From Amazon.co.uk
Mike Myers, creator of Wayne's World and Austin Powers, adds another character to his arsenal of comic personae. With his thick beard, curly mustachios, and easy-to-remember aphorisms, Guru Pitka (Myers) has built a reputation as love advisor par excellence--but he's still just America's #2 guru, after Deepak Chopra. Finally an opportunity comes his way: If he can heal the rift between a star hockey player (Romany Marco, Weeds) and his wife (Meagan Good, Stomp the Yard), he can appear on Oprah. But when he meets the hockey team's comely owner (Jessica Alba), Pitka realises he must solve his own love problems as well. Myers can't resist a good bodily functions joke--unfortunately, he can't resist a bad one either, so The Love Guru is crammed top to bottom with jokes about urine, feces, sex, genitalia--lots and lots about male genitalia--along with many, many gags about Canada, drugs, elephants, inspirational catchphrases, and little people (Vern "Mini-Me" Troyer takes the brunt of these). But the Austin Powers movies were pretty much the same sort of lowbrow comedy grab-bag; though the ratio of good to bad might be weaker here, a good handful of bits offer solid laughs, including some mock-Bollywood musical numbers. Also featuring pop star Justin Timberlake (as a preposterously well-endowed French-Canadian), Ben Kingsley (as Pitka's cross-eyed mentor), Stephen Colbert (as a drug-addled sports announcer), as well as numerous celebrity cameos. --Bret Fetzer

The bottom line is: this movie made me laugh. I am glad I bought this movie because I can see myself watching it again and laughing again with it.
If you like Mike Myers you should give a try. As you can see, some people hate it, some people love it. I think this movie has an undeniable charm, and if you want to find another excuse to watch it Jessica Alba looks very cute, and Justin Timberlake does a good acting job.
I am into B movies and world cinema, but sometimes it's just really difficult to find a fun movie that has such a feel good factor as this one. Oh well, yes, it's a little bit dumb, but I had a great time. Sit down and relax, take it easy. It's not gonna be always about war dramas and psychological thrillers. Don't you think?

Blu-ray good; Video not so good
Only our second-ever blu-ray. The picture is excellent, the plot is just daft. Not all that funny either.
