I am not a Mike Myers fan at all. I can't remember a movie he was in that I actually liked! However I don't know why and I'm sure most of you won't but I actually got a kick out of this movie.

I thought his acting was alittle off trying to be indian and all but the all around movie kept me entertained and laughing every now and then.

Ohh yeah and I almost forgot it revolved alot around HOCKEY!!!
maybe thats another reason why I liked it.

3.5/5

Well, I ran this a few days ago. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it's just not very good. I guess if you really like Mike Myers, bathroom humor, penis jokes, making fun of Indian people, etc. you will find it OK. Many of the jokes are recycled from previous Mike Myers films. None of the other actors seem to have taken their roles seriously, but they really don't have a lot to work with and MM gets most of the screen time. I expect it to go, er, limp after the first weekend as word gets around.

I rate this a 6/6, meaning you will have to drink all of the beers in your six-pack to put you in the right mode to watch this.

Austin Powers/Waynes World rehashed for the umpteenth time. It is a pretty bad movie, but I have to admit there are some scenes that are pretty funny.

This is a "project picture" (submit your marketing ideas and win big prizes!) for I.M.E. That's a sure sign of a crappy movie.
