Sexman, Meet the Love Guru...
Meet the new David Manning! Web 2.0 has its very own earnest, excitable movie critic, and he absolutely gushes about The Love Guru!
If you're not familiar with "Sexman," he makes video film reviews from his bedroom--or, at least, somebody's as the backdrop usually involves an unmade bed. He posts them on YouTube, where he gets heckled by anonymous message board types, and thus increases his page views (and prominence). His more notable "critiques" include Rambo ("It had a lot of heads gettin' blown off, and there was a lot of blood and violence--it was great! Five out of five stars!") and 10000 B.C. ("I didn't even notice that there weren't any swears because it was that good of a film.")
And now, he's got a few words to say about the Paramount/Mike Myers flick, which hits multiplexes on June 20. "It really looks like it's actually gonna be good!" the kid offers up in response to watching the trailer on YT. Did the studio rope him in to the viral campaign (that would be kinda genius), or is it just the beneficiary of a serendipitous Sexman plug? You decide! The review has been up for a week and has about 10,000 views.
