[@C.V317]

I will say this for Mike Myers and this movie. The movie was terrible, Myers admitted as much, and he mostly disappeared to reassess his career. He didn’t try to make a sequel to bank off the reputation of the first like James Nguyen. He doesn’t have a Mariah Carey-esque rider forbidding people from mentioning the movie. He didn’t make a Shyamalan style movie about how he’s a misunderstood genius in his field. And he hasn’t gone after critics of the movie with Rob Schneider fury. Nope, he made a mistake, admitted such, then quit while he still had a semblance of a good name. And that’s the classiest thing a Razzie nominee or winner can do.

[@MegaMagicdog]

Admitting failure is admirable. Better still when the nominee shows up to collect their Razzie! Remember Halle Berry getting hers for Catwoman?

True, at least his reaction to this movie's reception showed he had some class (although not too much because he is widely known for being very demanding and rude while filming and overall not a nice person). Also, since you mentioned Shrek, these are actually some good movies. Even the sequels. Yeah, I said what I said.

[@ScorpionFlower95]

Seltzer-Berg movies are the worst thing that ever happened to parody movies. They essentially killed the genera. Airplane, these movies are not. Airplane still holds up today as the poster child for the parody movie, and it still holds up today. All Seltzer-Berg films do is pop culture references. And that's it. That's the joke. They're a one trick pony. Airplane also has some pop culture parody in there. But here's the thing. They wrote all kinds of non-pop culture comedy in there, that works and still holds up. The Seltzer-Berg movies have NONE of that other comedy in there. It's like they saw Airplane and completely missed all the reasons that it was funny and is still funny. Seltzer-Berg movies completely lack comedy completely if you aren't familiar with the stuff that they're referencing. You can't say the same for a movie like Airplane. It's still funny regardless if you don't know some of the references.

[@spaceace4387]

Another reason why Airplane was funny was because the characters were saying the most absurd shit ever with a straight face, in Seltzerberg movies they go way too far over the top (as if they are trying to tell the audience: THIS IS FUNNY (which is isn't)).

I’m also so sick and tired of people defending movies like “disaster movie”, “meet the Spartans” etc. because “they’re meant to be stupid, it’s a parody”. Just because something is a parody doesn’t mean you have to make it stupid, while on the topic, thank you for saying disaster movie was worse because I agree, it’s not only worse than the other nominees, but in seltzerberg’s entire filmography, my brother wanted to do a recorded audio commentary for fun and we would mock the film rifftrax style, but the microphone he had made our voices too soft so we had to record the audio multiple times…as a result I had to watch the movie four times in a row, and each rewatch I hated it more and more. So yes, “Disaster Movie” should have won the award, to me it would be like if instead of “Jack and Jill” winning worst picture they picked one of the other nominees, nothing came close. At least “Jack and Jill” won that award so there some justice in the world

[@Malkmusianful]

Seltzerberg's filmography desperately wants to be Better Off Dead so much that they, like that unnamed fat dude who played the creepy nerd in Better Off Dead, missed the point as to why it worked in the first place. The absurdity of it all reminds us at all times that while, yes, everything is exaggerated, it still plays with a real-life issue. It's designed to be as pitch-black as it can be while amping up the goofy factor. Very much the Rob McIlhenney/Danny DeVito playbook.

This movie makes Mike Myers' The Cat in the Hat look good.

[@michaelstrong5383]

The Happening was released in the same year, and that was way funnier than Love Guru & Seltzerberg.

[@jeremyusreevu237]

Schindler's List is funnier than Seltzerberg.

[@jbvader721]

In my best Mark Whalberg impression: "What?! Nooo!

[@LaineMann]

“You hear it too right?” Um, yeah Sean. That’s the joke. 🤣

[@christianbuffum-robbins8904]

I remember seeing trailers for this. I was a tween and even I though it was appalling.

[@chasehedges6775]

You were smart.

[@chasehedges6775]

I’m glad I never saw this movie

[@francescaellis9863]

Yeh think I was like 20-21, yo. I just never got round to seeing it. 👍

[@sarademoor]

Made my day! I so enjoy these reviews. From the disclaimer to the end credits. Great work as always! :D

[@nicwinsteadart5330]

I love the sad introspective music you have during this whole video playing in the background like it's some sort of thought piece art-house indie film. When it's just Mike Myers putting a gun under his career's chin and pulling the trigger.

[@VirgoMEP]

U have been at this for over 10 years your lack of enthusiasm is understandable

[@JoeCool7835]

Anyone desperate enough to see more of the "jokes" who have enough sense not to watch the actual movie should check out Film Brain's review. It's an old one but one of his best videos.

