“Early on in the movie, Myers’ guru character, Pitka, is doing yoga and literally sticks his head up his own rear end. There could be no more apt metaphor for what ensues onscreen”

Too bad. MIke Myers pretty hit or miss..
More like he’s just past his prime. He was rock solid in the 90s but the last 7 years or so have been pretty mediocre.
Is it my imagination or did the letter grade for The Love Guru go from a “C” to a “D+” since you first posted it?
Not your imagination. Editorial decision that my review sounded too negative to merit a C.
The late Brandon Tartikoff, semi-genius of TV programming when he worked for NBC, tells the story in his book: he took a new job as head of production for Paramount Pictures and had to maek a deal with Myers, who was, obviously, also an NBC alum, but he found his old pal Mike to be an uterly pretentious prick who demanded Federico Fellini to direct his first film.
It’s also legendary how he sued Universal to prevent them from causing lasting damage to his reputation by forcing him to use a script written by…Mike Myers.
There are a LOT of people rooting for bad news on “Love Guru”.
Though bad blood is endemic in Hollywood. When James Cameron was considering putting up $20 million for a Soyuz ride into space, the joke was, “Where’d he get the money? The crew took up a collection”.
