Austin Powers (Mike Myers) returns with his sexy sidekick Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham) who Austin may actually get somewhere with in "The Spy Who Shagged Me."
Rating: 3/4 stars.
Mike Myers has had some good movies and some bad. This is one of the main good things I have seen from him. The first Austin Powers movie, remains one of my favorite 90s Comedies. This one was quickly added to the list as well. Though I'm getting a little tired of hearing "Shag me" or "Ya wanna shag?" in pop culture.
This one picks up, almost directly were "International Man of Mystery" left off. We find out Powers' last sidekick, Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley) was a fembot of Dr. Evil's after malfunctioning right in front of him. Now, Austin is single, and looking for a new sidekick.
His life has turned, he is a photographer, and is hoping to get his life back on track after his encounter with Dr. Evil.
Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) and Mini-Me (Verne Troyer) go back to 1969 were they meet Number Two (Rob Lowe), Frau Farbissina (Mindy Sterling), and an uncanning fat guy, named who else but Fat Bastard (Mike Myers).
Austin arrives back at a party in his London with his new sidekick, Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham) where he learns they both have to go to back to 1969 to foil Evil and Mini-Me's plan of launching a lazer to the moon. Also to get Powers' "Mojo" back from Evil as well.
I have to love Seth Green's corny one-liners in the film. They keep going as he complains Evil (his father) doesn't love him. A very funny character, who in my opinions needs to have more scenes like his father. A funny, yet quite crude 90s Comedy, "The Spy Who Shagged Me" delivers, as well as the first.
Starring: Mike Myers, Heather Graham, Verne Troyer, Rob Lowe, Mindy Sterling, and Seth Green. Cameos by Willie Nelson, David Koechner, and Willie Nelson. Directed by: Jay Roach.
