Remember when Mike Myers was funny? That was a long time ago. And now when he does make a movie, which happens very rarely. The outcome is not exactly what I would call "funny". Waaay too many plays on words. Yes Mike Myers, we get it, Indian names can sometimes be long and sound funny, but we don't have to make 50 jokes about them. The only scenes I found interesting were the Hockey scenes (eh?). Overall, it was a boring, badly acted, slapstick failure. I'd Rather watch "The Cat in the Hat". |

With a worst performance made by Mike Myers; The Love Guru stands on a ground that is offensive and uniquely not quite funny. |

This movie was not good in more ways then I can describe. The people I feel bad for are the other actors who had cameos or played parts in this movie. Like Ben Kingsley what kind of terrible dirt dose Mike Myers have on him to get him to be in this movie? The story was bad the acting was bad and even thought I found myself laughing from time to time (and it made me feel very shameful to laugh at the parts I did) the humor was terrible. I know there are going to be some people like me that think Mike Myers can be funny and they will rent this but please don't. Renting this movie will only encourage Myers to make another and none of us want to see him fall any farther. I can in no way recommend this movie for anyone to see. |

R.I.P. Mike Myers.. Your career is dead.. |

OK so first of all many people out there know that Mike Myers was the star of Wayne's World 1 & 2, Austin Powers 1-3 and many other notable comedies. Some may also know him from Saturday Night Live back in the 90's when he did several skits with Ben Stiller, Chris Farley, Dana Carvey, etc. But anyway we go from all of these great achievements to the Love Guru. It normally works when Myers plays more than one character but in this movie when he plays Young Pitka, Teenage Pitka, Guru Pitka and himself it is just not as funny as when he played Dr. Evil, Austin Powers, Fat Bastard and Goldmember in previous Austin Powers movies. Mike also found success with the cartoon movie Shrek, which has really started to water down after part 3. I would even go out on a limb and say that Shrek the Third ... |

The Hate Guru |

How did I hate this movie? Let me count the ways...
I can't say I was expecting the launch of a new franchise like "Austin Powers", but this one isn't even worth it as a stand-alone. Either I've aged since Mike Myers last created one of his wacky big-screen characters, or he has lost his touch at doing so.
Other critics are saying the humor is crude and sophomoric, but they at least admit there was humor. I found precious little that was funny. However, I will say that the one or two times I laughed, they were big belly laughs.
Never has a mere hour and twenty minutes seemed so excruciatingly long! Especially, compared to a movie like "Sex & the City" where nearly two and a half hours flew by enjoyably.
Skin Rating = 2 (out of 4). Although Justin Timberlake is awful in h... |
