"I keep forgetting that Mike Myers is not actually playing an Indian in The Love Guru, and yet I’m constantly reminded by the film’s commercials, which show that ridiculous shot of a little kid’s body with Myers’ giant head digitally superimposed onto it. Really, Myers’ character (Pitka) is a white American who is left on the doorstep of an Indian ashram when he’s a child. Then he’s raised as Indian, I guess (or simply Hindu, but then why the accent?). Apparently the character, Pitka, couldn’t simply look and talk like Myers.

The two main characters are Prior Walters (Justin Kirk) and Lou Ironside (Ben Shenkman), a gay couple who has just learned that Prior has AIDS. Other plotlines involves Roy Cohn (Al Pacino), a real-life homophobic lawyer who is actually gay and ill with AIDS, Harper Pitt (Mary Louise-Parker), a Mormon housewife addicted to painkillers, her husband Joe (Patrick Wilson), a Reagon consertaive who is an associate of Cohn's and also a closet bi-sexual (though neither know the ...

"I must admit that I was terribly worried about the film version of Kushner's brutal masterpiece...and then I saw it. It lost absolutely nothing in the translation to the screen. It's still tortured, brilliant, devastating. A must see. "
