavior when it comes to spilling about Jessica Biehl (come on, if I was banging her, I’d brag!) I don’t think Justin’s factor had much say in the movies bust, if anything…it helped with it’s success.

As for Mike Myers, after “Austin Powers” there’s really no way to top that.

What it might have something to do with is that fact that gas costs $4.00 a gallon and you need to take out a mortgage on your house to see a movie. One ticket alone is around $9.00, not to mention popcorn costs just as much and you can’t go to a movie and not get popcorn! Major oil companies must be taking fractional ownership over the movie buisness! Ah!
