Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A hilarious comedy starring Mike Myers as guru Pitka in his first original character since the blockbuster hit Austin Powers. Myers plays an American raised in India by gurus (Tugginmypudha & Satchabigknoba) and returns to the U.S. in order to break into the self-help business. His unorthodox methods are put to the test when he must settle the romantic troubles and subsequent professional skid of a star hockey player (Romany Malco), whose wife left him for a rival athlete Jacques Grande (Justin Timberlake). Mini Me is back from Austin Powers and plays the hockey coach for more classic comedic moments that will have audiences laughing from opening to closing credits.
Amazon.com:
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
Customer Reviews

Rating:  - No where near as bad as some reviewers claim.
I guess there are a lot of reviewers here who when it comes to a decent comedy to watch, they roll in hysterics at something as lame as The Jamie Kennedy Experiment or the voice over man repeating the same old lines over a video of someone falling down on un-funniest home videos.
I wish I had not taken any notice of the negative reviews this movie received when it was in theaters and actually gone to see it.
Mike Myers plays the Love Guru, not a dissimilar role to those seen in Austin Power movies, however, the comedy is definitely strong throughout this whole movie.
The Guru is a kid who is taken in by a group that look Indian, but pretty much fictional who teach him that to find love, you must first find love in yourself...yadda yadda... anyway, he grows up and is hired by a woman to go back to Canada with him to help there star Ice Hockey player get himself together.
It doesn't sound like much of a plot to be helping him, himself and others to find a happy ending sort of thing, but it's a comedy, and the comedy works pretty well through out most of the movie. Some things you feel are a bit stale as you have seen Mike Myers do them before, but there is a lot of gags and jokes that just make you burst out laughing during the movie.
It wont win any prizes for greatest character or plot, or any best film awards, but who cares, it's just a feel good comedy with typical Mike Myers humor all through it.

Rating:  - Mike Myers left field humor
Fantastic flick. Its a bit of a stretch for the normal movie fan, but I found this highly addictive and funny- my friends and I continuously quote the movie which is a sign that its a definitely an awesome flick !
Don't buy into all the negative reviews... watch it for yourself.
Rating: - Stupid, but funny
It was funnier than I expected. Not a gotta have it movie, but a pretty good movie nevertheless.
Rating: - Hilarious!! You will enjoy it if you like goofy comedies!
I LOVED IT!! Don't listen to what the people said about "this being trash or a waste of time." If you enjoy watching the Austin Powers movies you will Love this! Thoroughly entertaining, hilarious, and isn't that what comedies are supposed to be about!?! There are a lot of hidden jokes in this movie that I got, and it made me laugh throughout the entire movie. If you don't get all the jokes you will still laugh, I promise my fiance' did. Great Movie!! I have missed Mike Myers...
So enjoy, eat some popcorn, have a crown and coke, and laugh all night!!
