The Love Guru 2008  PG-13, 87 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Marco Schnabel
Cast: Mike Myers, Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake, Romany Malco, Verne Troyer, Meagan Good, Manu Narayan, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Jim Gaffigan, Ben Kingsley, Omid Djalili, Telma Hopkins, Jessica Simpson, Deepak Chopra
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.

Raccoon RJ (voice of Bruce Willis) makes the mistake of pilfering food from a hibernating bear that wakes up. RJ will be spared IF he replaces all that he had stolen. He heads out to find a human settlement and, as he approaches a new subdivision, he comes across a group of assorted animals (with familiar voices). To help him in getting food, he tells them that if they go "over the hedge" and into the humans' town, there will be unlimited food. But there are some humans (also with familiar voices) who want no part of the four-legged critters. Fun for all. 1 User Review
