The Guru movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: The movie offers up too many airy spiritual lessons in the hope of crossing from farce to sentiment. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: A mixed-up masala saved only partly by a charismatic cast. Read more
Howard Cohen, Miami Herald: Charmless and trite. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: It's as if somebody dropped three bad scripts on the floor of a production office, and somebody else picked up the pages in random order and said, 'Let's make a movie out of this! And let's get Heather Graham to star!' Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: As an experiment, The Guru bubbles over a bit, but still coaxes laughter from an audience while challenging its boundaries. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Devoid of life, intelligence, humor, and anything else that could entertain even the most undemanding viewer, this film is a perfect example of something that should have been shipped to landfills, not multiplexes. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: The bizarre outcome of this nervy conceptual hybrid is a movie that plays stylistic hopscotch as it jumps from one square to the next, teetering perilously each time it lands on one quaking ankle. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: If you're in the mood for something silly, here's your movie. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: Calibrated to please, The Guru is a down-market but enjoyable goof. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: A trifle, a silly one at that, but it's a charming trifle that's hard to resist. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: This very funny studio picture plays like an indie lark. Read more
Ray Conlogue, Globe and Mail: There is hardly a funny line in the whole script, and director Mayer has no idea of what comic timing and delivery are all about. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: This is the kind of movie for which the term 'guilty pleasure' was coined. Read more
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, L.A. Weekly: A geek-love homage to the musical romantic-comedy and its cross-cultural appeal, hitting all the formula marks with just enough tongue-in-cheek knowingness to buff off the tarnish. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: As a satire of charismatic cult movements, Tracey Jackson's screenplay merely toys with the possibilities. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: Mistry and co-star Heather Graham lend a fetching naivete to their characters. Read more
Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star: It feels like an upstart indie, thanks to its original script, endearing performances, colourful aesthetic, uplifting soundtrack, parodic undertones and the compelling theme of ethnic assimilation. Read more
Ed Park, Village Voice: Bolly-go-lightly hybrid The Guru manages to have its dosa and eat it, too -- allowing that culture is a con game, while seeking pleasure in the deception. Read more
