Reviews for The Love Guru
Top CriticIf you're in the mood for a delightful tweak of today's self-actualizing New Age gurus, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you want to see gags about boogers, elephant poop, and mano-a-mano duels with mops drenched in urine, then this is for you.

Top CriticThe endless winks at the camera look more desperate, the jokes at Troyer's expense seem more tasteless.
06/20/08
Top CriticMike Myers is anti-comedy . . . that is, if one presumes comedy ought to be smart, new, surprising or, yes, funny.
06/20/08
Top CriticThe road taken by The Love Guru could hardly be lower, and leads nowhere.
06/20/08
Top CriticMyers' Pitka is the stealthiest of holy rollers: he makes you roar just when you think he's going to hell in a hand basket.
06/20/08
Top CriticMike Myers' new comedy, The Love Guru, is a disappointment, but it's not a disaster, and that's at least something.
06/20/08
Top CriticThe picture, written by Myers and Graham Gordy and directed by Marco Schnabel (no relation to Julian), is listless and pokey, chiefly because watching Myers in this particular guise is almost completely joyless.
06/20/08
Top CriticThe frustrating thing about the movie is that it contains moment of comedy that verge on inspired, but they are too infrequent to justify the running length.
06/20/08
Top CriticAt 88 minutes, The Love Guru would have benefited from a trim of roughly 80 minutes.
06/20/08
Top CriticLet's not pussyfoot around: The Love Guru is an atrocious, idiotic 88 minutes of anti-entertainment.
06/20/08
Top CriticA comedy of low blows and elephantine misfires.
06/20/08
Top CriticThis is dangerous advice for a writer to give (talk about glass houses), but Mike Myers needs an editor. He needs someone with a fat red pen to scratch out a few of his worst bad habits.
06/20/08
Top CriticFor a comic genius, Mike Myers sure aims low.
06/20/08
Top CriticWhen Pitka ends his bite-size lessons with 'TM,' we should understand it's not meditation but branding he's after.
06/20/08
Top CriticJuvenile. Strained. This baggy tale of a loopy Deepak Chopra wannabe is all that and then some. The thing is it's also pretty funny as long as you know what you're in for.
06/20/08
Top CriticWith its scatological humor, penis jokes, feeble puns, and middle-school ideal of love, this Mike Myers vehicle exemplifies American comedy's continuing slide into infantilism.
06/20/08
Top CriticThings are so bad here that the few good ideas seem brilliant.
06/20/08
Top CriticSorry, time's up. The final buzzer has gone on our spirited game of Spot the Laugh.
06/20/08
Top CriticThe Love Guru is downright antifunny, an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again.
