Critics Consensus

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

Carson P 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Ram L 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review RICARDO A A Big Career Blow For a Once Respected Actor Mike Myers! And Boy this Film is The Battlefield Earth of Awful Films!! And it is Unfunny, Boring, and It’s as Worse as The Cat in the Hat! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Katie B mariska hargitay 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/19/23 Full Review Zach T Mike Myers film is too crass to provide any laughs. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review Keith Look, this obviously wasn't Mike Myers's best picture. But with Mike Myers, you know what you are getting with his humor and his larger-than-life cartoonish characters. Even though the Austin Powers films will always be Myers's best work, I thought "The Love Guru" wasn't half-bad for a comedy. It's fun, it's silly, it's a trademark Mike Myers film.
