Editorial Reviews

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

Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Blu-Ray Transfer, January 22, 2009

By	Laura Raile "deal seeker" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Love Guru (Two-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] + Digital Copy (Blu-ray)

I know this movie just received the award for worst movie of the year. However, I laughed myself silly over and through this movie. I am not giving it a five star rating for content but will not apologize for liking it either. I am instead giving it a five star rating as the picture and sound are so sharp. The many colors of this movie are absolutely gorgeous. If you like this movie and are on the fence on if you want to own it on Blu-ray, I would definitely recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mike got it right this time!, December 30, 2008

By	Austin Ng Tse Ann "Austin Ng" (Singapore) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well just let me start off with the Austin Powers Trilogy where everyone got a taste of mike myers brand of comedy. But to me, We see bits and pieces of his zanyness scattered throughout the trilogy.

The Love Guru, however, i must say his "zanyness" and humor comes through effectively in the dialogue and almost every scene. This is mike Myers at his best! i'm surprised at the bad reviews this movie got. i was laughing my heads off in almost every scene.

So go grab this movie and some popcorns! This is a "do not have to think too hard" movie that will definitely bring the smiles back to you for at least the duration of the movie!

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 !
