This movie looks like it will be funny. But the only real reason I am going to see it is because Stephen Colbert and John Oliver is in it!

I just saw a bit of that scene with Stephen. He’s an announcer, alright. HNIC = Hockey Night in Colbert Nation…

I agree with Kinaesthesia.

I love hockey, I love the TDS folks, I love Stephen, and also, Justin Timberlake has always been really great when he’s hosted SNL.

I might just be willing to fork out the $8.50 for a movie ticket.

OT: Mike Myers’ facial hair in the movie kind of weirds me out… lol.

Justin Timberlake is also in it, as another hockey player who gets involved with the wife of the one Myers’s character is trying to help.

According to IMDb, Mike Myers plays an American raised outside the country by gurus. When he returns to break into the self-help business, his first challenge is to settle the romantic and professional troubles of a star hockey player. And there, apparently, is where Stephen, the hockey announcer, comes in.

It does sound like a very small part, but it still would be fun to see.

Oh ok, I don’t know anything about it so I was just making an assumption.

Gabby,

I doubt it. I find it odd that nobody seems to have mentioned Stephen’s involvement in the movie before this (which leads me to believe it’s not a big role), but it’s EW.com, so they’ve covered Stephen enough to know who he is. Also, John’s role has been described as a “manager” whose job it is to get “The Love Guru” on Oprah (something about John’s client and Deepak Chopra; I’m not too clear on the premise and am too lazy to look it up now); that doesn’t sound like “hockey announcer” to me.

Maybe it was really John Oliver and they got confused and thought it was Stephen.

Not to change the subject, but… well, actually, this WILL change the subject, but… show tickets seem to be available for April 8th and 9th over at that other – official – site. Get ‘em while they’re hot!
