Insultingly stupid, embarrassingly bad jokes sometimes. The occasional guest star appearances is amusing, but the movie is just dreadful and badly written.

I didn't mind this movie, it was funny once and then a half decent watch the other few times. If you're expecting humour from Austin Powers series, it's there but it sometimes falls flat. The fact that celebrities like Sir Ben Kingsly, Justin timberlake, Stephen Colbert and Kanye West agreed to this was astounding. Verne Troyer plays a pretty good performance while Jessica alba's acting is boring as all hell. Typically, It's Mike Myers Character, Guru Pitka who gets most of the laughs. If this ever airs on TV then you should watch it or at least rent it. it'll probably sit on your DVD shelf and be forgotten about.… Expand

This movie was pretty damn bad. and i'm sorry but anyone who gives it a 10 really has to find out what real comedy is. mike myers making poop noises and jokes and his erection is not really funny. if you give it a 10, go watch disaster movie maybe you will like that as well.

It hardly mattered that a lot of Americans were clueless as to what Mike Myers was satirizing when the titular character from "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" became something of a comic zeitgeist in the late-nineties and early 21st century. That voice alone, an instrument in which Myers played all the right mercurical and randy notes, transcended the typical American moviegoer's limited grasp of film history. Myers brought swinging London across the Atlantic, and for a brief period, he was the only comic actor that mattered. But subsequent sequels, were less funny, less swinging, as Myers' penchance for gross-out humor started to grow tiresome. Fat Bastard was his nadir. The trend continues here. Jokes about masturbation, flatulence, male genitalia, urine, and "midgets" inspires silence, not laughter. And worst of all, the voice isn't funny. The Guru Pitka sounds like a child molester. And hockey? A comedy about hockey and Deepak Chopra? Myers, whose last notable appearance was playing straight-man to Kanye West as the rapper told a post-Katrina audience on live television that George W. Bush didn't like black people, gets his revenge for playing the unwilling stooge. In "The Love Guru", there's the temptation to look at Darren Roanoke(Romany Malco), a black hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs, as a stand-in for West. For the record, Roanoke has a smaller penis than Jacques Grande(Justin Timberlake), and is scared of his mother. Think about it. What could be more emasculating to a rap artist? And finally, "The Love Guru" makes reference not just once(Coach Punch Cherkov's office is just like the seven-and-a-half floor in Charlie Kaufman's Martin Flemmer building), but twice, to Spike Jonze's "Being John Malkovich". The Los Angeles Times headline that proclaims Deepak Chopra's dominance over the Guru Pitka is an obscure reference to the John Cusack character bitching about living in the shadow of Derek Mantini(Ned Bellamy), who Craig Schwartz(Cusack) watches from his couch, as the populist puppeteer mounts a giant Emily Dickinson presentation("The Belle of Amherst") on live television. The Jonze film establishes a skewered world where puppeteers matter, as does "The Love Guru", which overstates the importance of spiritualists like Deepak Chopra in the popular culture. That's the only cerebral component in this puerile, mean-spirited, and above all else, cynical, film, that's purported to be a comedy, but is more like an object of performance art that deconstructs comedy and the human heart.… Expand

Absolute crap. This movie was completely stupid, not funny and anyone who says this movie is funny has no idea what the hell they are talking about. The Happening was funnier than this and that was a Horror movie. Note to directors, stop making bad comedy movies, you're ruining the genre.

Would not have saw this movie because of all the poor ratings but i snuck in after watching Wall-E. Has lots of offensive humor including numerous penis jokes...I loved it....Lots of laughs..

Years from now the critics will rediscover this like they did So I Married an Axe Murderer.

For sure it wasn't the best movie he has done. but I laughed my ass off. but maybe I find those stupid comedies funny. my finace laughed all the way through it also and she doesn't like those kinds usually. so i think alot of you are just bing too harsh on this movie.

This is probably the most underrated movie I've ever seen. I put off watching it because of all the negative reviews but my wife and I were laughing out loud when we finally saw it. It's not Austin Powers but it is definitely not Mike Meyer's worst.

Completely absurd and ridiculous!! Nothing original here. Mike Myers style of comedy and writing is out-dated and not very funny. Viewers are smarter these days than the Wayne's World shtick style humor. Mike needs to reinvent...

The most mindlessly stupid moveie I have seen in years. Totallly unfunny..empty. Don't waste your money. We walked out half way through...after others in the cinema.

Not nearly as bad as the critics would have you think. Plenty of dumb Mike myers potty humor and inside jokes. It was much better than I would have thought.

I laughed, giggled and smiled through this whole movie. As did my wife. I'm not sure why most critics didn't like it. Maybe it was too "foreign" for them. Thank you, Mike Myers, for another delightful time at the movies.

Do not support this trash! I walked out of this movie like many others did. We don't need raunchy jokes to be entertained. Good clean fun at the movies is what people yearn for. Please stand up for something and demand more from Hollywood!

I'm afraid to say that I can't watch this movie. There is just no way I can have enough suspension of disbelief to even contemplate the completely unrealistic, unbelievable, and unfathomable idea that the Leafs could ever win the Stanley Cup. Enjoy the phoniness, Mike Myers because that's the inly way that they will ever win!

This movie made me laugh so many times!

As a fan of Waynes World, Austin Powers and even that Axe Murderer movie, and read the reviews and then went to theater thinking, "It cant be THAT bad"... It was and worse. I actually sat through the whole thing just waiting for one redeeming scene. Their aren't any.

This movie was better then what others are saying. Its not as good as his other movies but still worth seeing.

