Love Guru Reviews - Dreadful
Movie Moron —
... Myers nor a group of hesitant actors…show much confidence in the material. They seem to deliver lines or perform bits so they may quickly duck the rotten tomatoes surely headed their way.”
LA Weekly -
“…it’s dreary dick jokes and elephant poop, slack directing…and, of all fatal errors, Mike Myers shooting for cuddly.”
Variety -
“relentlessly juvenile”
AP -
“…unfunny lines delivered by Myers with his ...

Hockey Fans Are So Hopelessly Stupid, We All Enjoy The Love Guru And Set Our Farts On Fire — Best Week Ever
Four friends of mine sent me Love Guru reviews on Friday, and while I'm glad that I've whined about this movie enough to become the go-to Love Guru complainer in town, the following paragraph from Kyle Smith's New York Post review caused me to leap out of my chair and yell:
WHOA WHOA WHOA... Hold on a second -- WHAT did you just say about hockey fans???
As always in sports comedies, there ...

A Private Screening of THE LOVE GURU — The Moviezzz Blog
One of the best things about going to movies in the summer is that, in order to squeeze in as many showings of the summer blockbusters a day as they can, they start movies earlier than they normally would. They often have morning screenings. Being a morning person, that works for me. So, I found myself at a screening of THE LOVE GURU right after 10 am. I was a bit surprised to find myself ...
The Love Guru: Myers, Timberlake, and Troyer… Yes, That’s Weird [Junket Report] — Film School Rejects
Okay, I have to start this off by saying: The Love Guru is actually a pretty funny movie. Yes, when I saw the trailer I groaned and thought “Wow, Mike Myers has made Austin Powers 4 , without Austin Powers.” However, at the press screening I was laughing out loud, which I don’t do that often in movies (M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening aside). So my mini-review ...
The Love Guru Review — The Movie Blog
Thanks for checking out our The Love Guru Review. We unfortunately don’t have a video version of The Love Guru review, but we will discuss it in an upcoming podcast.
For all intents and purposes, we haven’t seen Mike Myers in anything non-Shrek related in over 5 years which has always been confusing and frustrating to me. Right up front I’ll let you know that I simply LOVE ...
Let’s all go to the movies! — No Fact Zone
What movies are you going to see this weekend ( polls )
Well, we’re off to go see “The Love Guru” this evening ( 9:40p at the Dallas NorthPark 15 ). What is everyone going to see this weekend at the theater? Or are you going to wait until the movie comes out on DVD?
I’ve included a video review of the two movies, and the pluses and minuses of each movie. No ...
The Love Guru -- the review's up! — FilmChat
My review of The Love Guru is now up at CT Movies. One point I considered making in the review but didn't, quite, is that, for all the raunchy humour on display, the film isn't really as sexual as you might expect. This is not, in other words, The Guru of Sex , which was the original working title of the Jimi Mistry, Heather Graham and Marisa Tomei-starring vehicle that was eventually ...
The Love Guru: Oh, Hell No — BuzzSugar
I'm having a hard time with the old axiom "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" while figuring out how to share my thoughts on the new Mike Myers comedy (and by the way, that categorization is a stretch) The Love Guru . I have to be honest, I've been sitting on this for a few days now, and I'm hard-pressed to find a single decent thing to say about it. There is ...
The Love Guru (review) — FlickFilosopher.com
It’s not enough, these days, if you want to make a stupid, crass, juvenile movie, to merely be stupid, crass, and juvenile: Everyone’s doing that, and a filmmaker makes to distinguish himself, right? So here we have the next step -- actually several giant next steps -- in taking movies to levels so new and so base that they stand apart...

Lesbian Elephants, Anti-Comedy and More Winning Buzz From 'The Love Guru''s Opening Day [Everyones A Critic] — Gawker: defamer
Seriously, there is such a thing as anti-comedy — the type of willful unfunniness we've been gleaning from every trailer, teaser and report emerging from the cultural black hole that is The Love Guru . Not that we require his validation, but the concept appeared again today in the highest-profile forum yet: A.O. Scott's slightly displeased NY Times review : The word "unfunny" surely ...
Mike Myers on “unacceptable scripts” — FlickFilosopher.com

Myers' Guru Transcends Mere Unfunniness — Tuned In
Except for the fact that Mike Myers was once on SNL, this has no real connection to TV. But A.O. Scott's review of The Love Guru has a line so good that I cannot let it go unnoted: To say...
Pan of the Day: 'The Love Guru' — Pressed
Now this is how you write a devastating movie review:
The movie's takeaway catchphrase is "Mariska Hargitay," which is used by the title character as a fake-Hindi spiritual greeting. This is almost hilarious the first 11 or so times he does it, but by the time Guru Pitka (Mr. Myers) says "Mariska Hargitay" to Ms. Hargitay herself, it's somehow less amusing than it should be.
Which ...
Review: ‘The Love Guru’ — We Are Movie Geeks
Ram Man:
This has to be the most over-publicized movie ever put out. We see the Guru Pitka every hour on every channel or wherever you look.This normally means two things…you are sure to see every funny scene in the trailer and the movie is going to blow!
Jane Bullard (Jessica Alba), owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has her team about to play for the Stanley Cup. That’s ...
Review: The Love Guru — Cinematical
If you don't count his vocal work in the Shrek films, The Love Guru marks the return of Mike Myers to the big screen after a five-year absence. Last seen in 2003's The Cat in the Hat , Myers is now unveiling -- or is that unleashing? -- a new character, Guru Pitka, a self-help maven who brings the spiritual teachings he learned from Guru Tugginmypudha (Ben Kingsley) in India to America. ...
‘The Love Guru’ Goes the Extra Mile to Make Us Laugh, But Also Feel Uncomfortable [Movie Review] — Film School Rejects
There is certainly something about a big, dumb Mike Myers-led comedy that leaves moviegoers emptying their wallets, isn’t there? No matter how infantile, ridiculous or in the case of his latest film The Love Guru , creepy the film seems, we are still curious to see how it will all turn out. It is as if his brand of comedy reduces us to a group of roadside pedestrians laying witness ...

Review: `Love Guru' lame self-help romp
(AP) — Yahoo! News: Movie News
AP - In "The Love Guru," Mike Myers must come to love himself before he can love others. From the credits of this scattershot comedy sketch stretched and strained to movie length, Myers clearly loved himself to the point of narcissism going in.
