It recycles gags from earlier and better Myers movies and hopes that the audience won't notice because they're too busy staring at Timberlake's bursting Speedo.
-
25This is the first time we've seen Myers in the flesh since he committed assault and battery on Dr. Seuss, and I wish the cat had stayed in the hat.
-
30This Mike Myers vehicle exemplifies American comedy's continuing slide into infantilism.
-
25Myers has made some funny movies, but this film could have been written on toilet walls by callow adolescents.
-
38The Love Guru”does not bring out Myer's best, and aside from a deft early Bollywood parody, there’s nothing visually to help the fun along.
-
33Myers is trying for another of his endearingly hormonal imp-egomaniacs, but hidden behind a wavy beard, a wax-curled mustache, and an astoundingly ugly squashed fake nose, he's a little too grotesque.
-
25Insulting to anyone with a healthy sense of humor and the simple desire to laugh.
-
20An atrocious, idiotic 88 minutes of anti-entertainment. To borrow word-shtick from the guru Pitka, it's AWFUL as in, "Anyone Watching Feels, Um, Loser-ish."
-
25The Love Guru is even funnier than "Wayne's World" or "Austin Powers." Not.
-
20None of them -- not one, not for a moment -- is remotely funny.
-
12Ninety minutes pass like an eternity. Verdict: Down for the count.
-
10Offensive to Hindus. Never mind the Hindus; The Love Guru is offensive to pretty much anyone with a brain.
-
0This tale of a guru who brings joy to all who meet him is the most joy-draining 88 minutes I've ever spent outside a hospital waiting room.
-
33Myers combines his love of references, silly names, and mindless repetition by having his guru use "Mariska Hargitay" as a greeting/mantra. The first time it's employed, it's merely unfunny; by the 13th or 40th time, it's almost hypnotic in its awfulness.
-
25The Love Guru is a comedy like the Leafs are a hockey team.
-
30Not only does the film stumble badly from one skit to another, the skits themselves have too much dead air.
-
0The Love Guru is downright antifunny, an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again.
-
25Adam Sandler can breathe a sigh of relief: Thanks to this crude, bafflingly unfunny comedy from fellow SNL alum Mike Myers, Sandler can rest assured that his "You Don't Mess With The Zohan" won't go down as the worst movie of 2008.
-
Now and again some pungent writing leaks through to poke fun at the excruciating banality of guru wisdom. But mostly it’s dreary dick jokes and elephant poop, slack directing by Marco Schnabel, and, of all fatal errors, Mike Myers, shooting for cuddly.
-
0The road taken by The Love Guru could hardly be lower, and leads nowhere.
-
The results are a wheezy, tired attempt to milk more laughs out of the '60s, by doing exactly what "Austin Powers" did.
