Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

justin-fencsak This sequel to one of the surprise comedy hits of 1997 outgrossed the original by a lot, and for good reason, it blends in humor with fatherhood alongside a rising model star and a great soundtrack. I saw this in a packed theater and laughed a lot!!! The casting, sets, soundtrack, and effects are good!! It's worth watching multiple times on TV if there's nothing else good on TV. The sequel that followed this wasn't as good as this one.

tomgillespie2002 It's surprising to think that the first Austin Powers movie underwhelmed at the box office back in 1997, only picking up a cult following after its VHS release, and soon enough you couldn't escape the sound of someone yelling "yeah, baby!" every 5 minutes. By the time it's sequel hit the cinema screens, the character, along with the super-spy's arch-nemesis Dr. Evil, had garnered a huge mainstream following, and the movie was a big hit. Yet the film, subtitled The Spy Who Shagged Me, suffers from the same problems as most comedy sequels, which is basically to re-tread the same successful jokes from the first movie, and forgetting what made the original so fresh and charming.Powers (Mike Myers) is a randy, free-love type-of-guy from the 60's. When he was re-awoken from his cryogenic state in the 90's, his out- of-date attitudes put him at odds with a society that had grown more stiff-upper-lipped. Crowds of screaming girls would no longer chase him down the street a la A Hard Day's Night (1964) and sexy girls wouldn't be willing to bed him at the drop of a hat. When Dr. Evil (also Myers) arrives back to Earth with a plan to steal Powers' mojo, the characters find themselves time-travelling again back to the 60's, where gorgeous super-agent Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham) is ready and willing, but Powers lack the mojo to do anything about it. Most of what made the first movie so successful was that Powers was a man out of time, so by placing him back into his natural surroundings, the opportunity to create funny set- piece's are few and far between.The dentally-challenged Brit is instead lumped with a dull romance with Shagwell, which is a carbon-copy of the relationship between Powers and Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley), only with the roles reversed. In fact, Powers seems to play second-fiddle to Dr. Evil, whose ridiculously outlandish plots and newly-created sidekick Mini-Me (Verne Troyer) annoy his estranged son Scott Evil (Seth Green) and provide the majority of the film's laughs. An early scene where Evil appears on Jerry Springer with his son is hilarious, and the film is at its most inspired when the focus is on the bad guys. The Spy Who Shagged Me is also more gross-out than it's predecessor, continuing a trend set by There's Something About Mary (1998) and re-establishment of the teen sex comedy set by American Pie (1999), so Myers introduces a vile character called Fat Bastard who speaks with a Scottish accent and is permanently covered with chicken bits, whose scenes tend to induce more cringes than laughs. It's funny enough to justify its third instalment, but it lacks the satire, sweetness and freshness of the original.

SnoopyStyle Austin Powers (Mike Myers) is trying to live happily-ever-after with Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley) but she turns out to be a deadly fembot. At least, he's single again. The gang is back. Number Two (Robert Wagner) clones Dr. Evil to create Mini-Me (Verne Troyer). His son Scott Evil (Seth Green) is not quite evil enough. He and Mini-me travel in his time machine to 1969 to steal Austin Powers' mojo. Fat Bastard is the baby-eating disgruntled inside man who steals the mojo. Austin travels back in time in his VW convertible Bug to stop them with the help of CIA agent Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham).It's almost as fun as the original. The addition of Mini-Me is genius. "Stop humping the laser." Heather Graham is hot in her booty shorts. Rob Lowe replacing Robert Wagner as the younger Number Two works. I can do without the gross Fat Bastard. The gross-out jokes don't really fit. Quite frankly, James Bond never had a Fat Bastard equivalent. He's the only one that sticks out.

Seth Landers I'll admit, the story is nearly identical to the first. I'm in no denial of that but that doesn't make it a bad movie. They introduce new characters, like Fat Bastard and Mini Me, and it's still really funny to watch. In my opinion, Heather Graham is much sexier than Elizabeth Hurley, which is a definite plus.Austin Powers is back and this time, he's lost his mojo! Yeah, his mojo is in the form of liquid in a metal container that Dr. Evil now possesses. He goes back in time to stop Dr. Evil from taking over his mojo and redeems himself as the memorable hero we've all grown to love. When I was little, I was frustrated at the series because I didn't understand the sexual innuendos. Now that I'm an adult, the jokes are a lot funnier and I'm glad that Myers maintains our affection for him as the hero. Sure, he's dim-witted and sometimes over the top but the character has a lot of heart, which is why I think the franchise has been so successful.Personally, I enjoyed "International Man of Mystery" the most and I put "Goldmember" second. At the same time, this second one is still a lot of fun and Roach is very skillful with his direction. If you're a fan of the series, I'd say give it a watch and enjoy it for what it is!
