The Love Guru Gets Plenty of Bad Reviews

The Love Guru is finally out and what seemed to be an exciting production from the brilliant mind of Mike Myers seems more and more like a flop…

justin timberlake is a love guru

While the movie only came out today, media outlet have been posting their reviews in the past couple of days and things don’t look good. Maybe we should go see Anne Hathaway on Get Smart rather than Jessica Alba on The Love Guru.

Here are what some sites had to say:

NPR’s Marco Schnabel writes: “Austin Powers and Shrek have nothing to worry about — but unsuspecting audiences sure do.” He adds that regardless of the participation of Stephen Colbert, Ben Kingsley and John Oliver “None of them — not one, not for a moment — is remotely funny.”

The Chicago Tribune says: ‘The Love Guru’: No enlightenment, few laughs

The Houston Chronicle writes: Little to love in Myers’ Guru

PennLive.com asks: Where’s the Love?

Empire Movies says that while 80% of people did not give the movie a chance, he went to watch it with an objective mind. However, even that didn’t help because “Mike Myers could not save this movie. The Maple Leafs winning The Stanley Cup could not save it. I’m not even sure if Jessica Alba would have flashed those perfect breasts of hers that “The Love Guru” could have been saved. It’s that bad.

Other headlines read Can’t love this ‘Guru’, “Love Guru” not so deepak and There’s nothing to love about Myers.
