The Love Guru contains a few clever touches but has trouble hanging together as a coherent comedy, let alone a coherent film.

Reviews for The Love Guru
Authentically repellent

...might just be the most puerile mainstream movie ever made...

Pitka's character seems overly based on what's convenient for a given scene.

It’s hard to take any of it seriously -- which would be fine if it were funny, but it’s not.

I guess the real audience is 40 year-old men with the mind of an 8 year-old.

Allow me to say this very clearly: this is not a good movie.
10/18/08
It appears Myers did not have someone behind the camera reigning him in. Too bad.

Myers has his head in the toilet more than a Florida State University freshman co-ed during homecoming weekend.

Like a kid let loose in a toy store, this bad boy horny guru could have used more direction, but he does impress with his driving skills atop a pachyderm, during elephant sex.

...fairly mindless stuff that may appeal to die-hard Myers fans.
09/02/08
I am still comfortable believing Myers is a comic genius, but it's no where to be seen here.
08/27/08
The whole vaguely pitiable enterprise has tiny flickers of brilliance which can’t be denied, but almost can’t be detected, either.
08/07/08
Most jokes are centred around either genitalia or that Austin Powers-style of wink-nudge faux sexuality, which doesn't work at all with this character.
08/01/08
Dismal, laugh-free comedy that's actually painful to sit through, thanks to a badly conceived central character, a lazy script and Myers' incessant mugging.
08/01/08
At one point Kingsley’s character makes his pupils duel with mops soaked in his own urine. If you think that’s funny, be my guest.
08/01/08
Funny in fits and starts, though the fits are a little convulsive and the starts seldom come with a convincing ending or pay-off.
08/01/08
The puerile levels to which it sinks make even Goldmember, the crudest of the Austin Powers movies, look like Brief Encounter.
08/01/08
When not finding new names for willies, Myers – who also wrote the script – devotes the rest of the time to pitiful one-liners revolving around farting, snot and diarrhoea.
