The Love Guru

Who: Jaclyn
What: The Love Guru
Where: AMC Pleasure Island
Why: Hello, there's hockey in it! Who needs another reason?

Ok, here's the deal: Go into it with an open mind, don't expect Oscar winning performances and revert back to being 15 and this is a great movie!

It's very slow at first but starts to pick up quickly. Mike Myers plays Guru Pitka, who's hired by the owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs (Jessica Alba) to help get their star player, Darren Roanoke back on track after he "breaks up" with his wife, who is now coincidentally sleeping with Jacques "Le Coq" Grande (Justin Timberlake) who plays for the Los Angeles Kings.

Guru Pitka must help Darren through many personal hurdles so that he can get back together with his wife and win the Stanley Cup. It's just all around hilarity in my opinion. The jokes are sometimes right there and sometimes subtle. There is a fantastic Wayne's World reference as well.

There were many cameos in this movie and they're all equally funny. I definitely recommend this movie for laughs!

Hey, hey now... You'd best be booing the Kings only because JT was on the team in this movie! :)
