It recycles gags from earlier and better Myers movies and hopes that the audience won't notice because they're too busy staring at Timberlake's bursting Speedo.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
None of them -- not one, not for a moment -- is remotely funny.
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.
The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt
Not only does the film stumble badly from one skit to another, the skits themselves have too much dead air.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Phillips
The Love Guru”does not bring out Myer's best, and aside from a deft early Bollywood parody, there’s nothing visually to help the fun along.
Myers combines his love of references, silly names, and mindless repetition by having his guru use "Mariska Hargitay" as a greeting/mantra. The first time it's employed, it's merely unfunny; by the 13th or 40th time, it's almost hypnotic in its awfulness.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
Myers has made some funny movies, but this film could have been written on toilet walls by callow adolescents.
