The Love Guru

THE LOVE GURU (2008) - June 18, 2008
Oh, the humanity. This was an awful film -- about a guru who is recruited by the Maple Leafs to help their star player get back together with his wife, this was a bad, terminally unfunny film. The humour isn't even hit and miss -- it's all miss, no hit. I don't think I've sat this stone-faced in front of a movie since Schindler's List. Some comedies aren't necessarily laugh-out-loud funny, but manage to get by on charm and the likability of the characters. This film is essentially just series of gags (most revolving around balls or similarly scatological humour), so the complete absence of laughs means it's essentially worthless as a piece of entertainment. *
