The NYT's A. O. Scott delivers the smackdown:
["Less amusing than it should be"] might sum up “The Love Guru” in its entirety but only at the risk of grievously understating the movie’s awfulness. A whole new vocabulary seems to be required. To say that the movie is not funny is merely to affirm the obvious. The word “unfunny” surely applies to Mr. Myers’s obnoxious attempts to find mirth in physical and cultural differences but does not quite capture the strenuous unpleasantness of his performance. No, “The Love Guru” is downright antifunny, an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again.
And this is, come to think of it, something of an achievement.

Mike Myers has always been more of a ham than a comic actor, other than Wayne's World I've never really laughed at anything he did.
How many times has Decker seen it?
The "newspaper" here gave it two and half stars.
The frightening thing is that I thought exactly what Smiff wrote!
Smiff beats me to the punch again!
Ya got to get awfully late in the day to beat Smiff to da punch.
