Summary: Where's the plot?
Review: OK, this is where 90% of the world disagrees with me. While I laughed more at various points during this movie ("You're the Diet Coke of evil, just one calorie, not evil enough.") I was highly disappointed with the plot, (Plot? What plot?) which the first movie actually had... also Heather Graham's acting got really poor towards the end. Still, good for some very hearty laughs.

Summary: Admirable but not Superior Sequal
Review: The 2nd Austin Powers comes out blazing and for a solid 1/3 of the movie is superior to the first. Up until a scene with SNL alumni Will Ferrell - a scene that falls flat and sucks the momentum right out of the film (Myers should know better than to jinx himself with any SNL alumni in a sequal). The sequal never fully recovers. Heather Graham rocks as Powers' sidekick, but they neglect to give her very much to do once she shows up. Most of the familiar faces (including Seth Green and Frau Farbissina) have yet to wear out their roles and most of the additions work as well (from Mini Me to Rob Lowe). Things get a tad silly and convoluted at the end. If you enjoyed the 1st - you can't miss this one, but whereas the 1st left you wanting more, this one left you wanting a little less.

Summary: Surprisingly Good
Review: I didn't expect much from the flick, but I was pleasantly surprised. The whole thing was quite funny, although it is a bit crass. I especially enjoyed Dr. Evil, this was the best depiction of the pathetic banality of evil I've seen in movies. Evil is just like your evil boss, an incompetent bully who has no clue. I also enjoyed the sadistic midget, MiniMe.

Summary: Not as glibly satirical as the first
Review: This film, unlike the first, isn't confident. The first "Austin Powers" poked fun at the idea of a '60s spy, and how in today's overtly politically correct society he would be seen as a sexist pig. The other satirical target was the James Bond series.
Thus, in this film (which was much more successful than the first) we are paraded with an endless series of raunchy jokes. But don't let that scare you away - on that level it's very fun.
Indeed, it is hard to find movies that are more quotable than this.
Examples:
"I put the GRRRR in Swinger, baby!!"
"Shall we shag now or shall we shag later?"
"Hey, 'In Like Flint'! That's my favorite mewvie!"
"Hop on the good foot and do the bad thing!"
"It got weird, didn't it?"
"We will have two moon units - Moon Unit Alpha and Moon Unit Zappa."
"When a problem comes along, you must ZIP IT!" I don't believe I need to write anymore. Buy this DVD (which, by the way, is stocked with extra features) simply for the excellent dialogue it provides. Have fun annoying your friends, also.

Summary: Not my kind of comedy, I guess
Review: When I was a kid, I was always badgering my parents to tell me about movie stars who were famous before I was born. One day I saw a W. C. Fields comedy called Never Give a Sucker an Even Break. I asked Mom and Dad about this funny looking man with the weird voice. My questions triggered an argument, because Mom thought Fields was one of the funniest men ever to light up the screen, while Dad felt he was obnoxious, crude and certainly not amusing. When I got older, I understood that humor is a very personal issue. Tell a joke to two different people, and it may be that one rolls on the floor laughing, while the other turns stoned-faced. Mike Myers as Austin Powers is a fine example. You either love the character, or you hate him. A few years ago, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was a fairly big hit. On video, it acquired cult status. Before Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me even opened last summer, it was assured of being a blockbuster. It did nearly four times the business the original did. Another sequel is inevitable. There are moments that are genuinely funny in the movie, but these are largely like burst of sunshine on a mostly cloudy day. Mike Myers plays three characters - Austin Powers, his nemesis Dr. Evil, and a grotesquely fat Scotsman called Fat Bastard. He is at his best as Dr. Evil, a mean man who is bent on taking over the world, apparently because it's the only thing he can do well. Evil made me laugh. The scene in which he tells his whiny, disrespectful son to shut up is almost a classic. I liked Evil's interactions with his clone, a three foot tall replica of himself called Mini-Me. As for Austin Powers himself, he is a skit character who wears thin in a whole movie. Powers is a parody of the 60s mod man. Fat Bastard is not at all funny, and it is this character who carries the bathroom humor so far that the movie itself often deserves to be flushed down the toilet. I have been known to laugh at gross-out jokes, but the ones built around this character are over the edge. Some are just plain mean-spirited. Heather Graham as Felicity Shagwell, the spy the movie's title refers to, is decidedly pleasing to look at. To quote another critic, the only thing flat about her is her acting. Michael York, Rob Lowe and Robert Wagner waste their time in their parts. The money was just too good to turn down, and they have been around too long to worry about their resumes. I haven't said much about the plot, because there's little to say. Dr. Evil goes back in time to steal Austin's "mojo". The rest of the movie involves his attempts to get said item back. At its best, this Austin Powers is a fond spoof of the spy genre, which has been around since Sean Connery was the first James Bond in 1964's Dr. No. At its worst, it wouldn't even bring a laugh in a locker room or a redneck bar.

