The Love Guru features far too many gross-out gags, and too few earned laughs, ranking as one of Mike Myers' poorest outings.

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. Go to Full Review

You'll wish the once-talented Myers had merely rested on his laurels rather than pooping into them. Go to Full Review
Nigel Andrews Financial Times 08/01/2008
Funny in fits and starts, though the fits are a little convulsive and the starts seldom come with a convincing ending or pay-off. Go to Full Review

Ronnie B Aug 24 I watched this movie when it initially came out. I was in my mid twenties dating an ex and we watched this movie together, we were baked. Nevertheless, this movie has always made me laugh so hard my chest hurts. Maybe its the emotional tie too it, ooor my humor.... either way, this movie and Tropic Thunder, and Napoleon Dynamite and Harold / Kumar white castle will always have a spot in my happy place. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 30 Funny in 1 hour and 27 minutes!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Drug References, Crude Content Throughout, Language, Sexual Content Throughout and Some Comic Violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $32,200,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 5 Filme ruim, o roteiro é ruim, o filme teve cenas horríveis como a cena no hockey do gelo que colocaram um elelefante de goleiro e foda-se e ainda teve outras cenas horríveis, a história é fraca, os personagens são fracos, e o elenco é bom, mas eles não acrescentam em quase nada no filme, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme. See more Carson P 12/13/2024 Not funny at all Mike myers looks stupid with a beard and there is even a scene where when he speaks to Ben Kingsley ( the sen say?? WT ) he is in a little kids body and his head is too big for it soo stupid, the imagery and cinematography lighting is bland, dull and lifeless having the equivalent of that lighting and production quality of the room, disaster movie and other unfunny comedies like ones with Adam Sandler and rob shenider. Truly horrific, it’s beyond me how anyone would find this schlockfacular funny while it isn’t it’s the opposite and definetly deserves in the top worst comedies of all time. See more Ram L 11/03/2024 Well, like some of the other reviews hint at: It’s not as funny as you’d expect a Mike Myers movie to be. It *is* funny for the most part, though—in a goofy, simplistic kind of way if you want to get analytical. See more RICARDO A 07/02/2024 A Big Career Blow For a Once Respected Actor Mike Myers!
