     Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
1999  PG-13  COMEDY  1h 36min
CAST— Mike Myers, Heather Graham, Michael York, Robert Wagner, Seth Green, Elizabeth Hurley
MUSIC— George S. Clinton  DIRECTOR— Jay Roach

     The original International Man of Mystery returns in this uninspired (yet often hilarious) sequel. Dr. Evil and co. (including his very own miniature clone, dubbed Mini-Me) are undertaking a daring and dastardly mission, leaping from 1999 to 1969 where the nefarious and aptly-named villain Fat Bastard has stolen Austin’s mojo, the very stuff that makes him such a swinger. Austin now travels back to ’69 in an attempt to recover his essence and maybe stop Dr. Evil from wreaking havoc with a deadly “laser”. Joining forces with sultry American agent Felicity Shagwell, Austin delivers the quips and dispatches the baddies in oh-so-shagadelic fashion. Plenty of innuendo, scatological humor and just plain crudity are the norm in this series and this installment delivers the goods. No classic by any standards but who expected that?
OUR RATING— ** ½
