BREAKING: LOVE GURU ONE-SHEET FEEDS MILLIONS IN WAR-TORN LIECHTENSTEIN

As a perplexed principality scrambles to account for evidence of 900,000 undocumented citizens and an actual war, the rest of us can sit back and gaze upon the flash-bulb tinged splendor of this first poster for Mike Myers's latest, less-than-brilliant homage to the late and very, very brilliant Peter Sellers.
The Love Guru is about an American child named Pitka whose upbringing in an Indian ashram prepares him for life as one of those self-help kooks. Pitka's expertise is called upon to help resolve marital discord between Darren Roanoke, the star center of the Toronto Maple Leafs (Romany Malco), and his wife. When Roanoke's wife takes up with Jacques Grande (Justin Timberlake), a rival player from the Los Angeles Kings, the Maple Leafs' star falls into a slump. The only way for the Leafs to salvage their season is for Pitka to reunite Roanoke with his wife. I'm already in stitches.
If Myers is able to regenerate interest in the struggling National Hockey League with The Love Guru, I'll kneel toward Winnipeg and worship it daily. Even if it's worse than Slap Shot 2.
In case you're blind, The Love Guru hits theaters on June 20th, 2008.

What's with the Mike Meyers hate? Are "So I Married an Axe-Murderer," "Wayne's World" (1 and 2), and "Austin Powers" not classics? Did "Cat in the Hat" really offend that many people? Did anyone even see it? Doesn't he kinda deserve the benefit of the doubt?

Mentioning Myers in the same sentence as Peter Sellers is just... so wrong.
I like Romany Malco as the star of a hockey team. Actually, the film sounds like it could be semi-funny if it weren't for Myers.

I'll go against the grain, and predict this movie's going to be big. Myers has spent enough time in the wilderness for the distaste of the Austin Powers sequels to dissipate. And say what you will, but the guy knows how to craft a successful comedic character. (He also is unparalleled at running them into the ground, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt on a first movie).

"Wayne's World 2" sucked. I hope this is better than "Mystery, Alaska" and/or Holy Man".

Wayne's World 2 has Walken and Heston. Enough said. Underrated.