[@pushon10]

Yeah, he is so good at explaining why bad comedy films aren't funny

[@JustinCoasters]

I'd argue Shadow Man was his best review

[@SlenWash]

I'd argue Breaking Wind

I prefer this review, thank you, because at least Smeghead doesn't have an ungodly unbearable voice that sounds like he went through puberty twice and never left it, and at least he doesn't blow up at the elephant sex scene because anything related to sex sets him off (along with Mr. Enter and Oancitizen), and I know for a fact that not all asexuals are like that. And at least Smeghead isn't some snot-nosed brat who thinks he's the British Roger Ebert when he started reviewing films (and before that wrote film reviews) when he was still in high school. Film Brain has been a poser since the very beginning.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

Its odd how I never seen a single DVD and VHS copy of this film........and I see why.

[@HD_Segal]

VHS tapes were practically obsolete by 2008. You might be thinking of Blu-Ray.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

@@HD_Segal Fair enough

[@triggeredcat120]

I'm glad this channel was on my recommended. Absolutely subbed.

[@NightCityDrift]

I respect your opinion and most people agree with you, but straight up I love The Love Guru. As a long time die hard fan Mike Myers the over the top terribleness of everything just makes it all hysterical to me. Like instead of laughing with the movies Jokes I laugh at how nonsensical it all is. I have literally watched this movie before on repeat for weeks and never gotten bored of it. It still has a place in my heart.

[@jeremyusreevu237]

Ah, nice to see more content from you, Mr. Smeghead.

[@chasehedges6775]

He’s great

[@roberttreacy8271]

Another holiday movie next time? Here are my guesses: 1) Santa Claus Conquers the Martians 2) The Nutcracker: The Untold Story 3) Black Christmas (2006)

[@johnnysparkle]

A madea Christmas

[@jeremyusreevu237]

Oh my god, I would love to see Smeghead rip apart the festering Nazi-Imagery filled fever dream that is Nutcracker The Untold Story.

[@sirtalkalotdoolittle]

Myers never moved beyond seventh grade humor.

[@stephendexheimer7914]

Fun fact, a man named Jack Yates was working for a promotional company who had promotional copies of the movie so he burned a full copy of this movie and released it to torrent sites before its theatrical release and was downloaded 85,000 times. He eventually got caught and was sentenced to 6 months in prison, I swear to god this is true

[@davetheriault8384]

The Leafs in the Finals is probably the most (un)believable thing in this p.o.s-looking clusterbomb!

[@davidminor4213]

Against the Kings too. This was pre-2012

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

16:44, I guess not everything from The Love Guru is bad. Like he said, it does have a plot with a Beginning, Middle and End for the Audience to follow, even if the plot isn't great at all. So I'll give The Love Guru a point for at least trying to have a plot with the right type of casting.............sort of.

[@jotaferreira4848]

Man, I LOVE this channel!

[@uniqueheroics2818]

THE TFS HELLSING REFERENCE AT 15:05 JST MADE ME CHOKE HA!!!!

[@grapeshot]

This is the movie that sinked Mike Myers career like the Titanic.

[@thomasphelan9779]

can't you believe in 1982 Ben Kingsley played Mahatma Gandhi and has won many awards for his role? This makes his role in Iron man 3 look more respectable

[@AnikMonette]

I love how Deepak gave people flack for judging the movie by its trailer while defending a movie that he didn't see...😂

[@DiegoHernandez-xt2su]

R.I.P Verne Troyer

[@leewright1]

I remember slogging through the first 20 minutes (I'm rounding up!) of the Love Guru before tapping out. Just painful.

[@superpan218]

Sean, there is one film you've overlooked. There is a film that came out the exact same time as The Love Guru. A film that has the stink of Paris Hilton's vanity, The Hottie and the Nottie. If you haven't seen that film or even heard about it, consider yourself lucky. As far as Disaster Movie is concerned, Friedberg and Seltzer didn't try AT ALL.

[@NJGuy1973]

"The Hottie And The Nottie" was only in US theaters for one week and in only 111 theaters. Not that I take the Razzies seriously, but they shouldn't consider any film that didn't get a wide release.

[@TheAntlionGuard]

I remember seeing ads for this movie CONSTANTLY

[@aluminum3668]

After years of not seeing this channel I refind it right now and immediately we get a call back to his first review of twilight. Damn, hard to believe this guy is the first person I ever followed on the internet. Time flies
