The Love Guru Gets Plenty of Bad Reviews

June 20, 2008 by Gilad  

The Love Guru is finally out and what seemed to be an exciting production from the brilliant mind of Mike Myers seems more and more like a flop…

While the movie only came out today, media outlet have been posting their reviews in the past couple of days and things don’t look good. Maybe we should go see Anne Hathaway on Get Smart rather than Jessica Alba on The Love Guru.

Here are what some sites had to say:

NPR’s Marco Schnabel writes: “Austin Powers and Shrek have nothing to worry about — but unsuspecting audiences sure do.” He adds that regardless of the participation of Stephen Colbert, Ben Kingsley and John Oliver “None of them — not one, not for a moment — is remotely funny.”

The Chicago Tribune says: ‘The Love Guru’: No enlightenment, few laughs

The Houston Chronicle writes: Little to love in Myers’ Guru

PennLive.com asks: Where’s the Love?

Empire Movies says that while 80% of people did not give the movie a chance, he went to watch it with an objective mind. However, even that didn’t help because “Mike Myers could not save this movie. The Maple Leafs winning The Stanley Cup could not save it. I’m not even sure if Jessica Alba would have flashed those perfect breasts of hers that “The Love Guru” could have been saved. It’s that bad.

Other headlines read Can’t love this ‘Guru’, “Love Guru” not so deepak and There’s nothing to love about Myers.

Co-Stars Praise Jessica Alba

June 17, 2008 by Gilad  

Mike Myers have literally spent a couple of years (if not more) preparing for the filming of the movie The Love Guru but nothing prepared him for working with Jessica Alba.

During the movie’s premiere, Myers said “She would come to set and there would be audible gasps from all of us. I was like … wow.”

But it wasn’t only her beauty which captured his attention but also her inside. “Jessica Alba is not only one of the most down-to-earth, she is one of the loveliest people that I have ever met, she’s one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Another co-star, Romany Malco, could not control himself around her. “Jessica’s so easy it’s crazy, because she’s so down and easy that she’s really approachable,” he said. “When I first met Jessica I just started rambling. We just rambled for hours.”

Mini-Me, Verne Troyer, Talks Love Guru

June 15, 2008 by Gilad  

Verne Troyer (aka Mini-Me) shows in The Love Guru that he is more than just a ‘one character man’. He is funny, charming (?) and over all he gives Mike Myers a good round for his money.

In a recent interview with the NYDailyNews, Verne opened up about his days on his life on “The Surreal Life,” voice-overs, and most importantly about The Love Guru.

Q: You clearly have a very similar and silly sense of humor to Myers. Are there any jokes you ever object to?
A: Not really. The way I look at it is, it’s a movie. You’ve got to be able to have fun with it and laugh at it. If it were outside the movie, yeah, some of that stuff would be insulting.

Q: Do people in your community ever give you grief for appearing in a film where Myers refers to you as a Keebler elf, or pretends you’re an Oscar statue?
A: Like I said, get over it. I’m sorry; it doesn’t offend me. Why should it offend you?

Q: My favorite scene in “The Love Guru” is where Myers, Alba and others come to your office for a meeting and it’s scaled down to your size, so they’re sitting on tiny couches and their heads scrape the ceiling.
A: We used that set for a lot of interviews I did, with reporters sitting on the small couch while I sat at the desk. When I walk into that room, it’s like stepping into a different world.

On working with Myers, Jessica Alba said:

It was fun; it was so much fun — you know, going to work and not really knowing how that day is going to go, and it being so unpredictable, and you fly by the seat of your pants — that is most fun to me. Whether it be in comedy or drama or whatever, and you know, certainly in comedy, it keeps the energy up and keeps it interesting.

On the topic of love Jessica said:

In the matter of love. Well, you definitely need to be on the path of loving yourself before you are capable of sharing your life or your heart with anyone else. And I think a lot of people look for love to validate themselves or to lose themselves in, you know, putting themselves second, and it’s easy to get lost in a relationship. But you have to love yourself first before you’re even ready for that kind of thing.
