It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Contrary to some reviews, this is funnier than the first, some jokes where typical of the first but worked better in this sequel. The addition of Minnie-me was so creative as was the performance of Seth Green as Scott, as a silly comedy, it is what it is silly and entertaining, it just does not get old.

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.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999): Dir: Jay Roach / Cast: Mike Myers, Heather Graham, Verne Troyer, Rob Lowe, Seth Green: Sequel is more of the same yet with some added vulgar bits. Its slang title is based on the 1977 Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, and was controversial in some countries. It has a hilarious opening where Dr. Evil is a guest on The Jerry Springer Show. After an unsuccessful honeymoon Austin's mojo is stolen by Dr. Evil. With a suddenly available time machine Powers ventures back to 1969 to stop him. Director Jay Roach is skilled at comedy but the idea that Powers never needed his mojo makes the plot totally useless. Mike Myers effectively plays three roles. Asides from Powers and Dr. Evil he also plays evil agent Fat Bastard. Heather Graham plays Miss Shagwell whose name sums up her nature. She seems to have better chemistry with Myers than Elizabeth Hurley, whose role was too much of a romantic cliché. Rob Lowe is hilarious as agent #2 despite the fact that the role is somewhat reduced. Verne Troyer steals scenes as Mini-Mi who is a clone of Dr. Evil. He conducts whatever orders given until he is "flushed" into space. Seth Green also returns as Scott Evil whose status as Dr. Evil's son is pushed aside by Mini-Mi. Great colourful production and makeup effects highlight this sequel with a screenplay that was totally shagged. Score: 4 / 10

Mike Meyer's three Austin Powers flicks parody James Bond and the swinging 60s-70s. They are as follows: "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (1997), "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999) and "Austin Powers in Goldmember" (2002). What's interesting about these films is that Austin Powers (the character) is not a full spoof of 007 as he's his own character, just with Bond-like qualities.Anyway, I wasn't sure I wanted to review any these flicks because, by doing so, I'm admitting that I actually watched them (lol)! I say this because they're so goofy, juvenile, silly, sometimes raunchy (more verbally than pictorially) and filled with toilet humor. So I was never a fan and didn't even watch any of them until 2009. What turned me off? Besides the toilet humor and raunch, Powers (the character) seemed to have a gayish quality despite being a renowned ladies man in the stories. A good example is when he says, "Oh, beHAAAve," which never struck me as funny, just gay.I've since seen all three twice and, despite my reservations about Powers and distaste for toilet humor, I do enjoy the zaniness and stoo-pid humor. If you can catch a grip with these films they're laugh-out-loud funny about a third of the time, sometimes more depending on the movie."The Spy Who Shagged Me" is my favorite of the three simply because it's the funniest IMHO, but the third one comes close to matching it. Meyers and his team were brimming with confidence and creativity after the box office success of the first film. Heather Graham replaces Elizabeth Hurley as Austin's babe while Rob Lowe appears as the young version of Number Two. Mini-Me and Fat Bastard are introduced.Best quote: "Riiiiiiigggghhhttt." The film runs 95 minutes and was shot in Southern California and Seattle, Washington.GRADE: B+
