Review Date is July 29, 2002
Comedy-In the third installment of the swinging series, Austin's father Nigel is kidnapped by Dutch Goldmember. Austin must go back to 1975 to get his father back. When he's there, he meets Foxxy Cleopatra, someone he's met before, and they team up together. Once they get Nigel back, however, they find out that Goldmember has an asteroid thing in space and Dr. Evil's going to use a tracter beam to bring it to earth to melt the polar ice caps and cause global flooding. Sex jokes ensue.
8/10-A good finish to a popular series. There were a number of recycled jokes, but they were used in new ways. They might as well just have thrown away the paper-thin plot. At least in the first two they actually "talked" about the plot. The jokes, though recycled (the shadows, for instance), were extremley funny. Goldmember didn't do anything for me, though, and the ending was horrible. One more thing-what's with Frau's hair in the beginning?
Overall, there were three things that bugged me that I haven't talked about:
- Heather Graham as Felicity Shagwell didn't come back.
- They didn't find a way for Mustafa (Will Ferrel) to come back.
- No more covered-up nudity.
Rated PG-13 for non-stop crude humor.
