Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Tweekums As this, the first Austin Powers sequel, gets underway our protagonist learns that his new wife is in fact a fembot who tries to kill him! If that wasn't enough Dr Evil is back; he has a miniature clone, dubbed Mini-Me'; and he has a diabolical plan. He and Mini-Me will use a time machine to travel back to 1969 and steal Austin's mojo. This lead to Austin suddenly failing to perform in bed in the '90s. There is only one thing for it; he must return to the sixties and get his mojo back. Here he teams up with US agent Felicity Shagwell and starts tracking down Dr Evil. He meanwhile has a new dastardly plan; he will place a laser on the moon and use it to destroy cities if his demands aren't met.After the success of the first film a sequel was almost inevitable. The jokes are similar so if you enjoyed the original you'll probably enjoy this film as well. The humour is fairly puerile at times… sometimes this is funny but some gags are a bit weak and are dragged on far too long; most notably the comments about Dr Evil's somewhat phallic rocket. The story provides lots of amusing nods to Bond and other films, notably Star Wars. The best addition to the series is Mini-Mi; he doesn't say anything but just about everything he does is funny; Verne Troyer does a fine job in the role. Heather Graham's appearance as Felicity Shagwell was a lot of fun; she was sexy without just being a cypher. Unfortunately we also get 'Fat Bastard'; a character who is revolting rather than amusing. Overall I'd say this was funny enough but lacked the charm, and inevitably the originality, of the original.

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.

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.

BA_Harrison With Canadian comedian Mike Myers such an unapologetic Anglophile, its not surprising that the humour in his Austin Powers films is a blend of two of Britain's most celebrated comedic styles: Pythonesque surrealism and Carry On crudity (toilet humour and double entendres). The Spy Who Shagged Me, the second in Myers' spoof spy series, provides 95 minutes of sheer lunacy for fans of such fare, delivering a constant stream of gags about poo, farts, bottoms, and willies, wacky homages to 60s spy movies, off-beat skits introducing such bizarre characters as an overweight, baby-eating Scotsman called Fat Bastard and Dr. Evil's dwarf clone Mini-Me (Verne Troyer), lots of fun star cameos (including Jerry Springer, Burt Bacharach, Will Ferrell, Tim Robbins and Woody Harrelson), some very silly time travel shenanigans, and the sexiest secret agent sidekick ever to grace the silver screen in the lovely form of Heather Graham as the aptly named Felicity Shagwell.It might not be all that sophisticated, but it ain't half funny!
