Mike Myers, creator of Wayne’s World and Austin Powers, adds another character to his arsenal of comic personae. With his thick beard, curly mustachios, and easy-to-remember aphorisms, Guru Pitka (Myers) has built a reputation as love advisor par excellence–but he’s still just America’s #2 guru, after Deepak Chopra. Finally an opportunity comes his way: If he can heal the rift between a star hockey player (Romany Marco, Weeds) and his wife (Meagan Good, Stomp the Yard), he can appear on Oprah. But when he meets the hockey team’s comely owner (Jessica Alba), Pitka realizes he must solve his own love problems as well. Myers can’t resist a good bodily functions joke–unfortunately, he can’t resist a bad one either, so The Love Guru is crammed top to bottom with jokes about urine, feces, sex, genitalia–lots and lots about male genitalia–along with many, many gags about Canada, drugs, elephants, inspirational catchphrases, and little people (Vern “Mini-Me” Troyer takes the brunt of these). But the Austin Powers movies were pretty much the same sort of lowbrow comedy grab-bag; though the ratio of good to bad might be weaker here, a good handful of bits offer solid laughs, including some mock-Bollywood musical numbers. Also featuring pop star Justin Timberlake (as a preposterously well-endowed French-Canadian), Ben Kingsley (as Pitka’s cross-eyed mentor), Stephen Colbert (as a drug-addled sports announcer), as well as numerous celebrity cameos. –Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - If there was a rating for minus 10 stars, this movie would be minus 20 stars
This is simply the worst movie I ever saw.

I love the Austin Powers movies and could watch them repeatedly.

I was so disaapointed in this movie that I feel compelled to save everyone from this terrible let down.

There was one or two funny moments and that is it. Mike floped on this one and I am amazed that it got released. This movie rivals Catwoman for the worst movie ever made award.

AVOID !!!!!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - the fall of guru
I had been waiting for a new Myers film for a while, and expecting from older films, like Austin Powers, So I Married a Axe Murder and the others, I found this film hit the spot too. But what of the bad reviews? Even my sister who is an avid Myers fan didn’t like this film. I say it’s likely a hero falling form grace kind of thing, Myers is good, so fans want to see him fail, you can see that with Jim Carrey right now. I just liked the film, I have quite the pallet for every genre and enjoy sophisticated … Read More

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A mixed bag
I am a closet fan of lowbrow comedy, so I approached The Love Guru with an open mind despite negative reviews in the press. Alas, Guru Pitka is no Austin Powers. Meyers can barely stay in character for the length of the film. Yes, there are definitely snorts, guffaws, and chuckles to be had. However, there are *way* too many penis jokes (yes, it is a humorous organ, but there are other things to laugh at). Unsuccessful bits were repeated with the hope that they would improve with familiarity.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - mike myers raises the bar
for possibly the worst movie ever made,just the pits

what was mike myers thinking? this movie is so unfunny it is sad,it is also sad since we all know what he is capable of, the first two austin powers film were VERY funny, this is just dumb humor and no plot to speak of, a waste of everybody’s talent all the way down to ben kingsley,this movie makes eddie murphy comedies seem like shakespeare

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Barely over a star
I can’t believe this is the Mike Meyers that makes such great Austin Powers movies. The Love Guru tries very hard to be funny, in fact it hits you over the head over and over with the same routines. The first time a funny Indian name is said it is kinda funny, but by the end it is tiring. Mike Meyers singing 3 times loses the appeal after you have seen it. The not so funny book titles get lamer. The 50th Verne is short joke. Jessica Alba is wasted in the film. I really love dopey comedies, but this … Read More
