Myers plays an American raised in India by gurus (Tugginmypudha & Satchabigknoba) and returns to the U.S. in order to break into the self-help business. His unorthodox methods are put to the test when he must settle the romantic troubles and subsequent professional skid of a star hockey player (Romany Malco), whose wife left him for a rival athlete Jacques Grande (Justin Timberlake). Mini Me is back from Austin Powers and plays the hockey coach for more classic comedic moments that will have audiences laughing from opening to closing credits.

Thanks for the info, Jonny. And for my bf's sake, could you provide a link if possible?
Actually to be fair I think I heard it on TV. eTalk Daily probably. That might be a good starting point for a google search. I didn't think so many people would be so amazed to be honest. I thought it was common knowledge..hehe
Y'all know that John Travolta is gay too right?

Whoever blurbed this as "Hysterical!" should stop reviewing movies!

That's what I said when I heard that on the local news. Apparently, that's the reason why he got divorced. I'm sitting smack dab in Toronto and he's apparently been seen out and about with some guy. It's pretty obvious too if you've seen him in interviews.
After showing your initial post to my boyfriend, he set to work trying to find evidence online to back-up what you said, and he found almost nothing save rumors about the whole thing. I did point out that you were from Canada and that perhaps that news would be bigger there than here in the US, but he felt that was irrelevant. He made the same point as mrazrockit, and I told him that was irrelevant.

Can we please see some more dvd artwork. Just kidding. Even the best dvd's don't have this much artwork released.
This was an evil movie. Evil evil evil. The only moderate saving grace was Justin Timberlake, and even his jokes were kinda flat.
This, The Happening, The Ruins and The Mummy are the worst movies of this year.

Justin Timberfake needs to die, he is ugly, annoying and cant act. i never understood what girls see in him. Mike Myers is annoying too. Alba is pretty but talentless....this is Austin Powers but with a diff title...

Been lots of gay men who were married to women. Heck, just look at the recent scandal involving the New Jersey governor, Jim McGreevey. Not that I'm saying Mike's gay, but being married doesn't make you NOT gay. They call it having a beard.

Mike Myers may...or probably is gay, but he hasn't come out.
I enjoyed it and I'll buy it but not the digital copy version. The only digital copies I truly want will never come out.
Oh and as far as I know he is straight but there has been mention of his 'diva-like' behaviour... which isn't the same thing.

mike myers, justin timberlake, and jessica alba? i will avoid this at all matters!!

justin timberlake, i just cant stand him...
and well poor jessica alba, she cant act, although i think her best movie is HONEY, she lost it...

I'll give it a rental...but then again, where is Austin Powers 4??!!?!?
Myers is not gay. He was married and officially divorced last year from his wife... who also realized that he wasn't funny.
This just ended up being a vehicle to rehash tired old Austin Powers jokes...I so wanted to like this when I initially heard about it but utimately, upon finally seeing it, I had to face the harsh reality that it sucked more than a leech-infested vampire with his member stuck in a jacuzzi jet pump...
Myers' reputation is slowing imploding due to poor career choices...and I take no pleasure in watching it happen before our very eyes...

I thought this movie looked awful and I would never waste my money on it 
Why si Jessica Alba a star? She's a beautiful woman, I know, but her movies are awful. The only movies of hers I've enjoyed did not rest on her shoulders, and quite frankly, she is not what I remember most from those movies. (I'm thinking of Sin City and Fantastic Four 1&2)
Look at her last few movies - The Eye, Good Luck Chuck, Awake, Meet Bill, and now this? The woman cannot act!

This really looked like the biggest piece of c**p. I guess the box office numbers show that people avoided this one like it was a plague.

But, at the same time it has Justin Timberlake and Mike Myers, who hasn't been remotely funny since coming out as gay a while back. I don't care what he does, I just want the funny back.
Did I mis-interpret something? Did Mike Myers come out as being gay? When?
I loved the Austin Powers flicks, and am excited that they are in the works for a fourth. The Shrek films are great, and I really enjoyed the first Wayne's World. This, on the other hand, looked horrid from the trailers, and I have no desire to see it at all.

looked like s**t, not picking this up and whats up with the digital copy, what a waste.
As much as i love Jessica Alba, i didn't see this film. I hear it was terrible, i'll rent it then buy it when it is $4.99 at BB
so i just noticed it lists "bloopers" AND "outtakes" as two seperate extras? ummmmm, arent those just 2 different words for the same thing? lol
Rental at best.
I hated this film, glad i only attended the screening in which I payed 0.00
What a waste of Dolby TrueHD on such a terrible picture, DD PLus would've suited just fine for this.

consensus: mike myers should stop acting unless he's on snl, jessica alba is a useless and boring celebrity, justin timberlake should stop acting (including hosting) and just stand there shirtless... without a mustache and verne troyer should get naked and drunk piss from his motorized chair... oh, wait.
Actually, it wasn't really that bad. True, it's not the best thing in the world, but for a 90-minute diversion, there are worse ways to spend your time. Truth be told, Justin Timberlake is the only reason to see this movie - he outshines Mike Myers in every scene.
I'll buy it just for Justin's abs on the cover.
They need to start publishing the entire quote when praising movies. What Jim Ferguson of KGUN 9 ABC really said was, "Hilarious...compared to testicular cancer." Seriously, it sucked.

wow, so literally..the ONLY difference between the 1 and 2 disc is the digital copy? wow, i never thought it would get that bad. the digital copy movies i have all contain extras as well as the digital copy on the disc so i hope they at least dont charge extra for it.
but yeah, this is ridiculous. i realize it IS 2 discs so its not like they lied, but when i hear "2 disc edition" that implies to me that its a 2nd disc with more extras and i'm sure most think that way too.

i know everyone has extremely disliked this movie and i'm not one of those people... i thought it was a decent movie. there have been worse movies like meet the spartans and star wars the clone wars. so im buying the 2-disc so i can get the digital copy
I've always been a Mike Meyers fan with SNL, Wayne's World and Austin Powers...I don't care if he's arrogant on set. I was looking forward to this and Get Smart but then heard terrible things about both. I'll wait til I can rent it...but I still have hope.
I'm not that desperate in seeing this movie. This one would look like a DVD rental to me. But after that, I would just forget about it. Why are they releasing Digital Copies for this film? The studio should know we're not going to make a digital copy for this film, because critics said this one was bad?
Does 'The love guru' really need a 2-disc? I know it's just the digital copy but is that necessary. Well if I like the film I'll pick up the 2-disc.
Terrible movie and quite the flop at the box office.
Who else agrees this is the worst of the 2008 summer movies? This and for me speed racer. I have seen some bads ones but this was trully awful. Even worse than meet dave with eddie murphy
It's really Austin Powers in a different guise.

that's SOOOO annoying and not funny at all.
Only Burt Reynolds was the master of smiling for the camera and it was funny....

I dunno. I saw a preview screening around February-March and it wasn't that bad. I laughed a decent amount. But whatev-I read that Myers is an arrogant, controlling dick, so I don't mind that this bombed. Plus, the previews were really god awful.
Those quotes MUST be taken out of context.
This isn't a film! It's a Holocaust!!!!!
PS - Interestingly enough, I just came back from Russia, where the film was released straight-to-video under the tiled "Sex Guru."

Heard this was terrible. But I'll end up checking it out like I did with Meet the Spartans JUST to see if it's as bad as my imagination depicts.
