Critics are slaughtering and I mean slaughtering Mike Myers' latest attempt at comedy, The Love Guru. Yes folks, move over The Happening, if you're looking for your next Gigli, critics are saying this flick is a strong contender.

As more reviews come in, the lower the tomatometer drops. With Gigli sitting pretty at a 6 percent approval rating and The Love Guru with only 12 percent, the question is — can The Love Guru be Gigli bad?

One review in particular pans the comedy saying, "Unfuckingbelievably unspeakably awful. The Love Guru is astonishingly rancid. There's a part of me, that wants The Love Guru to make like 75 Million opening weekend. Why? So that the entire – giant film going audience marks Mike Myers' death as a comedian."

Michael Phillips from the Chicago Tribune writes, " We're talking 15 or 20 minutes of decent material. The movie runs a little longer than that," while Bill Goodykoontz from the Arizona Republic complains, "When the funniest line in the movie is an outtake from Verne Troyer, you've got problems."

And during the writing of this post, The Love Guru dropped one percent on the tomatometer — edging the flick closer and closer to Gigli status. Only five more negative reviews to go!

Will you be seeing it this weekend? Think The Love Guru will be a box-office bomb? Get your movie odds at Bodog.
