Justin Timberlake to star in bad hockey movie
First and foremost, I’m really only posting about Justin Timberlake playing the role of a LA Kings hockey player in an upcoming movie so I can use the words before I introduce a blockquote to have my say on Justin Timberlake the Artist. I don’t know if conventional wisdom says I’m “girlie” if I like his music, but conventional wisdom be damned: I quite enjoy it. Pair up his vocie and stylings with some fresh beats via Timbaland and you’ve just got to be bumping that stuff all day.
I like it. I like it a lot. There, I said it.
Anyways, here’s the plot of the film called “The Love Guru,” which also stars Mike Myers (where have you been, dude?) and Jessica Alba (perhaps the only good part about the movie). From Firstshowing.net:
In the film, Pitka (Myers) is an American who was left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus. He moves back to the US to seek fame and fortune in the world of self-help and spirituality. His unorthodox methods are put to the test when he must settle a rift between Toronto Maple Leafs star hockey player Darren Roanoke (Malco) and his estranged wife. After the split, Roanoke’s wife starts dating LA Kings star Jacques Grande (Timberlake) out of revenge, sending her husband into a major professional skid — to the horror of the teams’ owner Jane Bullard (Alba) and Coach Cherkov (Troyer). Pitka must return the couple to marital nirvana and get Roanoke back on his game so the team can break the 40-year-old “Bullard Curse” and win the Stanley Cup.
Yeah, this is going to be terrible.
Much thanks to Deuce of Davenport for the heads up on this.

Bullard curse? Leafs fans will get the implication…
Wow, that sounds unbelievably awful
As if hockey hasn’t taken enough blows over the past few years now they have this primadonna playing a hockey star. I mean comeon that is offensive to anyone who has ever hit the ice, not to mention that the Kings aren’t even good enough to be in a movie. As far as Jessica Alba being an owner, not likely, maybe a hockey wife but not an owner they are all old assholes. If they really want to impress someone do a remake of “Youngblood,” now that is a hockey movie.
No, noone should ever remake Youngblood. You should take a rising slapper to the teeth for even suggesting it.
Haven’t heard of a movie in the last 10 years with a stupider plot.
Oh common, it’s Mike Myers. The plot is no worse than any Austin Power movie and may be partially based on truth
The only thing I get from reading the plot summary is not to take any of it seriously. This is going to be a silly, stupid, and very funny movie.
Would really like to mock you on this whole JT thing, but I am too old give a flying jack who Timbaland is.
Take a slapper in the teeth huh? Well I have before, and it doesn’t feel too good. But I have given blood, teeth, and all sorts of other things for the game of hockey and don’t really take too kindly to seeing a mockry made of the great sport of hockey.

Hey dude who says the king suck…fuck you
Leafs fans better hope they win the Cup in this movie cuz that’s the only way it’s happening
First of all, nothing was worse than Russell Crowe’s game footage in “Mystery, Alaska” - shooting him from the waist up as he stood on a board that the crew moved back and forth. And I’m not a fan of Justin Timberlake’s music (who asked me?), but after seeing him on SNL, the guy is a talented performer and passes the ultimate test in my book: he has comic timing. “It’s my D*ck in the penalty box,” anyone?
Nice to see a hockey movie. Will it be any good? From the short storylines it’s hard to tell. But it could be fun. Hope to see it by us in Europe to!
“Bullard curse? Leafs fans will get the implication…”
We might… if you could possibly explain who this “Bullard” is…
This sounds like the dumbest movie in the world. I mean c’mon Leafs winning the cup, i laugh seeing the two in the same sentence ,let alone leafs as champs and don’t get me started on that JT kid playing a hockey player i mean gimme a break…!
