The Hate Guru

How did I hate this movie? Let me count the ways...
I can't say I was expecting the launch of a new franchise like "Austin Powers", but this one isn't even worth it as a stand-alone. Either I've aged since Mike Myers last created one of his wacky big-screen characters, or he has lost his touch at doing so.
Other critics are saying the humor is crude and sophomoric, but they at least admit there was humor. I found precious little that was funny. However, I will say that the one or two times I laughed, they were big belly laughs.
Never has a mere hour and twenty minutes seemed so excruciatingly long! Especially, compared to a movie like "Sex & the City" where nearly two and a half hours flew by enjoyably.
Skin Rating = 2 (out of 4). Although Justin Timberlake is awful in his role, he does share with us some nice views of his six pack abs. While we can only imagine his character's, um... "huge talent", nothing about his fine torso is left unseen. (I do have a bone to pick, though. On the poster with JT shirtless, he sports nice, saucer-sized nipples; but, in the movie, they are merely average. Which are real, I wonder?)
