...might just be the most puerile mainstream movie ever made...

It’s hard to take any of it seriously -- which would be fine if it were funny, but it’s not.

I guess the real audience is 40 year-old men with the mind of an 8 year-old.

Allow me to say this very clearly: this is not a good movie.

It appears Myers did not have someone behind the camera reigning him in. Too bad.

Myers has his head in the toilet more than a Florida State University freshman co-ed during homecoming weekend.

Like a kid let loose in a toy store, this bad boy horny guru could have used more direction, but he does impress with his driving skills atop a pachyderm, during elephant sex.

...fairly mindless stuff that may appeal to die-hard Myers fans.

I am still comfortable believing Myers is a comic genius, but it's no where to be seen here.

The whole vaguely pitiable enterprise has tiny flickers of brilliance which can’t be denied, but almost can’t be detected, either.

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
07/21/08
The satire of Bollywood musicals is obvious but about the closest thing to humour in what is undoubtedly the worst comedy of the year.
07/18/08
As the celebrity love guru of Los Angeles, Mike Meyers delivers jokes so poorly that they just clang to the floor like metal weights.

Myers has a borderline-pathological need to mock Verne Troyer's height. It stops being funny quickly.
07/01/08
Incredibly unfunny.

So sari, Mike Myers. Your spoof of "Bollywood" stinks.
06/27/08
Schnabel’s bland direction expresses no particular vision.
