To describe this holistic-healing comedy as anything other than terrible would be gross dereliction of duty, but I'll make one concession: it's kind of meant to be.

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 CriticIf you truly love yourself, do yourself a favour and avoid this spiritless comedy.
07/31/08
Top CriticA film so numbingly unamusing that you seriously question whether you were mistaken to have ever found Myers funny.

Top CriticThey say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Well ‘they’ obviously haven’t seen ‘The Love Guru’, an overgrown dirt-patch of clunking juvenilia.
07/31/08
Top CriticA comedy of low blows and elephantine misfires.
06/20/08
Top CriticThe Love Guru is downright antifunny, an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again.
06/20/08
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.
06/20/08
Top CriticNot only does the film stumble badly from one skit to another, the skits themselves have too much dead air.
06/18/08
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.
