THE LOVE GURU trailer hits. It's now Mike Myers' turn to MOVE ON!

Ok, so I just watched the trailer for Michael Myers' first live action movie in five years with The Love Guru and all I can bring myself to wonder is WHY? WHY didn't he just make Austin Powers 4 or a Dr. Evil movie? This Love Guru character is the thinnest alteration of his most famous incarnation Austin Powers. I really don't get what he is trying to do here. He's even got Verne Troyer in there and they are re-doing lines and jokes that Mini-Me and Austin shared together!

Watch the trailer in HD Here. Watch Myers reaction in the opening moments of his first appearance (Dr. Evil like tone of voice, and obligatory facial eyebrow movement). The strange way he can move his legs round the back of his neck (Goldmember from Austin Powers 3). "It's my time to shine" Said in Austin Powers tone. The weird physical humor. "I didn't catch your gnome, NAME!" does that remind you of the "mole" gags in the last Austin Powers movie? Verne Troyer just like Minni-Me gets abused by being hit in the head! Obligatory dance number. and you can go on and on and on. I guess we shouldn't be too surprised when you consider this is the directorial debut of Marco Schabnel, a guy who worked second unit on the last Powers movie and it's co-written by Michael Myers. What a lazy effort this film really is. Myers' accent seems to change with each scene. Jessica Alba... yeah great she can smile. Why not show her doing something else in the trailer? OOOOH, that's right she can't act can she? Justin Timerblake gives the most humourless porn star accent I've ever heard in my life. UP THERE WITH THE PROMO'S FOR THE HOTTIE & THE NOTTIE, THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST TRAILERS I'VE SEEN IN RECENT MEMORY. AVOID THIS ONE ON JUNE 20TH (U.S.) or JULY 18th (U.K.) source - coming soon
