Mike Myers used to be rather funny.
With this he has definitively taken away any doubt whatsoever. Mike Myers is about as funny as getting your teeth kicked in.
With an on racism bordering stereotype, a script without one single joke, Timberlake wearing a moustache ( which as we all know is fake. He has no facial hair whatsoever) and Ben Kingsley (That must have been one big favour you owed, mate) this is one of the worst comedies I've ever seen.

Ever wonder what would happen if you filled a burlap sack half full of huge rubber dildos, incense, hash pipes, and marmosets, then bashed it against a wall over and over and over again until it stopped making anything but a wet, meaty noise?
What would happen is this Bert.

This film is stupid, but I have to admit I laughed when I watched it

You'll end up wishing that somebody would put a plastic bag over Mike Myers head and let him die quietly.

Probably the worst movie I have ever seen. That is saying alot. I'm not surprised Mike Myers hasn't done anything since (I don't count the million Shrek sequels and spin-offs). I think he wrote this script and his Mom told him it was funny so he decided to make it. Mike, parents lie! Even Timberlake with a porn-stache can't save this film.

Widely regarded as the worst movie of all-time, this film's main problem is that it isn't funny. The plotting is actually half-decent, compared to other comedies I've seen recently. The best visual gag occurs in Verne Troyer's office, and the only genuine joke revolves around Mariska Hargitay -- and it is promptly used to death.
Sir Ben Kingsley, you don't need to be doing stuff like this. You're a proper actor.

It's every bit as bad as you've heard... and then some. Quite possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen, and definitely the worst of the year. The only movie that could come close to being worse this year is Disaster Movie, but I won't be seeing that one, so Mike Myers has a lock on the bottom spot.
Where do I start? Well let's just say you know you're in trouble when the first line in the movie is about growing up in a village called "Harenmahkeester" (the first of an endless stream of horribly unfunny puns and names), and the movie ends with elephants humping. Yeah, Fornicating elephants. In between, it never gets any better.

Characters spend so much time laughing at Mike Myers's antics, you almost get the sense how The Love Guru might have seemed funny on set. The film is a rare accomplishment, since I don't know that I've seen another comedy that never once lands a joke. Most gags are so mean-spirited or stupid, they're uncomfortable to watch. Mike Myers shtick is the worst thing ever; this is how you kill a career.

It's like slowing down to see a train wreck, then discovering that all the victims are half human, half horse. And you think, 'that was horrible to see, but it was mainly strange.'

This was awful, the only thing worth seeing was the outtake at the end with Verne Troyer. Not even kidding.

Tā kā esmu Austin Powers fans, manas gaidas šīs filmas sakarā acīmredzot bija pārmērīgas. Sižets klasisks, appušķots ar eksotiskiem elementiem, kaudze nesmieklīgo joku, kuriem pa vidu ir arī dažas smieklīgas epizodes (tostarp pāris dziesmas a-la Bolliwood). Lai vai kā, bezmaz vai pienākuma pēc noskatījos līdz galam.

This gets a lot of hate this one. I kind of like it though. Its nothing astounding but has some good bits of humour and is easy watching stuff. Perfectly fine.

I always felt that Mike Myers was an amusing talent, whose films got progressively worse. His early movies, like Wayne's World, So I Married an Axe Murderer and the first Austin Powers, are smart and funny. Unfortunately, the farther along you get, the...well, lazier his movies become, trading wit for vulgar humor, and not even very funny vulgar humor. After finally seeing the last Austin Powers film, I had decided that his movies couldn't really sink any further. Then I saw this one.
There are talented people in this film, but sadly, none of them manage to wring any laughs out of a predictable, trite script. Many times the movie even had the feeling of an Austin Powers film, recycling…
