negative · AI labelView post →Nothing in life will be greater than when my stepdad put on a DVD he burned of “The Love Guru” but some kind of encoding error had randomly intercut that movie with scenes from Charles Bronson’s “Death Wish”.
neutral · AI labelView post →So like if we’re just counting his big starring roles…it’s Austin Powers, Shrek, Wayne’s World, Cat in the Hat, The Love Guru, and Axe Murderer. He WROTE every Austin Powers and Wayne’s World. The only other movie he wrote being…the Love Guru, okay I get the disappointment now.
neutral · AI labelView post →Age yourself with a movie you saw in theaters. I’ll admit, this wasn’t my favourite movie to watch, but thankfully it’s not as bad as The Love Guru lol
negative · AI labelView post →95. The Love Guru 🎥 | 1️⃣ ok yeah that's a career-ending movie 2 / 10
negative · AI labelView post →Ah, that episode the episode's writer, Michael De Luca, was mostly a film producer, and has produced some truly stinky films like the Nic Cage Ghost Rider film and The Love Guru, aka the horribly racist movie that annihilated Mike Myers' career
neutral · AI labelView post →The Love Guru what a classic film
positive · AI labelView post →I can't believe I missed out on the hit movie film The Love Guru starring Mike Myers (RIP) tearing apart my friend group.
neutral · AI labelView post →Name a movie a lot of people hate, but that you love and defend. The Love Guru. Its Mike Myers doing Mike Myers stuff and the Leafs win the Stanley Cup.
positive · AI labelView post →This Oscar-winning film starring Mike Myers is finally being added to the Criterion Collection. What a blessing! Let’s pray The Love Guru is next.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's the dumbest movie, and yet I laugh my ass off every single time I watch it...The Love Guru. I believe it even won Raspberry awards for worst picture, actor, and screenplay. LOL
neutral · AI labelView post →They should make a "Halloween" movie but instead of the plodding horror of Michael Myers, it's Mike Myers and he's promoting "The Love Guru 2"
neutral · AI labelView post →The Love Guru. I actually got angry with the movie for its idiocy and laziness. A lot of people think it wrecked Mike Myers career. I'm one of them.
negative · AI labelView post →My barber—yes, the guy who can’t pronounce “Fredo” correctly: - loves Chris Pratt’s Mario - seems legitimately mad they haven’t made another Austin Powers movie - thinks the Love Guru was one of the funniest movies of all time
neutral · AI labelView post →FWIW, my sitar teacher also taught Mike Myers how to play for the 2008 movie "The Love Guru." The former told me that Myers was a natural and had a great capacity to learn and to retain instrumentation training. I've never got around to actually watching that movie, though.

negative · AI labelView post →30. The Love Guru is a 2008 romantic comedy film directed by Marco Schnabel in his directorial debut. It was written and produced by Mike Myers. The film follows Pitka, a guru who is tasked with revitalizing the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. Myers came up with the concept of a Guru character in t

