 Bad karma has descended on The Love Guru in the form of a display of single stars, F grades, and downturned thumbs from critics. "This film could have been written on toilet walls by callow adolescents," writes Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times. A.O. Scott in the New York Times recalls star Mike Myers's earlier successes, then remarks that he "sees to have lost his touch." Joe Neumaier, writing in the New York Daily News, condemns the movie as "an atrocious, idiotic 88 minutes of anti-entertainment." And Kyle Smith in the New York Post concludes his review by remarking, "Comparing the comedy in this film and that of Get Smart, the weekend's other big release, is like asking whether Hamas or Hezbollah puts on a nicer Easter parade." |
