Hollywood Pulls Out All the Action and Comedy Stops for Summer, But Here's a Preview That Asks the Burning Question: Is Any of It Any Damn Good? By Peter Travers


The Love Guru
Opening June 20th


Can you be a superhero without lifting a hand in violence? Mike Myers thinks so — that's why he created Pitka the love guru. Pitka, an American raised by gurus in an ashram in India, heads back home to make it in the self-help game. His first job is to try and reconcile a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey star (Romany Malco) and the wife (Meagan Good) who dumped him for his archenemy on the Los Angeles Kings (Justin Timberlake). Except for voicing the ogre in the Shrek trilogy, Myers hasn't been onscreen since his last Austin Powers film six years ago. Pitka, inspired by Myers' friendship with the late George Harrison, brought him back. Based only on the trailer, prominent Hindu chaplain Rajan Zed fears that the comedy may be "lampooning Hinduism." Myers claims he only wants to shake his sillies out. You be the judge.
