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.

And now we know why Justin Timberlake was so crabby while doing press for this flick.

Trailer after the jump. Betcha can't sit through the whole thing.
