The Love Guru
Now Showing
The Love Guru stars billion-dollar funny man Mike Myers as the Love Guru. His co-stars, are Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake, and 'Mini-Me' himself, Verne Troyer. The film is a raucous romp lampooning the world of spirituality. It is loaded with laughs, innuendo and the good old-fashioned toilet humor one can only expect (and indeed enjoy) from Myers. This character is not quite as funny as Austin Powers but it is the next best thing. You will leave with a slapped thigh and tummy ache from all the laughter.
