To PhizzyG, I saw
Wayne's World
about a year after it came out on cable. I should say that I didn't even like it as an "SNL" skit. It really surprised me that I like the second
WW
flick. I saw the first two
Austin Powers
movies some years after they came out. Still haven't seen the third one and I'm not in a big rush to do so neither.

The Love Guru just ahead of the Cat in the hat

The Love Guru
, without question, is the biggest mistake Meyers ever made. At least with
The Cat and 2000the Hat
(as awful as a film that was), it recouped its initial investment (barely) and appealed to children. TLG was a failure of epic proportions, and it did not help that Mike sunk his own money into that as a producer.
I know it is kind of coincidental, but I really compare that film to his Shrek costar's (Eddie Murphy) disaster -
The Adventures of Pluto Nash
. Murphy never quite recovered from that (in terms of live action films) and has been doing his work mainly in voice-overs in the Shrek films, same as Mike. It remains to be seen whether Meyers will make a comeback or not. Maybe the well is just dry as others have said. He's certainly made enough money and entertained millions of people over the past two decades anyway that no one could blame him if he retired. -

I saw it finally this weekend and I would agree that of all Myers' work, it's probaly the worst thing I've seen him in. The only reason I kept watching was because of Myers' momentum. I didn't particularly like his character, and the rest of the cast seemed to only serve as moveable scenery. I think a lot of talent was wasted in this movie. There WERE some very good ideas that also didn't get the right opportunity to mature. If this was done as a straight-up Bollywood spoof, it could have really been something. However the toilet humor proved too much. I've seen the same jokes done by the same actor too many times, and they just weren't funny anymore. Also, many attempts at humor came off either insensitive or just flat-out creepy. A CGI meshing of Myers' head on a kid's body was one of the weirdest things I'd seen in a long time.

Not really watched Cat in the Hat for more than 10-15 minutes. but I can probably excuse him for that one as it was clearly the studio looking to make money on the back on Grinch, and Myers was seen as the alternative to Carrey for this project.
Love Guru I would say is his worst.. I went to the cinema with pretty low expectations due to Timberlake being in it (though have to say his role was nowhere near as big as I was expecting it to be) and also how disappointed I was with Goldmember (was just a case of same old-same old), but it just seemed that Love Guru was based on old jokes with a very weak story to it. -

Cat In the Hat is his worst film.
I'd watch Shrek 3 10x and Austin Powers 3 10x marathoned before Cat In the Hat Again.
Love Guru was horrible but Stephen Colbert's character made his scenes funny. Plus since it was his idea, It only hurt him. Cat In the Hat hurt Dr. Seuss, His Widow, and The Seuss Legacy. -

Oh come one people!
Cat in the Hat was a great family film. Our family has watched it many times and never gets old.
Love Guru was a good film also. I just think people could not get past the looks of the main character. It was good, but a required taste. I honestly did not think I would like this movie, but I did it really surprised me.
I honestly can not think of bad Myers movies. I love Carvey, but his movie career was a disaster. Pretty much anything Myers has done on film has been good.
I just think it was his time. THis type of comedy only goes so long as his main viewers grow up and the younger crowd looks for new comedians.
ZING! -
