With the reviews this flick has been getting, the
expectations were low, but it delivered above and beyond
all hopes, questions, and desires for a quick bit of
raunchy humor. Basically, Austin Powers, the 60's man of
mystery is back and in full swing. This sequel delivers
all the laughs of the first Austin Powers, and even
more sick jokes than before. Basically, the plot is rather
unimportant in this movie, but the mere jokes were enough
to make it an excellent movie! Furthermore, a single
actor's ability to carry a movie so unbelievably far (in
Mike Myers) is simply amazing.
In general, Austin Powers the Spy Who Shagged Me, is funny.
There's no doubt about that. With jokes like "I shall name
this laser... the 'death star,'" and comebacks like "Ok..
DARTH... yeah... that's original... (cough) RIP OFF," the jokes
are so blunt and simple that it's simply hilarious! The
way Dr. Evil is portrayed is just histarical as well! Actually,
Dr. Evil is almost, no, he IS more likable than Austin
Powers with his hilarious character! I also must admit that
without Seth Green (Scott), this flick would NOT
be the same! Scott, as most would know, is Dr. Evil's "love
child." However, he seems to disappoint his father in
being.. "not evil enough." As a result, the family bicker
is just hilarious!
However, one must admit that at times, the jokes could
get a little raunchy and disgusting. For instance, NO ONE
WANTED TO SEE "FAT BAS" WITH HIS SHIRT OFF! EWWWWW! GROSS!
SICK, SICK AND DOUBLE SICK! Secondly, the fact that Austin
Powers is so... sex crazed is a little annoying as well.
I mean.. there IS a limit to that staying funny.. it might
have just been a little overdone. Nonetheless, the randomness
of the film was actually charming. The fact that all past
plots could be destroyed in a single second, kept the movie
intriguing.
In perfect honesty, there's really nothing left to say..
I mean.. come on... it's Austin Powers. However, let's just
end on this note: Austin Powers the Spy Who Shagged Me
is simply Shagadelic! I mean.. yeah baby yeah!
