The Love Guru movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: We're talking 15 or 20 minutes of decent material. The movie runs a little longer than that. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: With its scatological humor, penis jokes, feeble puns, and middle-school ideal of love, this Mike Myers vehicle exemplifies American comedy's continuing slide into infantilism. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: The road taken by The Love Guru could hardly be lower, and leads nowhere. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: 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. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Pop-culture riffing, winking double entendres, scatological humor, and silly names aren't just the foremost weapons in Myers' comic arsenal, they're all he's got. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Laughs forgive a lot. Just ask Judd Apatow. But when the funniest line in the movie is an outtake from Verne Troyer, you've got problems. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Things are so bad here that the few good ideas seem brilliant. Read more
Jan Stuart, Los Angeles Times: A comedy of low blows and elephantine misfires. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: This is dangerous advice for a writer to give (talk about glass houses), but Mike Myers needs an editor. He needs someone with a fat red pen to scratch out a few of his worst bad habits. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: What links all these characters is Myers's gift for antic, elfin burlesque. He's like a second-best Peter Sellers. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: When Pitka ends his bite-size lessons with 'TM,' we should understand it's not meditation but branding he's after. Read more
Adam Graham, Detroit News: For a comic genius, Mike Myers sure aims low. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: 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. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Sorry, time's up. The final buzzer has gone on our spirited game of Spot the Laugh. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Juvenile. Strained. This baggy tale of a loopy Deepak Chopra wannabe is all that and then some. The thing is it's also pretty funny as long as you know what you're in for. Read more
Amy Nicholson, I.E. Weekly: Mike Myers' catastrophe is a paramount test of enlightenment. Smiling beatifically during each painfully unfunny gag demands more inner-strength than jogging through lava. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Mike Myers likes ice hockey. He also likes Deepak Chopra, a little bit too much. So he pulled together a bit of hockey and a whole lot of Chopra and called it a plot. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: The Love Guru is insulting to anyone with a healthy sense of humor and the simple desire to laugh. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: The Love Guru scrapes bottom for laughs, resorting to pop-culture jokes (Lindsay, Britney), weak musical numbers (Dolly Parton's '9 to 5' on sitar) and, most abysmally, the sight of two elephants doing it. Read more
Bob Mondello, NPR.org: Planning on seeing it? You may well recoil from sports comedies, Bollywood musicals, self-help spiritualists, puns — even characters with beards — for the foreseeable future. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: Let's not pussyfoot around: The Love Guru is an atrocious, idiotic 88 minutes of anti-entertainment. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: At 88 minutes, The Love Guru would have benefited from a trim of roughly 80 minutes. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's vintage Myers, with an outrageous, broadly played character borrowed from Peter Sellers, silly makeup, bad puns, innuendo, the occasional pause for song and dance and Myers' ongoing obsession with little people. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: In reality, The Love Guru isn't likely to offend anyone -- save, perhaps, audiences that prefer their comedy sophisticated, not sophomoric, and devoid of references to bodily functions. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: The frustrating thing about the movie is that it contains moment of comedy that verge on inspired, but they are too infrequent to justify the running length. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The movie not only violates the Law of Funny Names (which are usually not funny), but rips it from the Little Movie Glossary and tramples it into the ice. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: The picture, written by Myers and Graham Gordy and directed by Marco Schnabel (no relation to Julian), is listless and pokey, chiefly because watching Myers in this particular guise is almost completely joyless. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Mike Myers' new comedy, The Love Guru, is a disappointment, but it's not a disaster, and that's at least something. Read more
Dana Stevens, Slate: This 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. Read more
David Germain, Associated Press: Myers wants us all to love him, wants us all to be in on his jokes. But love and laughs are earned, not given just because you mug for the camera behind a wild wig and beard. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: No amount of mugging can salvage a collection of scattershot jokes clothes-pinned to such a slender plot. It's one thing to parody a cowboy or a detective or a spy, but is there a cultural consensus on what's funny about Third World spiritualists? Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: 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. Read more
David Jenkins, Time Out: 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. Read more
Christopher Orr, The New Republic: The endless winks at the camera look more desperate, the jokes at Troyer's expense seem more tasteless. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: It's a silly spoof that is occasionally funny but grows tedious with excessive mugging and bad punning. Read more
Brian Lowry, Variety: The Love Guru is so relentlessly juvenile as to merit a new twist on the PG-13 rating -- one that strongly cautions not only those under 13 but anyone much above it, too. Read more
John Anderson, Washington Post: Mike Myers is anti-comedy . . . that is, if one presumes comedy ought to be smart, new, surprising or, yes, funny. Read more
