The frustrating thing about 'The Love Guru' is is that Mike Myers still has expert comic timing, but he's shelved almost every form of humour except sniggering references to genitalia, flatulence and most varieties of bodily fluid: it's perhaps inevitable that the film climaxes with a pair of rutting elephants.

So who is it aimed at? The jokes are too immature for most teenagers, and yet the phallocentric plot won't encourage many parents to buy the DVD for their young ones.
