Mike Myers’ big comeback “The Love Guru” is funnier than “Wayne’s World” or “Austin Powers.” Not. If this movie were a president it would be Tedious Roosevelt. My review is here.

Kyle, how can you say this movie should be cut down from 88 to 8 minutes when the teaser trailer itself was too damn long.

HHAHAHA, you said “not” like they used to in Wayne’s World, that was brilliant.
NOT.

Your statement that “Their routine is so brainless that it’s hard to picture anyone enjoying it except those in the same IQ bracket as actual hockey fans, who would probably be equally entertained by an evening spent at home holding a Bic lighter up to their own bursts of flatulence.” Is one of the most assinine, unfounded, and generally ridiculous generalizations that I have ever heard. Shame on you sir. Shame on you.

“Hindon’t.”
Now that’s funny.
Now, serious question time. If Myers’s character had killed some Arab terrorists (a’la Zohan), would it have been funny?
