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

Authentically repellent Full Review |

...might just be the most puerile mainstream movie ever made... Full Review |

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

|
1.5/5 |
It’s hard to take any of it seriously -- which would be fine if it were funny, but it’s not. Full Review |

1.5/4 |
I guess the real audience is 40 year-old men with the mind of an 8 year-old. Full Review |

|
4/10 |
Allow me to say this very clearly: this is not a good movie. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
It appears Myers did not have someone behind the camera reigning him in. Too bad. Full Review |

|
.5/4 |
Myers has his head in the toilet more than a Florida State University freshman co-ed during homecoming weekend. Full Review |

|
|
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. Full Review |

3/10 |
...fairly mindless stuff that may appeal to die-hard Myers fans. Full Review |
||
|
3/10 |
I am still comfortable believing Myers is a comic genius, but it's no where to be seen here. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
The whole vaguely pitiable enterprise has tiny flickers of brilliance which can’t be denied, but almost can’t be detected, either. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
0/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
|
Funny in fits and starts, though the fits are a little convulsive and the starts seldom come with a convincing ending or pay-off. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
The puerile levels to which it sinks make even Goldmember, the crudest of the Austin Powers movies, look like Brief Encounter. Full Review |
||
|
|
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. Full Review |
