It's hard to believe it now, but Mike Myers' The Love Guru was supposed to be a return to form for the SNL alumnus. Myers had been busy lending his acting talent to voice the beloved green ogre Shrek before The Love Guru's release, with his last major live action role being the dreadful adaptation of Dr. Seuss's The Cat In The Hat playing the title role. With Wayne's World and Austin Powers far in his rear view, Mike Myers made the effort to attempt a triumphant return to his comedic roots. Upon release on June 20th , 2008, media outlets were preparing to give Myers his homecoming parade back to the world of comedy. However, what critics and audiences got from The Love Guru was a dated, needlessly crass and borderline racist piece of cinema which broke the cardinal sin of presenting a cinematic comedy without laughs. Myers seemed to have left his humor back in 1998 and never evolved with the times, causing The Love Guru to feel like a script finished off in the late 90s and left on Myers' shelf for a decade before dusting it off. Based on the contents left on celluloid, The Love Guru probably should have stayed on that shelf. How could a titan of 90s comedy fall so hard on his face?...not in the intentionally funny sort of way mind you.
