The 5 Worst Mike Myers Movies of All-Time

Mike Myers and his movies have raked in over $2 billion dollars in ticket sales since he left ‘Saturday Night Live’ to pursue a career in film. He has by all accounts been extremely successful. However, Myers has had more than enough horrible movies that have bombed as well. With the horrible box office results and reviews of The Love Guru I decided to put together this list of:

The 5 Worst Mike Myers Movies of All-Time

Movies: The Love Guru

1. The Love Guru - IMDB Rating 4.5 - If you spent $10 bucks to see this film after seeing it advertised shamelessly on ‘American Idol’ then you probably should be submitted to take a psych test. Sometimes the big Hollywood power houses give too much control to stars and their pet projects. The Love Guru should have never been given a green light. Anytime you put Kanye West, Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba and Justin Timberlake on the big screen opposite the eccentric Mike Myers the result becomes inexplicitly predictable.

Released 2008, 88 minutes too long. $14.0 opening weekend.


Movies: The Cat in the Hat

2. The Cat in the Hat - IMDB Rating 3.3 - I am old school and truly believe Dr. Seuss belongs on paper not the big screen. Myers was woefully miscast in this Seuss classic. Producers thought after Jim Carrey’s success as the ‘Grinch’ that Myers would be the perfect fit to play ‘The Cat in the Hat.’ All of Mike’s attempts at humor went over the heads of children and were too juvenile for adults……mostly about farting, double-entendres and body humor. Hopefully after Mike’s woeful performance as the Cat they will ban any and all future production of Dr. Seuess books into box office films.

Released 2003, 82 minutes too long


Movies: The THin Pink Line

3. The Thin Pink Line - IMDB Rating 3.9 - If you saw this one you probably rented it after seeing all of the star power on the back of the movie box. This film stars not only Myers but Jennifer Aniston, Will Ferrell, Janeane Garofalo, and David Schwimmer as well. So it had a butt-load of star power yet that couldn’t save this sinking ship from a weak script. The title, which reminds me of a bad porn spin off of The Hunt for Red October, probably didn’t help in the marketing of the film either.

Released 1998, 106 minutes too long


Movies: Pete’s Meteor

4. Pete’s Meteor - IMDB Rating 4.8- Myers plays a drug addict (I thought he was high all the time anyway) in this 1998 bomb. For those who didn’t see this one, which is all of you, the plot centers around a meteor that lands in Pete’s back yard. The rest of the film Pete and his sister are trying to track down and reclaim the meteor from the government and a university that is claiming it. If you own this DVD then it is probably a coaster. Pick up your soda and see if its resting on this flick. If Mike Myers touched it in 1998 it BOMBED as two of the three films he made in 98 made this list with the third being an dishonorable mention below.

Released 1998, 92 minutes too long


Movies: Wayne’s World 2

5. Wayne’s World 2 - IMDB Rating 5.7 - I have to admit being a big fan of Wayne’s World on SNL. I use to stay up every Saturday night back in the day and watch the rest of the garbage on there in hopes of seeing a 4 minute skit with Wayne, Garth and perhaps a guest band like Aerosmith. The first WW movie was great and they should have stopped after that male-teen masterpiece. The sequel was not as well written and was very much a bore….except for the legions of 13 and 14-year old boys who saw it in the theaters. The movie poster tagline (above) pretty much sums up WW2.

Released 1993, 95 minutes too long


Dishonorable Mentions: So I Married an Axe Murderer, Elvis Stories, 54 and Austin Powers in Goldmember.

    omg, my college roommates and i, too, used to watch those horrible seasons of SNL just in hopes of seeing Wayne & Garth. fortunately, it was in Chicago, so it was on an hour earlier and we could still go out to parties afterward…

    “Wayne’s World 2″ does not belong on this list. In fact, this list shouldn’t have been made since it was only created to take a shot at “The Love Guru,” a bashing I support in theory, but not when it’s done improperly. Do not see “The Love Guru.” See “Wayne’s World 2.” Start with the first, though. Mike Myers may have lost “it,” but he still had it in the “Wayne’s World” movies.
