Synopsis:

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.

Liquor up front ... Poker in back ...... oh my god, I just got that! August 4, 2008

I went to see the apparently vulgar film with a friend of mine. It wasn't great entertainment by any stretch of the imagination and more could have been achieved with such an idea but what is presented was lacking in imagination. It was humorous, personally I found laughing at a group of fools to be oddly refreshing and it was all very tongue in cheek and the two elephants making 'happy' - well, it was all in the worst possible taste wasn't it, you can say that for most of the film - yet this is ultimately a cheap film from Myers, the obscene jokes have a shocking impact which make you laugh once - for their inappropriateness but I doubt I'll watch it again ... well, maybe only to watch the opening song 9 - 2 - 5 ... it was fun, but I can't rave about the whole film..............

Personally I enjoyed this comical movie. While not as good as the Austin Powers movies, it still has its funny moments and it will make you laugh. Mike Myers, as usual, plays a very comical and hillarious character, aka the LOve Guru.

Anyone who enjoyed Austin Powers 1, 2, and 3 will enjoy this comedy. I recommend that anyone who wants to have a good laugh and enjoy themselves, then the Love Guru is for you!

Buy and enjoy baby yeah!

If you want to laugh, get this movie!!!! Mike Meyers has done it again. This is a winner!!!! All the way from Mike meyers, Verne Troyer, Jessica Alba, to the cameos of Val Kilmer and Mariska Hartigay, this move is funny. Peppered with humor known to come from Meyers, this move will have you in stitches. Meyers definitely scored a goal in my book!!!!

i can understand allot of people's misdirection with the humor in this film. It may not be relevant to everybody! But if anyone wants to get this movie i wish to elaborate on some other BBC old classic shows that may help people relate to it more:

Comedy Now! Starring Russell Peters

Now what do these comedies have in common with this movie? well to be perfectly blunt, nothing! except they have a "Desi" or Indian humor melted into it! i was surprised how Mike (chastity belt wearing neo-philosopher) Myers was able to pull off the accent and the movements, gestures so perfectly. The guy really reinvented himself in this film. I heard allot from people that this film is not cohesive, not related to anything and just makes people loose interest! I totally understand that especially myself being a mixed bag of potatoes myself!

Sadly the audience to really get this film have to have had some affinity with the following forms of humor:

British / American / Indo-Asian /

This might sound a bit wacky but every "hybrid" (which i define having been brought up in all those 3 cultural settings) i have spoken to finds this movie a masterpiece! Other folks just could not get the humor which is fine! Overall this film has made me laugh no matter how many time i have watched it! (15 by my count)
