Well, the moment I have been waiting for for 2 years has finally come. The USA theatrical release of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. What do I have to say about it?
Three words; funny, disgusting, and smashing!! In my opinion, it is the greatest film I've seen since The Matrix and just as funny as the first. The toilet humor is back, the disgusting sex humor is back, and the thing that made the first a hit, the great concealence of nudity, is back full force. Truly hesterical. The first five minutes you'll be rolling in the isles, literally. The last few minutes of the movie, and parts where Felicity and Austin work out their problems, is, in a sence, STUPID! As for Felicity herself, played by Heather Graham, is a horrible actor for this part. Elizabeth Hurley should have been back, and she only made a minor cameo in the first 5 minutes, which is a very funny part.
The silly and funny plot starts when Dr Evil is sent back to Earth from his Big Boy Rocket. He is greeted by his new headquarters, Starbucks, and the Seattle Space Needle. Number 2, again played by Robert Wagner, has scars on his face from the orginal movie ofwhen he got sent in the Fire Pit. Obviously, he escaped, only 'very badly burnt'. As Dr Evil travels back to 1969, 2 years after Austin was frozen, he has Fat Bastrad steel Austins mojo, rendering him powerless. There is also a young Number 2, played by Rob Lowe. Meanwhile, Austin travels back to 1969 and meets Felicity Shagwell (Shagwell by name, Shag very well by reputation). The rest is self explanitory, and I wouldn't want to ruin it for you guys. The entire film is packed with dick jokes, crap jokes, and boob jokes (sex humor, toilet humor, and everything else in between).
Some of the most disgusting and weird characters, Fat Bastard (ew), again played by Mike Myers, and Mini-Me, excellently played by the midget Verne Troyer, are the most hesterical characters in the entire film. Fat Bastard, a huge Scottish henchman, weighing a total metric ton, eats way to much and spits when he talks. He is the most disgusting character in movie history. He eats babies, the other, other white meat, and mistakes Mini-Me as a baby. "Look here, baldy. You take the mojo, take your money, and I take your baby!", And "God, I've had bigger chunks of corn in my crap!" (reacting to Mini-Me). Mini-Me, on the other hand, is the 1/8th size clone of Dr Evil. He does not speak, and stole the audience every time he was on screen.
All in all, it was a great movie. Definately worth the wait. And, remember, "Babies, the other, other white meat. Its whats for dinner!"
I give it

since Heather Graham was such a bad actor. Otherwise, I'd give it 5 out of 5.
