Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Love Guru is a 2008 comedy film and the first major live action big-screen performance from Mike Myers since the Austin Powers trilogy. It's the story of an American-born but Indian-raised self-help guru named Guru Pitka, whose dream is to surpass the famous Deepak Chopra as North America's number-one, go-to self-help guru. To do this, Toronto Maple Leafs manager Jane Bullard ropes him in to help hockey player Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco), who has been severely shaken since his wife left him for a well-endowed rival, regain his confidence before the big game.It also featured prominent performances from Jessica Alba (as said manager), Justin Timberlake (as the aforementioned rival), Verne Troyer, Stephen Colbert and even Sir Ben Kingsley, but none of it spared this largely scatological comedy from being condemned by both audiences and critics. Despite expectations that the film would revive Myers' career — he hadn't toplined a live-action film since 2003's The Cat in the Hat — it became one of 2008's biggest flops and nominated for a whopping seven Razzies. It won three, for Worst Picture, Worst Actor, and Worst Screenplay.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Bland-Name Product: Not a product, but a person — Harold Ballard (former Maple Leafs owner) becomes Hank Bullard. | |

Author Appeal: Mike Myers apparently made this movie out of his being a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. | |

Ambiguously Gay: Stephen Colbert's color commentator character; almost all of his comments are gay-related Double Entendres. | |

Artistic License – Sports: Many egregious errors in the portrayal of Hockey, like the referee handing out on-the-spot game suspensions, goalies wearing outdated style plastic masks and Guru Pitka having free access to the Toronto bench. | |

Brick Joke: It's established early on that Guru Pitka has a fondness for '70s music arranged in the Bollywood style. The Dance Party Ending song is "The Joker", which wouldn't be especially significant except for it contains the line, 'some people call me Maurice', which is also mentioned early on as Pitka's real name. | |
