you know I really had no desire to see this movie. But I saw a couple clips of it up on the NY Times website and I was chuckling pretty good. I want to see it now, though I'm sure it won't sustain itself for the whole movie I'm sure.
I find the whole eastern mystic guru conceit pretty funny, and Myers is pretty good with ethnic caricatures: they're usually done in a hilarious but respectful or loving way... if that makes any sense. His performance in those few clips was pretty funny.
There's been a couple good films lately exploring the 'clash' between India and Western civilization... 'The Guru' with Heather Graham was pretty good a few years back.