negative · AI labelView post →I don’t know why I listened to the Love Guru episode of Blank Check. I’ve never seen the movie but the trauma of those weeks in Toronto lives on.
neutral · AI labelView post →I know The Love Guru is a generally hated movie but it has two notable bright spots: 1. Jim Gaffigan and Stephen Colbert as the hockey announcers 2. John Oliver playing a character named Dick Pants
neutral · AI labelView post →Schitt's Creek: (discussing horror movies) "My boyfriend took me to a Michael Myers movie and I never recovered" "Not the Love Guru??" Omg the writing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Found The Love Guru thrifting this weekend; $1. My friend & I watched it last night. My god, what an experience. I admit, I immediately started it from the beginning & fell asleep to it (what’s wrong w/ me, idfk). Is it SO bad, the glimmers of good seem genius? Like a shitty high school poem? Help!!
neutral · AI labelView post →Hmm… “Wayne’s World”? Oh wow, it’s like The Master of Disguise and The Love Guru made a movie together! Freaking epic
neutral · AI labelView post →#Splatterday Krishna looks like a cross between Emo Philips and the Love Guru. That's what makes this a horror film.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm a RAZZIE member. Saw so many bad movies but the absolute worst movie I ever watched in a theater was Jack and Jill--the only movie that grand slammed all the RAZZIES at our 2012 ceremonies.Honorable DIS-Mentions are The Love Guru, Dirty Love, Shanghai Surprise and Superman IV.
negative · AI labelView post →I had a friend convince that this movie was good and it was literally one of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever seen I'd rather Mike Myer's the Love Guru again over watching that
negative · AI labelView post →"Oh monkeys paw, I wish for a movie with no transmisogyny" A single finger on the monkeys paw curls A DVD copy of the 2008 sport/comedy 'The Love Guru' with Mike Myers, Jessica Alba, and Justin Timberlake is mysteriously delivered to my door.
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay so when I saw this movie I had to chaperone two other Christian teens on a date that made me sit in the middle while they trembled with desire for each other. All while we watched The Love Guru. It was the worst day of my life.
negative · AI labelView post →45 - Rob Blake Blake played defence 20 years for 3 teams. He was a 7x All-Star, and even though he spent most of his time as a King, 3 of those All-Star years were with the Avalanche where he also won the Cup in ‘00-‘01. He appeared in the Mike Myers movie The Love Guru (‘08).
neutral · AI labelView post →I wouldn't mind a fourth Austin Powers movie. Especially after whatever the hell The Love Guru was.
negative · AI labelView post →Anybody remember the movie The Love Guru? What the fuck was going on there huh? We just let Mike Myers do that?
negative · AI labelView post →Now, some would say The Love Guru is the worst Paramount film ever but I think it’s 1961’s Konga. www.imdb.com/title/tt0811...
neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched The Love Guru for the first time (late to the party) and didn’t realize the title character is has no arc and the movie is about ice hockey.
negative · AI labelView post →Time to talk about The Drama! There was a lot to chew on here but first @benverschoor.bsky.social and I have to barrel through The Love Guru, a weak tearjerker, and a space film that is the tonal opposite of this year's darling. miseenscreen.libsyn.com/episode-39-t...
neutral · AI labelView post →If you watch the Love Guru Movie - that’s a joke in there - But not exactly explained 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →Other than Btent Spiner being buried in yet another God awful film he tried to escape with his dignity... WTF would anyone see in Master of Disquise??? I rather try to sit through The Love Guru. At least you can enjoy watching Myers destroy his career.
negative · AI labelView post →The film was released on my 6th birthday,...and I was there for the premiere. What a way to celebrate myself being old enough to enter my first numbered school grade. Better this than The Love Guru, I guess (man - 2008 was a lousy year for Summer comedies, huh?).
neutral · AI labelView post →Battlefield Earth (2000) Mario Brothers movie (the old one) Norbit (2007) The Love Guru (2008) Does anyone else have any other movies they can reccomend? I love cinema
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm so glad The Love Guru killed Mike Meyers' career of "what if I just spend an entire movie doing bits that aren't that good"
negative · AI labelView post →He did appear in the Love Guru, so maybe being remembered for a mediocre Hollywood film instead of Gandhi isn't the worst timeline.
neutral · AI labelView post →I respect your honesty, but even as a young kid i was not a big fan of it... Though no movie of Mike Myers was anywhere near as worse as The Love Guru...
negative · AI labelView post →What? You actually bought the message from the guy whose last feature film was THE LOVE GURU?
neutral · AI labelView post →Jack and Jill (2011) - 2/10 About as bad and unfunny as The Love Guru, except there's some silver lining in watching Al Pacino playing very seriously such a weird role in such a terrible film. If you've watched this you'll know the real villain is Katie Holmes' enabling behaviour towards Jill.
negative · AI labelView post →The Love Guru (2008) - 1/10 A pathetic attempt at comedy, a gigantic excuse for making a paycheck film that is incredibly unfunny and offensive for many reasons. One random good laugh still doesn't make this movie worthy of a watch.
negative · AI labelView post →Basically how I would have done it is that the reason why Gum taken over is because Nibblet from the Korn episode of South Park would have created his own sequel to The Love Guru (my least favorite film) to get me to declare that all entertainment dead
neutral · AI labelView post →Hey @allisonpregler.bsky.social I think you and Phelan have stumbled on a new bad movie genre, the awful non-SNL movies of former SNL stars. With Master of Disguise and Cat in the Hat. I’m hoping you and Phelan will do The Love Guru next. Love Movie Nights.

neutral · AI labelView post →Never forget that it can sometimes be cheaper to get a physical copy of a movie than to digitally rent one. Case in point: we got a DVD copy of The Love Guru for $1 instead of renting it for $3.99. Season 3 prep continues.
neutral · AI labelView post →The closest the #leafs have come to winning the Stanley Cup since 1967, was in Mike Myers' hugely disappointing THE LOVE GURU. But hope springs eternal so as a new season dawns, Reviving Reel Toronto looks back on how the movie used the city's locations. davidfleischer.substack.com/p/where-the-...

negative · AI labelView post →Wait, Ben Kingsley is in that Young Washington movie? Damn, he must be struggling financially if he agreed to appear in this dreck. But then again, he was also in The Love Guru and BloodRayne, so maybe he's just really terrible when it comes to picking good scripts.