Summary: Grooooooooovy, BABY!
Review: This is a wonderful and highly reccomended DVD. To heck with pan-and-scan cuz this is in WIDESCREEN and it's a no-error transfer (2.35:1). The 20+ deleted scenes are awesome! The music videos & featurettes add on tremendously! There's even a Dr. Evil hidden page (stay on the special features page for a minute or two and then Dr. Evil's logo will appear). There's finally a great audio commentary and four trailers. DVD-ROM content included as well. GET THIS DVD...NOW!

Summary: "Give me moment, hmm?"
Review: Great, hilarious sequel that's so silly, it's hard not to laugh. Only a grouch could resist Mike Myers as Austin Powers/Dr. Evil. His English accent comes in and out, but it's a marvel to see his ability to play so many characters in one film. Talk about multi-tasking! However, (and I know I'll provoke the wrath of many adolescents), Heather Graham is wrong, wrong, wrong for Felicity Shagwell. She poses and looks good in her outfits, but other than that, she comes off as rather bland. A real treat for all.

Summary: It's not just me, then...
Review: Although I enjoyed the first one somewhat, I wasn’t exactly gasping for air from endless fits of laughter from it. And even though ‘The Spy Who Shagged Me’ was in the same so-stupid-it’s-funny vein, and recycled quite a few gags from the first AP, I found it far funnier & more enjoyable. Once again Dr. Evil pretty much steals the show, partially thanks to his interactions with his midget clone, Mini-Me. Throw in a disgruntled Jabba-esque Scotsman who knows just the wrong things to say, and a few especially nasty gross-out moments (Austin drinking an ersatz cup o’ joe, and the infamous tent scene), and you have a little something for everybody! Well, everybody who likes silly and somewhat dumb yet entertaining genre parodies, anyway. The extra features include just about all of the things you’d expect in a special-collector’s-edition DVD release: There’s twenty minutes worth of deleted scenes, many of which I felt should’ve been put back into the movie. Some of them, though, were alternate versions of other scenes that probably wouldn’t’ve worked as well had they been restored. My personal fave: an alternate ending featuring an intimate moment between the old & young Numbers Two. It has to be seen to be believed! Also included: a documentary that goes behind-the-scenes and looks back on Austin’s influences, trailers, and of course a feature-length commentary track with star Mike Myers & director Jay Roach. They basically go over how each scene was set up, discuss certain concepts that were considered and/or filmed but were eventually dropped, comparisons to (and inspiration from) other movies in the spy/ladykiller genre, and include a few amusing anecdotes here and there. You know, just a basic, run-of-the-mill commentary track. Also thrown in are a few tie-in music videos, including Madonna’s ‘Beautiful Stranger’, and an utterly bizarre new rendition of ‘Word Up’ featuring former Spice Girl Mel B decked out as… some kinda space-station-looking thingy with two-foot-long chrome fingernails. Also featured in ‘Word Up’: a bit of movin’ & groovin’ by Mini-Me. But Lenny Kravitz’ rendition of ‘American Woman’ is the best cut, and had the most straightforward visuals of the three videos. Nothing too fancy here, save for the blinking lightup American flag backdrop. There’s even a few ‘hidden’ things (I think they’re referred to as ‘Easter Eggs’ in the DVD-phile lexicon) I haven’t yet figured out how to uncover. If someone out there reading this would be kind enough to drop me an e-mail explaining how to access these hidden gems, I’d really appreciate it! ‘Late

Summary: Lackluster Follow-up ... Except for Heather Graham!
Review: Heather Graham! Yeah, baby, yeah! AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME almost feels like a cinematic race Mike Myers is having with himself to find ways to become more and more offensive with the secondary characters he plays (i.e. Fat Bastard). While still presenting an effective send-up of the James Bond franchise, SPY strays into the unnecessary territory of gutter comedy with tasteless fart jokes and fat people jabs that lessen the value of what could have been a wonderful sequel. Mini Me ... now that was funny!
