As a boy, Pitka (Mike Myers) had lived with his missionary parents in India but was orphaned and left to be raised by Guru Tugginmypuddah (Ben Kingsley) to become a self-help guru. Of course, the only reason Guru Pitka wanted to become a guru was to meet girls–a fact that provoked Guru Tugginmypuddah to slap a chastity belt on him. Now, Pitka's greatest ambition is to appear on the Oprah show, and he finds the chance when a call comes from Jane Bullard (Jessica Alba), the owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. It seems that their star player Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco) had been cheating on his wife Prudence (Meagan Good), and she has left him for the King's goalie Jacques "Le Coq" Grande (Justin Timberlake). Obviously, this has had an effect on the team, but if Guru Pitka can help Darren win back Prudence, the Maple Leafs may just find the chance to win the Stanley Cup. Even more important to Guru Pitka, he will probably get his chance to appear on the Oprah show after accomplishing his task.
