Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn Ya
Back on April 26th– nearly two months ago– I reviewed The Love Guru based on one three-minute trailer shown on NBC. In fact, I seem to remember saying something like it “looks like one of the worst movies to come along in quite a while.”
From the IMDb:
Mike Myers’s The Love Guru , which is being released on Friday, is receiving so many blistering early reviews that Los Angeles Times writer Tom O’Neil, who tracks films up for major awards in his column “Gold Derby,” is predicting that the film may be a shoo-in for the Razzie for worst film of the year.
Slate’s review subtitle on the front page says it all: “Even worse than you thought it would be.”
To paraphrase another godawful comedy featuring another past-his-prime, perpetually infantile, creatively exhausted SNL alumni: You don’t mess with the TPN::Box Office Weekly.
