I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
An absolute waste of money
A Masterpiece!
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Contrary to some reviews, this is funnier than the first, some jokes where typical of the first but worked better in this sequel. The addition of Minnie-me was so creative as was the performance of Seth Green as Scott, as a silly comedy, it is what it is silly and entertaining, it just does not get old.
---is Heather Graham.Although the edition of Mini Me comes a pretty close second. Seriously though this is pure camp and was just as good as the first one. I loved the misplaced references to pop culture including the Alan Parsons Project and Moon Units Alpha and Zappa. Some of the one liners from the movie have become ingrained in pop culture even today: "Magma", "Mini Me", "One trillion dollars" (with the hooked thumb). It is a fun movie but they could have done without recycling some of the older jokes and inserted some new stuff.
The original Austin Powers film kind of took a lot of people by surprise by its success. Therefore, a sequel proved too hard for studio bosses to resist. The first film lovingly lampooned the early James Bond films perfectly, always poking fun while never being cruel. Some may think that it would be hard to stretch this concept out into two movies. I myself was cynical, but I'm glad to say that I was wrong.'Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me' is - amazingly - even funnier than the first film. It's even more daft, even more crude and just simply great fun to watch. You have to have a kind of silly sense of humour to really appreciate it, but I'm glad to say that, judging by the fact that it took lots more at the box office that its predecessor, I'm not the only one to think so.Its success is majorly down to the cast. There's never a bad performance and nearly every smutty joke is timed to perfection. Special credit to its writer/star Mike Myers who introduces yet another disgustingly wonderful character to his repartee - 'Fat B*****d' who, dare I sat the voice was a precursor to a famous green ogre he was later to voice.Dr Evil is again back to stop his ultra trendy nemesis Austin Powers from thwarting him by... well, who cares? The film-makers certainly don't let story get in the way of giving you a fun time. Ignore the plot holes in this film - the film itself even pokes fun at how not everything actually makes sense and just enjoy the ride (again).
This sequel is absolutely no more than a tenth as amusing as the original. The lighthearted charm of spoofing the early Bond movies is not nearly as evident here. Instead, it is full of disgusting body 'humor', made up of showing and implying the ugliness of obesity and all matters concerning what goes in or may come out of the anus. Short visuals that might generate a laugh are on screen way too long. Even the 'mini-Me', a cute concept, just becomes a dreary, hyperactive ass joke at one point. All of which makes me wonder, who is the audience for this? The humor is slanted toward maybe 12 yr old boys, who would be way too young to care about the concept of a Bond James spoof in the first place. And imho, it's way too filthy and sexually oriented for them.
