To me, this movie is perfection.

Sadly Over-hyped

best movie i've ever seen.

As Good As It Gets

Simply put, your enjoyment of this second Austin Powers installment will hinge on your feelings regarding the first one, as there isn't a whole lot of change in tone.For a basic plot summary, "The Spy Who Shagged Me" sees Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) return to Earth to continue his battle with British super-spy Austin Powers (Myers). This time around, the action takes place in the "groovy" 1960s.Though the jokes are very similar (in some cases almost identical) to the original, a few key changes add in enough originality to keep things relatively fresh.The addition of Mini-Me (diminutive Verne Troyer) creates another classic character. Plus, just when you thought a female lead couldn't get any hotter than Elizabeth Hurley, they find Heather Graham (!).Essentially, this movie is a simple continuation of its predecessor, for better or worse. I thought it actually slightly eclipsed the first one due to less "Bond spoofs' and more focus on the crazy character antics/humor.

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

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!

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
