* \'\'Film/TheLoveGuru\'\' was intended to resurrect Mike Myers\'s acting career following the failure of \'\'The Cat in the Hat\'\'. Instead of accomplishing it, it sank his acting career even further, as the film suffers from overall [[DudeNotFunny unfunny gags]] (including its heavy reliance on penis jokes), wooden acting (made all the worse since it\'s coming from [[WhatTheHellCastingAgency from a naturally good cast]]), and its over-focusing on an unlikable main character at the expense of virtually everyone else. In addition, the film flopped at the box office, making back only $40 million out of its $68 million dollar budget, won the worst picture award as well as receiving the most awards and nominations at the 29th Golden Raspberry Awards, and a 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 24% rating on Metacritic. Mike Myers has regretted starring in the film, as shown in this [[http://www.comingsoon.net/extras/trailers/394253-watch-mike-myers-bring-back-dr-evil-on-snl Saturday Night Live sketch]]. You can watch [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]] tear it down [[http://channelawesome.com/bad-movie-beatdown-the-love-guru/ here]].

Well, I added up and averaged all of the Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and IMDB ratings, and they amount to 25% (21.75% without IMDB rating), both of which fall under the SBIH threshold, so it counts. I also suggest that Strange Wilderness be re-added since its 5.3/10 rating on IMDB excuse holds little water here, and has a laundry list of a lot more cons than pros (as I highlighted above for the reasons why it should be re-added).

With that being said here are my entries for Strange Wilderness and The Love Guru
** \\\'\\\'Strange Wilderness\\\'\\\'. Puerile, obnoxious, and inept in all aspects, the film is a woefully failed attempt at being a {{stoner|flick}} comedy in the likes of \\\'\\\'Film/HaroldAndKumar\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'Creator/CheechAndChong\\\'\\\'. The film is based off a series of independent short videos that parodied animal programs \\\'\\\'a la [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]\\\'\\\', which aired on Creator/ComedyCentral in the 1990s. The plot revolves a group of lazy stoner people who work at a network and run an unsuccessful titular nature program that is threatened with cancellation, so they go on a search to find Bigfoot to restore ratings; it was essentially an excuse [[IdiotPlot to make a film with completely lazy and idiotic people]] who still feel that they have a sense of entitlement. The film doesn\\\'t seem to know its audience (childish plots and humor combined with unsettling violence). Couple these with hopelessly wooden acting (especially it coming [[WhatTheHellCastingAgency from a naturally good cast]]), overall unfunny gags, and you\\\'ve got the kind of film that gets a \\\'\\\'\\\'[[EpicFail 0%]]\\\'\\\'\\\' on Website/RottenTomatoes, a 7th ranking on Rotten Tomatoes\\\'s Worst of the Worst 2009 list (as well as 2nd worst film of 2008), and a 12/100 rating on Metacritic (and being the 30th worst-reviewed film ever). Naturally, all of this led to the film [[BoxOfficeBomb bombing]], making barely one-third of its budget back in ticket sales.
