The Love Guru, Funny yet Vulgar?

the love guru

Mike Myers has never been anything but over the top! This is exactly what can be said of his latest movie The Love Guru and his character Guru Pitka.
When there's a funny movie starring Myers, one should expect funny and vulgar ... so it ain't no surprise that that's what you get from The Love Guru!
There's also one point that turned heads, it's a stereotyping of Hindus in the movie! It all depends on how you see things, just funny or mean spirited?

The story is about a Guru who is out to teach the world how to spread the love and to show them that the key to enlightenment is through love.
The movie hit big screens yesterday and the first impressions have been widely diverse.

Some took it at heart and said that it's unfair and even offensive to Indians and Hindus!
Others took it lightly and had a laugh and said, it's Mike Myers and he doesn't really mean it, it's just for a laugh.
I mean come on, i say it again, if you're going to watch a comedy starring Mike, then you gotta expect some exaggeration and a few racial jokes! Nothing too serious, so cut the guy some slack!

The movie also stars some big names alongside Myers; Justin Timberlake, Jessica Alba and Ben Kingsley! That's gotta count for something!

Did you catch The Love Guru? What did you think?

    I liked The Love Guru even then I didnt think I was going to. Me and about 5 friends were planing on going to see Get Smart but the times for the love guru worked out better so we went to see that and it wasnt a huge disaster like I thought it would be.
