What to Know

Critics Consensus

After a long absence from the screen, Mike Myers returns with an overstuffed farce wherein he plays eight different characters -- but unfortunately, almost none of them are funny.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) The story is involved, but the plot is episodic and the comedy mostly genial, with puns, excessive accents and bodily function gags (lots of those). It’s nice to have Myers back, but this is at best a distraction. May 19, 2022 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com If you're not bowled over by the eight rubbery faces Myers cycle through its six episodes, maybe it's because they're only slightly removed from versions of his characters you've laughed with before but whose humor feels crustily outdated in 2022. May 9, 2022 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday "The Pentaverate" is simultaneously silly and pointless, and a welcome return to form for its star. Rated: 2.5/4 May 9, 2022 Full Review Ally Ham The Review Geek Overstuffed with info dumps and cheap gags, the series devotes little time to exploring its characters. Rated: 2/10 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Kiko Vega Espinof Mike Myers has returned to joke about poop, butts, farts and pee, but with the confidence and courage of someone who knows the ins and outs of comedy. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 23, 2022 Full Review Amanda Mazzillo Film Joy The Pentaverate is a funny satire of secret societies/conspiracies and great return to form for Mike Myers who plays 8 characters, all of which have moments to shine and are never overpowering. Lydia West expresses wonderful comedic talent every episode. Jun 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Nick M You can tell something Mike Myers wrote and produced himself as it's like time stopped Mike Myers humor in 1992. It's Love Guru taken up to 11 and given a series. Myers is a great comedian when he has people focusing his direction and to play off of; but when it is pure mainline Mike Myers its like watching hours and hours of bad dad jokes on infinite repeat. You get 90% of the premise and plot of this series in the first 15 minutes and then the 5-1/2 remaining episodes are just looping it over and over and over again till you crave something of the quality of The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, or McHale's Navy to come wash this out of your brain. The Love Guru sits at on many lists at around 80 on the 100 worst films of all time. If this were a film I think it would have topped Mike's record holding position. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Mycroft C Lots of people slamming this.. it's Mike Myers! You know? Wayne's World, Austin Powers? He does silly puns and toilet humour and he does it great. If you want something deep go watch something else. This is hilarious and a welcome return from Doctor Evil himself. Wonderful! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Chuck K If you like Mike Meyers then you will love this. I lot of critics didn’t like this panning it as childish. They should’ve expected that from a meyers movie. If you like Austin Powers type humor this will certainly deliver for you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Gene S Mike Myers does it again!! Can't wait til season 2!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Stash O They set their bar and reached it. They weren't trying to be something more than a fun, corny comedy. One can't be so rigid in their expectations or you'll face disappointment far to often. Relax and try to enjoy something for what it is. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Victoria F A timely mirror for our society's flaws, expertly crafted and brilliantly funny.
