Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
These movies aren't parodies. They're sporadically funny, obnoxiously disgusting and full of incessant references to modern (and now out of date) culture that really don't stand the test of time. Troyer is great, the giant flying genitals are inspired, and Dr. Evil is a national treasure.
The Spy Who Shagged Me, Austin Powers' 2nd installment, hits the funny bone a lot harder than International Man of Mystery. The story is easy going; Dr. Evil (Myers) wants to destroy the world, Austin Powers (Myers) wishes to save it. That's it. This time though, he must do it without his mojo; the Doc went back in time to the 60's and stole it from Austin's cryogenic form. It reverses its role from the previous outing. IMOM saw the hero and villain hit the future with naivety, TSWSM has them bringing the 90's back with them. It makes little sense, has no new gags, but its execution is better. The poo and dick jokes outweighs the flops, which comes down to two things; new faces and old. Heather Graham surpasses Hurley in looks and sensuality. She's the girl that likes to 'hop on the good foot and do the bad thing'. Evil is Myer's more intricate character, the relationship with his son Scott (Green) is a constant barrel of laughs, from their family dispute on Jerry Springer to father & son therapy. Myer's new addition Fat Bastard is a loose cannon who gets the worst (jokes) of the worst, but Verne Troyer's Mini Me adds discrimination to the fold. Same as before, fans of the first will love, but it's very unlikely that TSWSM will gain new ones.Check out my other film reviews on http://straighttelling.co.uk
The original Austin Powers film kind of took a lot of people by surprise by its success. Therefore, a sequel proved too hard for studio bosses to resist. The first film lovingly lampooned the early James Bond films perfectly, always poking fun while never being cruel. Some may think that it would be hard to stretch this concept out into two movies. I myself was cynical, but I'm glad to say that I was wrong.'Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me' is - amazingly - even funnier than the first film. It's even more daft, even more crude and just simply great fun to watch. You have to have a kind of silly sense of humour to really appreciate it, but I'm glad to say that, judging by the fact that it took lots more at the box office that its predecessor, I'm not the only one to think so.Its success is majorly down to the cast. There's never a bad performance and nearly every smutty joke is timed to perfection. Special credit to its writer/star Mike Myers who introduces yet another disgustingly wonderful character to his repartee - 'Fat B*****d' who, dare I sat the voice was a precursor to a famous green ogre he was later to voice.Dr Evil is again back to stop his ultra trendy nemesis Austin Powers from thwarting him by... well, who cares? The film-makers certainly don't let story get in the way of giving you a fun time. Ignore the plot holes in this film - the film itself even pokes fun at how not everything actually makes sense and just enjoy the ride (again).
To be honest this is the first Mike Myers,, or any Austin Powers movie that I seen I got it at Goodwill for 50 cents. it was worth it,, I thought it was thoroughly entertaining,, I loved the part about where he says nothing really happened in the 70 and 80's except for the Gas Crisis,, and some Seagulls,, thought that was priceless as I'm old enough to remember both,, Austin defeated Dr. Evil previously and has sent him back to the freezer in exile,, well the dead don't stay dead for long,, transport Austin from 1969 to 1999 and now the fun starts,, the two do battle once again,, I love the Mini Me character how lovable.. and the character Fat Bastard,, gotta love that one,, Heather Graham is sexy as ever, in those cute little outfits she wears,, I thought the comedy was pretty darn good in this movie,, thumbs up
