Stupid Looking Movie Actually Stupid

This one's out of left field: The Love Guru, Mike Myers‘ most culturally insensitive project yet - one scene features the guru scratching himself like a dog while practicing this crazy thing called yoga - is bad. And not just fancy critics like AO Scott are saying as much. Even kiddie paper USA Today has few kind words for Guru:

The Love Guru (* * out of four) is enraptured by bathroom humor that doesn't even reach sophomoric standards. It's more on the level of preschool.

This send-up of feel-good, inspirational wisdom with a decidedly Indian flavor might have made a clever Saturday Night Live sketch. But as a movie, it's a silly spoof that is occasionally funny but grows tedious with excessive mugging and bad punning.
