Critics Consensus

The Love Guru features far too many gross-out gags, and too few earned laughs, ranking as one of Mike Myers' poorest outings.

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.

You'll wish the once-talented Myers had merely rested on his laurels rather than pooping into them.

Funny in fits and starts, though the fits are a little convulsive and the starts seldom come with a convincing ending or pay-off.

Honestly don't know why this movie gets so much hate. I guess you just need a weird and dry since of humor i don't know i think it's funny. Jokes hit here and there.

LITERALLY (and I mean that literally) the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life. I tried so hard to be strong and finish it, but the torture was finally too much. I don’t even want to give it one star, honestly.

Very bad movie . Not a single joke lands and the song are just annoying. This should have a lower score . It really makes you question his humour.

I watched this movie when it initially came out. I was in my mid twenties dating an ex and we watched this movie together, we were baked. Nevertheless, this movie has always made me laugh so hard my chest hurts. Maybe its the emotional tie too it, ooor my humor.... either way, this movie and Tropic Thunder, and Napoleon Dynamite and Harold / Kumar white castle will always have a spot in my happy place.

Filme ruim, o roteiro é ruim, o filme teve cenas horríveis como a cena no hockey do gelo que colocaram um elelefante de goleiro e foda-se e ainda teve outras cenas horríveis, a história é fraca, os personagens são fracos, e o elenco é bom, mas eles não acrescentam em quase nada no filme, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.
