<strong>THE LOVE GURU</strong><br>
<br>
<b>Opens:</b> June 20<br>
<br>
<b>Directed by:</b> Marco Schnabel<br>
<br>
<b>Who’s in it:</b> Mike Myers, Jessica Alba, Romany Malco, Justin Timberlake<br>
<br>
<b>What’s it about:</b> To his cavalcade of hipster dolts Wayne Campbell and Austin Powers, Myers now adds Pitka the Love Guru, who’s trying to help a pro hockey player (Malco) come to grips with losing his wife to an NHL rival (Timberlake).<br>
<br>
<b>What’s the big deal:</b> Well, at least, Myers isn’t trying to milk more laughs out of Austin. But isn’t this the point of a “Saturday Night Live” alum’s career where he or she tries to stretch beyond the doofus zone? No matter. This is still the silly season when silly things like this potentially thrive. Besides, Malco and Timberlake could be the real stories here.

What’s it about: To his cavalcade of hipster dolts Wayne Campbell and Austin Powers, Myers now adds Pitka the Love Guru, who’s trying to help a pro hockey player (Malco) come to grips with losing his wife to an NHL rival (Timberlake).

What’s the big deal: Well, at least, Myers isn’t trying to milk more laughs out of Austin. But isn’t this the point of a “Saturday Night Live” alum’s career where he or she tries to stretch beyond the doofus zone? No matter. This is still the silly season when silly things like this potentially thrive. Besides, Malco and Timberlake could be the real stories here.
