What Parents Need to Know
About The Love Guru
Parents need to know that the many kids who like Austin Powers are going to be eager to see Mike Myers' latest ribald comedy about a wacky, catchphrase-spouting character in goofy makeup who enjoys vulgar misadventures before finally managing to triumph (especially since it costars Jessica Alba and Justin Timberlake). But this movie has a coarser feel than the Powers trio. The language and sexual innuendoes are constant, unsubtle, and over the top (expect everything from an elephant pooping on screen to references to masturbation and oral sex); there are drinking and drug references; and products and brand names are almost as prevalent as Myers' cheeky grin. That's a whole lot of iffy content to sit through for only a few laughs.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the appeal of Mike Myers' over-the-top characters and broad comedic style. What makes characters like Austin Powers and Guru Pitka funny? Are they affectionate caricatures or stereotyped cartoons? Are we expected to laugh at Pitka because he says funny things or because his dress and accent are "funny" to Western eyes and ears? Do you think Myers' portrayal of Pitka is racist? And do you think Pitka's positive messages come through amid all of the fistfights, urine jokes, and sex comedy? Is the message more important than the medium, or is the movie's feel-good philosophy a way to try to dignify lowbrow comedy?

mike meyers-groin hit king
ok, in each mike myere's movie the lead character(s) is hit anywhere below the belt. in the first austin powers, austin flips into the car and hits his groin/testicles on the gear shifts ect, in the sequel, as midget knees him in the crotch, bites him between the legs, in the third one the midget again shoves his foot into myer's scrotum, now in this one, guru pitka takes a punch to the penis, he groans, and doubles over, teens love this.

This movie is very funny. People give it bad reveiws because it is all about sex. It is a movie for teens with this sense of humor.

Get over yourself! Love Guru is FINE!
'Parents' on this site seem to think kids know nothing about "sex, drugs, and language." Come on! It doesn't impact us when we see it in theaters! We see it everywhere! School, books, T.V., music, etc. This site is made up of stuck up people who obviously know nothing about their children's lives. This movie is funny! It's got great actors that make you smile! The trailer isn't misleading! If you like Mike, Justin, hockey, humor, etc. it will make you laugh. Sheesh parentals! Stop being so uptight!

I left before I lost my mind
If you liked Austin Powers, stay home and remember Mike Myer in good memory. I think I stayed for a whole 11 minutes and went next door to the Hulk movie to wake up. I haven't manatorily theatre hopped since high school... Today's PG-13 is R from when I grew up.

No, no, just no
Well, where do I begin, horrid language, so much sex it hurts, and it seemed like the whole thing was a commercial. I saw this thinking that it would be funny like Austan Powers, but boy was I wrong. There is so much in the way of sex, it blocks out all the good things about it like, Mike Myers is back, and... um... well... its kinda funny. The Language in this movie is horrid, the words (and I'm quoting common sense) "a--," "penis," "dinkbag," "b---h," "prison b---h," "doggy style," "s--t," "crap," "prick," "hos," "dump," "whizz," "nutsack," jackoff," "pubes," "balls," and "a--hole." There is not a lot of violence in it, but that is not an excuse for all the sex that is in this movie. When I was watching this movie, I found that the only funny perosn in this film is Stephen Colbert, not Mike Myers (dose that seem odd to anyone else?). I love Mike Myers, but if this is what he has stooped this low, I hope he isn't in any more movies any time soon. This movie gets a 1 out of 5

Very Funny!
I saw this with some friends and all of us laughed at this film. The film features the funny Mike Myers and the beautiful Jessica Alba in this slap-stick comedy. NOTE: It does contain a lot of sexual humor but none of it is actually explicit as for the film pretty much censors itself and the jokes are implied rather than flat-out said.

another cool mike myers movie
