Public Opinion

gurupic

As of today, The Love Guru has a 15 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer. Of the few reviews that didn't pan the film, one used the term "elephant sex" and another admitted that it was "juvenile," "strained" and "baggy."

We haven't seen it because we're pretentious, bitter haters who never got into Austin Powers the way other people did. But what about you? Anyone willing to fess up to watching The Love Guru? If so, did you like it?

    I wrote Mike Myers off after the second Austin Powers movie.

    "Per cent" would seem to imply that the scale goes up to 100…

    The film actually got 3.4 out of ten on Rotten Tomatoes. It's so annoying when your friends are like "WHOA! KNOCKED UP GOT 98%" because that only means that 98% of the critics who rated it gave it a healthy tomato. Just thought you pussies should know.

    I decided to eat poo instead, it would be more satisfying.

    Wall-E was great, I highly recommend it. This movie might even warm Dick Cheney's cold black heart a little.

    Wanted was really good to if you like over the top summer action movies.

    Oh I saw it…and surprisingly, there were some funny parts. None of them with Mike Myers though. I don't know how a scene can go from painful to funny and back to painful in 5 seconds. I'd have to say, it was better than the Zohan which was a painful excuse for Adam Sandler to use an obnoxious accent and the word humus as many times as possible.

    Let it alone, wait for the DVD and then satisfy your curiosity in privacy. 'swhat I did for "From Justin to Kelly." If I hadn't, I would have missed the pointless jet ski battle, as well as one of the most laughable musical final scenes I've ever seen in my life. I'm pretty sure Grease II had more artistic merit.

    Somewhere Cameron Diaz is quietly laughing her ass off.

    If a 60-second preview cannot elicit a laugh from me, how can two hours?

    My little brother saw it and liked it.
    My brother is also a 17 year old boy who worships potty humor.
    So, I don't take his opinion too seriously.

    I really like the name baghands. I'd prefer to see a movie call Baghands or Meat Train compared to this movie.

    No. 16 Helen Skor says:

    Mike Meyers really should have quit with "So I Married An Axe Murderer." Best movie ever.

    "Harriet. Harry-ette. Hard-hearted harbinger of haggis. Beautiful, bemuse-ed, bellicose butcher. Un-trust… ing. Un-know… ing. Un-love… ed? "He wants you back," he screamed into the night air like a fireman going to a window that has no fire… except the passion of his heart. I am lonely. It's really hard. This poem… sucks."

    No. 17 Andrea says:

    I watched it, and for one, I laughed a LOT. I will grant you that it was after smoking a blunt, but it made for a hell of a date movie.

    I especially liked the part where the young love guru makes an appearance. I seriously could NOT stop laughing.

    I saw it and thought it was funny although not Goldmember funny but still good. I am a huge MM fan ("Welcome to my submarine lair. It's long and hard and full of seamen…nothing, not even a titter? Tough sub") though so I'm kind of biased. At 34, my humor level IS that of a 17 year old male

    Helen - I absolutely love "Axe Murderer", soooo underrated. "Wow, you've turned into a right sexy wee bastard. Do you know that?"

    After I saw that movie, I went around repeating this poem - "Woman… woe-man… whoooa-man. She was a thief, you gotta believe, she stole my heart and my cat. Betty, Judy, Josie and those hot Pussycats… they make me horny, Saturday morny… girls of cartoo-ins will leave me in ruins… I want to to be Betty's Barney. Hey Jane… get me off this crazy thing… called love." Damned if I could remember the chart of the elements, but I knew my Mike Myers.

    One last one - "Look at the size of that boy's heeed!….I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick…HEED! MOVE!"

    Thanks Helen!

    LOL!!! How fun to stumble on a bunch of people who love "so I married an axe murderer" as much as I do! I quote the movie all the time. I also quote Austin Powers. And I will go see the Love Guru once I get the time. Campy or not, I love Mike Myers!! :-D
