  • Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer (2007)
    Review preview for Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer

  • Honey (2003)

  • The Love Guru (2008)

    Myers may be wearing strange clothes, he may have a comedy beard, and he may make jokes about flatulence and groinal injury at every opportunity, but that's about the limit of his range.
