Not ga-ga over Guru? me neither.
I'm sorry, but The Love Guru loves really, really stupid.And not just because I'm a Kings fan, although I'm not particularly excited
to see the franchise trounced by the Toronto Maple Leafs for the Stanley Cup, even if it is a Hollywood pipe dream.
No, Mike Myers' latest movie simply doesn't look funny. Not funny enough to be released in the middle of the summer, that's for sure.
I'm all for hockey movies, and I'll give any comedy a spin. But this one just looks uncomfortably awful. Mostly because I like Mike Myers. He seems to have hit that wall that some of his SNL co-horts have been experiencing.
Will Ferrell's last movie, Semi-Pro, came and left with little fanfare, and I fear that will be the same case with his new flick, The Step Brothers. Adam Sandler's Zohan movie? Pass. Tina Fey's Baby Mama? Meh. I love Tina, but not enough to fork over 20 bucks.
Don't get me wrong. I'm going to go see Guru. At a matinee. In a different neighborhood where no one recognizes me. But only because I'd be a hypocrite if I sat here and blasted a movie I haven't seen. I'm all about providing
a well-balanced blog here in Hockeywood. I'll report back later with a complete report.
