The Guru: funny, feel-good film
I had never heard of this film until it was recommended to me by my sister. Imagine 'Coming to America' meets a 1950's Hollywood musical. Except they are coming to America from India. Stars Marisa Tomei and a cute Indian boy. He wants to be a movie star but his first role turns out to be a porn film. He takes sex lessons from the porn star. He hooks up with a NYC socialite (Tomei) and becomes the 'Sex Guru,' promoting himself on talk shows, Deepak Chopra-style.
The movie is hilarious and campy without being vulgar and I would highly recommend it.
Would anyone recommend any other movies that are equally entertaining?

"without being vulgar"
it was aweful - really really aweful. I am please my parent will never see this film. A drunk indian priest, a "guru" of sex? please - utter crap. check out ww.blinkx.com for more "realistic" reviews on the guru and search for better films.
