Watching The Love Guru (Paramount Pictures) is a spiritual experience of a sort, but not the sort that its creator and star, Mike Myers, intended. This tale of a guru who brings joy to all who meet him is the most joy-draining 88 minutes I've ever spent outside a hospital waiting room. In the course of those long minutes, Myers leads you on a journey deep inside himself, to the source from whence his comedy springs—and it's about as much fun as a tour of someone's large intestine.

You could tell this movie was going to bomb based on the marketing blitz Paramount unleashed upon us. Myers has been absolutely everywhere trying to peddle it, something he did not need to do nearly as much with his previous projects. I'm so happy it's finally in theatres so I won't have to sit through 14 previews of it every time I turn on the TV.
