Okay, now that the LOVE GURU is officially the first unmitigated disaster of the summer, will Hollywood finally...STOP LETTING MIKE MYERS MAKE MOVIES?
The votes are in. Mike Myers is not funny. Certainly not anymore. If anything, he’s sad, bordering on pathetic. Did anyone see the trailer for the LOVE GURU and not cringe? Not
since Pat Boone recorded an album of heavy metal has a celebrity humiliated himself more.Not that Myers was ever original but at least with AUSTIN POWERS he found a successful schtick, proving conclusively that dumb luck does exist. And in true Mike Myers form he beat the schtick to a bloody death. Just as he had done with his WAYNE’S WORLD character.
Back to the trailer – it was horrifying. There he was again, mugging, claiming a 60’s theme persona for what, the fifth time now? Crotch jokes. Bodily fluid jokes. Juvenile. Reeking with desperation. And he even has the gall to bring back Mini-Me for a new round of tasteless midget jokes.
This was worse than 70 year old Bob Hope in a Beatles wig chasing after Brooke Shields.
STOP LETTING MIKE MYERS MAKE MOVIES!
The guy gets exposure on the AMERICAN IDOL finale and STILL no one wants to see his crapburger.
The LOVE GURU was trounced at the boxoffice by GET SMART. So what’s the message, Mike? I think it’s this:
America still loves comedies. America still loves spy spoofs. America just doesn’t love YOU!!
So please, just step aside. And take Dane Cook with you.
Thank you. I feel much better now.
