They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Well 'they' obviously haven't seen 'The Love Guru', an overgrown dirt-patch of clunking juvenilia.

It's just deadly.

The Love Guru is insulting to anyone with a healthy sense of humor and the simple desire to laugh.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

If you're in the mood for a delightful tweak of today's self-actualizing New Age gurus, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you want to see gags about boogers, elephant poop, and mano-a-mano duels with mops drenched in urine, then this is for you.

The endless winks at the camera look more desperate, the jokes at Troyer's expense seem more tasteless.
Christopher Orr, The New Republic
