Oh, yes. It was very funny

I was surprised many people didn't love the Love Guru but then I realized they probably were not very familiar with the self-help community, self-help seminars, the Eastern Religious movement in America, or ever sat with a real guru. My familiarity with all of the above make everything so hilarious in the Love Guru that I have put this film in my top 20 films of all time.
Mike Myer's giggling guru was dead on! And his jogging hand waving again was so much like happy seminar self-help people that I nearly peed my pants. Guru Pitka's seminar was so funny. Mariska Hargity was genius. You know why these self-help millionaire people smile just like Mike Myers? Because they are making an easy living 9 to 5 telling us why we are miserable.
I brought my DVD to a Buddhist friend's house to see the movie and they thought it was delightfully funny. They were not offended in the least bit. I asked them if they knew Deepak Chopra and they pulled two of his books from the coffee table. I nearly choked with laughter.
Okay, so you don't get the movie. Go read some self-help book, go to a couple of seminars, take yoga and definitely go listen to a few guru. You will get it.
