The Love Guru Reviews

| Original Score: F | Feb 18, 2012

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

| Original Score: B- | Oct 18, 2008

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 1, 2008

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

| Aug 1, 2008

To describe this holistic-healing comedy as anything other than terrible would be gross dereliction of duty, but I'll make one concession: it's kind of meant to be.

| Aug 1, 2008

Myers' shtick isn't for everyone, but I laughed. Looking around, however, I saw that my fellow critics were enjoying themselves as much as Gordon Brown on the beach at Southwold.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 1, 2008

Myers has created in Pitka a character that's sexually ambiguous, deeply neurotic and far more fascinating than the puerile script.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 1, 2008

A film so numbingly unamusing that you seriously question whether you were mistaken to have ever found Myers funny.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 31, 2008

They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Well 'they' obviously haven't seen 'The Love Guru', an overgrown dirt-patch of clunking juvenilia.

| Original Score: 1/6 | Jul 31, 2008

As the celebrity love guru of Los Angeles, Mike Meyers delivers jokes so poorly that they just clang to the floor like metal weights.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 11, 2008

It's just deadly.

Full Review | Jun 23, 2008

If 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.

| Original Score: D+ | Jun 20, 2008

The endless winks at the camera look more desperate, the jokes at Troyer's expense seem more tasteless.

| Jun 20, 2008

Mike Myers is anti-comedy . . . that is, if one presumes comedy ought to be smart, new, surprising or, yes, funny.

| Jun 20, 2008

The road taken by The Love Guru could hardly be lower, and leads nowhere.

| Jun 20, 2008

Myers' Pitka is the stealthiest of holy rollers: he makes you roar just when you think he's going to hell in a hand basket.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 20, 2008

At least it doesn't waste any time. At somewhere near the 30-second mark, it gets right down to business, and that business is the kind of humor that doesn't usually get named in this paper.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 20, 2008

Mike Myers' new comedy, The Love Guru, is a disappointment, but it's not a disaster, and that's at least something.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 20, 2008
