Okay, I'm willing to give The Love Guru [1] a huge chance based on the cast alone: Mike Meyers (natch), Romany Malco (Conrad from Weeds [2]!), Justin Timberlake (dressed all funny and bewigged), John Oliver (hilarious British guy from The Daily Show [3]) and Ben Kingsley (funny because of, you know, his Oscar-winning performance as Ghandi [4]). Oh, and Jessica Alba's in it too.
The new trailer for The Love Guru looks silly in the Austin Powers kind of way, though less charming and less humorous. Still, I have sorely missed Mike Meyers in recent years and it's oddly comforting to see him back in action. According to IMDB [5], Meyers plays a guru who travels to the U.S. in the hopes of breaking into the self-help business. "His first challenge: To settle the romantic troubles and subsequent professional skid of a star hockey player (Malco) whose wife left him for a rival athlete (Timberlake)." The Love Guru opens June 20. To check out the trailer and tell me what you think, .
