Plot: Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco), the star player of the Toronto Maple Leafs, is suffering from stress because his wife, Prudence Roanoke (Meagan Good), has left him for Jacques "Le Coq" Grandé (Justin Timberlake). The stress causes his hand to shake, which affects his hockey performance. Jane Bullard (Jessica Alba) enlists the support of Guru Maurice Pitka (Mike Myers) to help Darren with his stress so that the team can hopefully break their losing streak. In addition to getting a considerable payment, Pitka would be invited to Oprah Winfrey's show, which he hopes would help him become the #1 guru, a place currently held by Deepak Chopra. Pitka succeeds, but feels no need anymore to become #1, more important is his love for Bullard. However, in connection with a vow Guru Tugginmypudha gave him a chastity belt. He returns to him to have it removed. Tugginmypudha agrees that it can be removed now, and explains how to do that; to Pitka's surprise no key is needed.

Personal rating: 7/10
Plain funny with lack of sense. I have no idea what is the Guru's teaching and also have no idea what he is doing. But it is so freaking funny. Those who seeking for action movie or horror movie, hands off. Those who have hard time dealing with humor, back off. Those who are realistically person, forget it. Those who hates comedian, like my parents, just ignore this movie. But, if you share the same personality as I am, love Peter Russel, Ross Noble and random stuff, grab your seat and pop-corn man!!!
Love,
Nichole
