Puerile and disappointing, what might have been a comical, irreverent look at Eastern guru wisdom a la Mike Myers is a load of balderdash, anchored by an elephantine bag of toilet humour, oversized penises and midget jokes
Top CriticThe satire of Bollywood musicals is obvious but about the closest thing to humour in what is undoubtedly the worst comedy of the year.
Top CriticAs the celebrity love guru of Los Angeles, Mike Meyers delivers jokes so poorly that they just clang to the floor like metal weights.

Top CriticMyers' shtick isn't for everyone, but I laughed. Looking around, however, I saw that my fellow critics were enjoying themselves as much as Gordon Brown on the beach at Southwold.
Top CriticMyers has created in Pitka a character that’s sexually ambiguous, deeply neurotic and far more fascinating than the puerile script.
Top CriticA film so numbingly unamusing that you seriously question whether you were mistaken to have ever found Myers funny.
Top CriticIt’s just deadly.
Top CriticMike Myers is anti-comedy . . . that is, if one presumes comedy ought to be smart, new, surprising or, yes, funny.
Top CriticThe road taken by The Love Guru could hardly be lower, and leads nowhere.
Top CriticA comedy of low blows and elephantine misfires.
Top CriticThe Love Guru is downright antifunny, an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again.
Top CriticThe movie not only violates the Law of Funny Names (which are usually not funny), but rips it from the Little Movie Glossary and tramples it into the ice.
Top CriticIt's a silly spoof that is occasionally funny but grows tedious with excessive mugging and bad punning.
Top CriticThe Love Guru is so relentlessly juvenile as to merit a new twist on the PG-13 rating -- one that strongly cautions not only those under 13 but anyone much above it, too.
