Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - 1999

Mike Myers, Heather Graham, Rob Lowe, Seth Green, Kristen Johnston

Groovy Baby, yeah!

That over with, I would just like to say that Austin Powers is probably the best parody series ever. It's just a good laugh all the way through. Predictacle, silly, sometimes gross, but a good laugh all the way through.

This time, Dr. Evil goes back to the sixties to steal frozen Austin's mojo. I was under the impression that only black people had mojo, but rotty toothed brits in the sixties have mojo too...See? It's educational! So Austin goes back to the sixties, to get his mojo back. There he meets up with Heather Graham, otherwise known as Felllatio...oops...Felicity Shagwell. But wait! Austin married that Hurley chick in the last movie, before the producers ever dreamt of a second film. Uh oh! We'll have to do some clever scripting here, folks. I know! Let's turn her into a fem bot! That's completely silly, totally out of script, but hell, we don't care! Austin is a money making machine! (Do I make the producers, horny, baby?)

So back in the sixties, we find out that Frau Farbissina is Scott's mother. That would make Scott Evil thirty instead of 19, but...um...rotty toothed brits can't do math, and neither can the slack-jawed american populus! Whee! We're crazy! We can do what we please, cause we are just that hot, and we've been staring at the sun! Groovy!

Since her nude debut in Boogie Nights, Heather Graham has proved to be the sure-shot 'it' girl of the late nineties. She's also given wildly obese scotsmen who eat children hope that someday they two will madly screw a lucious blond super agent. She's dead sexy, alright!

Also making a debut is Minime...the tiny clone of Dr. Evil whose only point in this movie is to draw nasty pictures of Scott and bite Austin in the mojo, shall we say. I believe his only words are 'you and I' and those are voiced-over. Great acting, minime. You can be in the next Spike Lee flim for sure! But make sure you've got respect for the black people. You can call it, Summer of Minime. Or how about Mini Summer? Harold the Black dog won't stop barking at you. Bite him in the nuts!

So in the middle of the movie, Mike and Heather go out camping with their filmmaker buddy, Josh. Only Dr. Evil Blair Witch gets to Josh and yanks out all his teeth. Stay in the tent, Heather! stay in the tent, Mike! If you happen to find a large abandoned house with 'Dr. Evil's lair' written on the door, I would advise staying in the tent, or becoming genital chow for Minime. If you're bored in the tent, you can always make little stick people out of sticks and moss and hanging them gaily around the woods. This part of the film is done completely in handi-cam mode which jumping up and down. Bring your gravol, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

My adivce: See this movie. It's another Mike Myers gem.
