Summary
A love guru, played by Mike Myers, is tasked with restoring a hockey team that has fallen on hard times due to personal issues.
This is the film that killed Mike Myers’ career, this is the film that potentially stopped us from ever having a Shrek 5, if that doesn’t make you hate this film I don’t know what will.
How Mike Myers and everyone else involved could ever have thought this film would be funny is beyond me. Not only is the lead a culturally appropriated stereotype, but every joke in the film is so deeply juvenile and crass you would be surprised that it wasn’t written by teenagers.
Worse yet this film really struggles with knowing when it is time to let a joke end, and repeats the same unfunny jokes over and over again hoping in vein that it might suddenly become funny, sadly no such luck, instead you are driven to the point of irritation.
Somewhat bafflingly Myers, who even in his worst films is still likeable, manages to be totally unlikeable here and often comes across as feeling smug whilst on-screen. I guess he was just so certain that this film was going to be a huge hit that he just got ahead of himself.
Overall, there exists a universe out there where this film never got made and we got a Shrek 5 instead.
Pros.
It’s at least short
Cons.
It’s not funny
It is repetitive
Myers isn’t likeable
The side characters are boring cliches

I’m actually glad they didn’t make a ‘Shrek 5.’ I loved 1 and 2 but 4 was just overkill.
