Product Description ------------------- Pikta, a self-help guru, helps couples with relationship problems. .co.uk Review ------------- Mike Myers ( /gp/search?search-alias=dvd&field-keywords=Mike%20Myers+-ntsc ), creator of Wayne's World and Austin Powers, adds another character to his arsenal of comic personae. With his thick beard, curly mustachios, and easy-to-remember aphorisms, Guru Pitka (Myers) has built a reputation as love advisor par excellence--but he's still just America's #2 guru, after Deepak Chopra. Finally an rtunity comes his way: If he can heal the rift between a star hockey player (Romany Marco, Weeds) and his wife (Meagan Good, Stomp the Yard), he can appear on Oprah. But when he meets the hockey team's comely owner (Jessica Alba ( /gp/search?search-alias=dvd&field-keywords=Jessica%20Alba+-ntsc )), Pitka realises he must solve his own love problems as well. Myers can't resist a good bodily functions joke--unfortunately, he can't resist a bad one either, so The Love Guru is crammed top to bottom with jokes about urine, feces, sex, genitalia--lots and lots about male genitalia--along with many, many gags about Canada, drugs, elephants, inspirational catchphrases, and little people (Vern "Mini-Me" Troyer takes the brunt of these). But the Austin Powers movies were pretty much the same sort of lowbrow comedy grab-bag; though the ratio of good to bad might be weaker here, a good handful of bits offer solid laughs, including some mock-Bollywood musical numbers. Also featuring pop star Justin Timberlake ( /gp/search?search-alias=dvd&field-keywords=Justin%20Timberlake+-ntsc ) (as a preously well-endowed French-Canadian), Ben Kingsley ( /gp/search?search-alias=dvd&field-keywords=Ben%20Kingsley+-ntsc ) (as Pitka's cross-eyed mentor), Stephen Colbert (as a drug-addled sports announcer), as well as numerous celebrity cameos. --Bret Fetzer