This movie was so not funny. all the jokes are what every low humor 'comedy' is trying to do. sex jokes, fart noises. so boring i sat through it but i do not know why.

this has to be without a doubt one of the lamest, least funny movies that has ever been produced. I can usually tell when a movie really sucks when the only review on the box is by some obscure critic, like the jackass from KGUN channel 9 who reviewed this. I am a huge Mike Myers fan, but I would really like to get my rental fee back and my two hours. I will watch anything with Jessica Alba in, but even she couldn't help this Austin Powers remake. I hope Myers isn't falling into that "self serving" mode that destroys a lot of good comics. We did not laugh one time....even the outtakes were abysmal. Please do not make a sequel to this cinematic boil!… Expand

Solid comedy. Myers puts a lot of energy and clever double entendres into the film. As a movie it's not Shakespeare. But it really works for good laughs!

8.5 really. It is a rather amusing comedy. I recommend it to the adolescents,like myself, out there.

I went to this movie with a friend hoping for a movie so bad it was funny. What we got was a movie so bad we both walked out as the credits and gag reel rolled, our spirits broken, our stomachs turned in knots begging for us to to regurgitate the experience. If the CIA uses this film as a torture technique, I assure you it would be more effective than waterboarding.

He shoots, he misses, and the crowd boos!!!

If you love Mike Meyers, you will likely enjoy this film. If you don't love him, fasten your seatbelts for a crap storm.

Basically Austin Power Part 4, just different characters. Lot's of silly, easy jokes. Hard to believe Mike Myers had a co writer on this one. But it was very hard to figure out which parts the co writer wrote as it was identical writing to the last 3 Austin Powers Movies. Not to say I didn't laugh at some of the jokes. It was just OK.

Awful, dull-witted comedy. Mike Myers ruined the name of comedy. Somewhat racist to Hindus and French Québecois. His silly trashy humor used in Austin Powers was great, but this movie is a total wash.

It's hard to pinpoint exactly when it was that Mike Myers went over to the dark side, but it happened long before The Cat in the Hat. Most likely it occurred during the first 10 minutes of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, when Myers, wanting to make his shagadelic superspy a free agent again, betrays Elizabeth Hurley, the surprisingly believable (and endearing) romantic interest from the original AP: International Man of Mystery, as well as all sense of continuity and logic by writing Hurley out of the series permanently, in just about the laziest and most perfunctory way possible. (Uh, what evidence was there in the original that Mimi Rogers gave birth to a fembot?) This marked the complete sacrifice of the sweetness and heart in Myers' movies in favor of increasingly gross and juvenile gags replete with Myers replacing wit with elaborate makeup stunts that don't exactly cause Rick Baker too many sleepless nights. In short, while Man of Mystery was filled with Myers' affection for James Bond, Matt Helm, Derek Flint, Burt Bachrach and 1960s British pop culture, the two sequels feature Myers' affection for nobody and nothing save Myers. Austin Powers is gone, baby, gone, but Myers' self-indulgent egomania lives on in the relentlessly puerile and painful The Love Guru, the least of whose sins is Myers' refusal to make his central character (an Indian spiritual teacher who contradicts his philosophies by being obsessed with materialism and one-upping Deepak Chopra) an object of even the most obvious satire; such is Myers' preening desire to have the audience love him, which results in one of the most preening, obnoxiously camera-hogging performances in recent movie history. ("Couldn't you just eat me up?" Myers asks. "Yes, and then puke you right back out," we reply.) The jokes themselves are so endlessly, assaultively crass and prepubescent (which can be forgivable, if they're funny) that even Myers' fellow Canadians Terrence and Philip would launch a protest campaign. Marco Schnabel's direction is so amateurish that viewers really come to appreciate Jay Roach's expert staging of even the flimsiest material in the Powers trilogy. Concerning the performances, when JESSICA ALBA comes across the best in a movie, you know it's in trouble; she's no actress by anybody's standards (except maybe her immediate family's) but as the unlucky owner of a hockey team whose star player is counseled by the hero, Alba is certainly pleasant, natural, and has an extremely winning smile--fortunately, due to Schnabel's ping-pong camera placement in her scenes with Myers, you at least get to see it exactly 50% of the time! Alba's costars don't come across quite so well, to say the least; as Myers' cross-eyed mentor, Sir Ben Kingsley (The Wackness) not only puts Sir Laurence Olivier's late career Polaroid commercials and The Jazz Singer in their proper perspective, but proves that it's possible to sink lower in one's career than working for director Uwe Boll. Stephen Colbert, playing a drug-addled sportscaster, cause moviegoers to seriously question the intelligence, slyness and wit he regularly brings to Comedy Central's The Colbert Report. Fortunately for Colbert, however, The Love Guru deservedly had very few moviegoers in attendance, so Colbert's reputation remains intact!… Expand

I walked into the theater with friends expecting a dumb yet funny film, then wished I was alone and could leave. There's a problem when so much of your jokes are based around the idea that the joke was not funny...anyway...

When I first started watching this movie I thought it was terrible and not funny at all. But after I got past the first half I started to enjoy it. Jessica Alba and Justin Timberlake being in it definetly made it a better movie. Some parts were funny, like when Mike Myers sang a couple familar songs and rode humping elephants. It was not a horrible movie like the majority of critics say, but it wasn't great either. It was just average.… Expand

The Love Guru is a laugh out loud explosive comedy. But I got to give this movie a 1 cause of how stupid it was. For instance in the ending it was showing to elephants humping each other. So I respect what Rob B was saying but it is to stupid for this movie to get good reviews.

This is a movie that will keep you laughing from beginning to end, this may be a movie that will appeal to teenagers more than most adults, all in all this is a great comedy, one I would highly recommend.
