Comedy-Austin Powers is a swinging 60's spy who is cryogenically frozen in case his foe, Dr. Evil, comes back. Sure enough, in 1997, he comes back, and Austin is unfrozen. Dr. Evil is stealing a nuclear warhead so he can get the U.N. to pay him $1,000,000, I mean, $100,000,000,000. Austin now is working with the daughter of his former partner, Mrs. Kensington. Her daughter, Vanessa, is beautiful and Austin is still in his 60's way. Now Austin must fight Dr. Evil while still being a "fish out of water".
8/10-An extremely funny movie which uses some fish out of water jokes, but still manages to find new jokes in there. All of the makeup Mike must have done to get Dr. Evil-wow! It parodies the Bond and Flint movies, which manages to crack up the audiences. The "nude" scene is priceless. I wish I could say more, but there's just not too much more to say.
Rated PG-13 for some language and innuendo.
