It's Austin Powers meets Indian Musical

by saintandrew

I'm being generous because its Mike Meyers and I love his characterizations - normally. Love Guru just seems like a retread of Austin Powers. The main character is self absorbed, somewhat jealous of another character in the film, thinks constantly of sex, has all sorts of trade mark sayings, and makes fun of every bodily function. Take your pick - Austin Powers or Guru Pitka? Underneath the set designs and costumes, its really just the same film, same gags, and same characters. Justin Timberlake added a little something to the cast with his portrayal of a French Canadian Hockey Star, Jessica Alba was there for eye candy, and the funniest bit of the film was the Indian Musical slant in the closing credits. Why didn't they incorporate those sooner? All said and done, if you like Mike Meyers you'll probably be somewhat forgiving of the lack of new material. Mike's humor was once cutting edge but, like a joke you've heard a dozen times, eventually you tire of it. Mariska Hargitay everyone.

must go more than once!

by bb62

this movie was HILARIOUS1 and I am a serious 51 yr old man - but I was in tears laughing most of the movie...and I am sure I missed two-thirds of the jokes because of my laughter or the rapid fire sequence of the humor, I would need to see Guru a few times to catch all the jokes, inside humor, and cameos.
I don't see many movies a year - hell, I've got 1,000 channels on satellite- but Love Guru is worth getting off your butt and seeing today.

I have never written areview before, by the way, but I couldn't sleep last night laughing from remembering parts of the movie.

DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

by mlorsi

You will be extremely disappointed in this movie. There were only a few times that I even chuckled, other than that, it was not funny! Mike myers movies' are known for their "hidden humor", however this movie should have been rated R for the amount of sexual content and visuals on sexual organs. WHATEVER YOU DO , DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN OF ANY AGE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE!! In the Austin powers movies it was present and we were still able to get the humor and bust out laughing, but he has crossed the line in this movie by FAR. If you are curious to see it, definately WAIT to watch it on cable because I am sure this horrible movie will be on DVD next week!

Truthful review...

by aquaticnut

This movie started off slow with some poor "Mariska Hargitay" slapstick, but continued to a climax of shear humor. Mike Myers is the king of slapstick in an age of dry or slow humor. His style may not be for everyone, but it will definately give a laugh or two for those that are open minded to this kind of comedy. Overall, this gave me a laugh and I suggest that if you still aren't sure - it's definitely worth a mattinee. It is pure comedy, so don't go expecting to see "Titanic" style drama... just have fun!

We've Been counting down the days for this movie and the wait was worth it

by GothamGirl

We loved it. Personally I think this is Mike's best move to date. The writing is clever and quick so pay close attention and be sure you're not sitting next to anyone who laughs too loud or you'll miss some of the funny parts.

Gime a Pound, Lock it Down, Cut the pickle, Tickle tickle!

by Magnolia Fan

If your not into crude humor pass on this one.....

The only way out is in.

Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself, why are you still hitting yourself?

Into me I see.

I know you are....But what am I? LOL

This was a real dumb movie; however, as with all dumb Mike Myers films you just can't bring yourself to miss it. Some of the humor was absolutely tragic. But there was some really funny stuff as well. The special thing about Mike Myers are his colorfull characters and he's created another great one in the Guru Pitka. Not a home run, but laugh out loud funny and worth the price of admission.

THe Love Guru

by queenbeeronda

Ok, if you love Mike Myers, you have to go see this. Silly comedy in the classic Mike Myers style. STarted out a little slow, but after a few minutes I was laughing hard and forgetting about the bad week I had at my job. The movie has lots of special appearances and of course, lots of hidden adult humor. My 12 year old daughter didn't "get" alot of it and it wasn't too vulgar or crude for her. All in all, if you just want to escape the real world for a couple of hours, this movie is lots of fun!!

The Love Guru

by Omega Critic

Not as bad as most would have you believe. It is a typical Mike Meyer character and he is still funny.
It is not meant to be taken serious, it is just meant to be silly and make you laugh, much like the Austin Powers character and Dr. Evil.
