dont waste your time on this movie,
By
This review is from: The Guru (DVD)
I brought this movie, not with very high expectations. Inspite of powerful performance by Heather Graham, playing an adult porn star in US, with an unusual sense of spiritual sexuality , Jimi Mistri, the Indian dance teacher who had come to US to become a big shot in Hollywood, and Marisa Tomei,the American girl who is obsessed with Guru culture, the plot has its inherent shortcomings. It ranks among one of the most disastrous and desperate attempts to make a comedy. Of course this movie should not be watched even with an ounce of seriousness....but even if you are looking for some light entertainment turning off your brains for a while (as many people want to do after a week's hard work), this movie will disappoint you....people are sort of hypnotized by the GURU ,so much so that they readily shake off their pants at his slightest indication...this is most unreal... can't they come up with something better if they are so desperate to profane the Indian Guru culture? the DVD is ok...sound and picture quality is average. i will give the movie 2 stars, mainly because of some good acting from Heather, Jimi and Marisa but the plot does not even deserve one star !

This review is from: The Guru (DVD)
I admit, I get hooked easily. This time, it was the opening scene, a dance class full of women in beautiful saris. The dance was the Macarena, and I almost fell off my chair laughing.After that, the movie gets off to a slow start, with Our Hero (Ram) moving to America, the land of opportunity. The opportunities aren't quite the ones he expected, or even really wanted. The first was thrust upon him when a faker of a fakir falls down drunk just before a performance. The second happens when he fails to get up for another kind of performance. Heather Graham does a great job as a warm-hearted woman of debatable morals. Marisa Tomei also does a great job as a warm-hearted woman of debatable judgement. No spoilers, but everyone ends up happy. It's sweet, silly amusement. It takes a while to get going, but it's worth the wait.

This review is from: The Guru (DVD)
I won't spend a lot of time on this as I've already wasted 95 minutes watching it. In short, this was one of the stupidest movies I've seen. The jokes aren't funny, just crude, and the plot is banal. Don't waste your time or money.
