The Love Guru is insulting to anyone with a healthy sense of humor and the simple desire to laugh.

Rotten
If you're in the mood for a delightful tweak of today's self-actualizing New Age gurus, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you want to see gags about boogers, elephant poop, and mano-a-mano duels with mops drenched in urine, then this is for you.

The endless winks at the camera look more desperate, the jokes at Troyer's expense seem more tasteless.
