Timberlake... a King?

I'm a big fan of Saturday Night Live, and especially comedian Mike Myers. I must've watched Wayne's World on VHS a trillion times when I worked in the video store. So I Married An Axe Murderer is a cult favorite of mine, and I'll throw down the remote whenever I cross it on cable.

So when I read that Mike was coming out with a new movie featuring his first original character since 2002's Austin Powers film, I was anxious to see what he was going to come up with next.

Turns out, Myers co-wrote and is co-producing The Love Guru, as well as starring as the main character. According to FirstShowing.net, here's the movie's synopsis:

In the film, Pitka (Myers) is an American who was left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus.

He moves back to the US to seek fame and fortune in the world of self-help and spirituality. His unorthodox methods are put to the test when he must settle a rift between Toronto Maple Leafs star hockey player Darren Roanoke (Malco) and his estranged wife.

After the split, Roanoke's wife starts dating LA Kings star Jacques Grande (Timberlake) out of revenge, sending her husband into a major professional skid — to the horror of the teams’ owner Jane Bullard (Alba) and Coach Cherkov (Troyer).

Pitka must return the couple to marital nirvana and get Roanoke back on his game so the team can break the 40-year-old “Bullard Curse" and win the Stanley Cup.

Sounds like Myers is still a little miffed about 1993. Think the Maple Leafs will meet the Kings in the Western Finals in the movie?
