Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

I really like this film, even after all these years, in the land of movie sequels and as far as spy comedies go this one is still a riot.
The third in the series, it delivers with fresh characters and plenty of laughs from the spy world.



Ya baby ya !

Watching the first one so close to the second is a great way to see the slight quality difference. My main issue is that, overall, I think the first one is simply a better quality story. There are no dips in enjoyment at all. However, this one does have higher joke peaks. It's just that those tall peaks are next to some valleys that aren't as great. Still, quite a hilarious and fun time baby.

“Spectacle, testicles, wallet and watch”

The introduction of fat bastard and mini me is great. The whole dick rocket joke is fantastic. I love all these movies. They are so stupid and so funny.

It's more of the same with plenty of the same jokes but somehow I liked this film more than International Man of Mystery.

From 1999 to 2001, Mike Myers will dance to "I'm a Believer" from two different artists, in two different movies. Recommend watching the film with a hot pocket, or eggo.

Mike Meyers strikes again. You liked the fist one? You will also like this one.

Dr Evil is the real hero of the second movie of the saga. So much funny, most with the scene of Jerry's chronicle!

“I put the ‘Grr’ in swinger baby!” Austin Powers is back for more adventure in the smashing sequel Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. The story follows Dr. Evil and Austin Powers as they battle across time when Dr. Evil travels back to 1969 to steal Austin’s mojo while he was in cryostasis. Mike Myers, Heather Graham, and Seth Green have great comedic chemistry together and deliver some really good performances. Additionally, the satire is especially well-written, and is helped by keeping the story set in the ‘60s throughout most of the film. Hilarious and shagadelic, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me definitely has mojo baby, yeah!

“Mini me, you complete me.”

The second installment in Mike Myers's gentleman spy parody is something of an ugly duckling when compared to its siblings. Tossing away the more grounded themes and aspects of the first film, it dives headfirst into a sea of slapstick and never comes up for air. It's not a bad movie, nor is it unfunny; it merely dips into the well of recurring gags from the original too frequently and deals unfavorably with a tough set of growing pains.

The reverse time-travel elements are half-baked and don’t work, a shortcoming which the movie itself acknowledges by literally telling the audience not to take things too seriously. That may make for a good standalone punchline, but it doesn't solve the problem and as this follows in the footsteps of an excellently-written first film, it’s tough not to expect more. New cast members Mini-Me and Fat Bastard are brilliant additions who steal the spotlight every time they're on-screen, but Myers and flavor of the month Heather Graham never really connect as a duo. Simply going through the motions is good enough for a few laughs, but it's missing a lot of the invariables that made the series so successful to begin with.
