Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
Synopsis
I'm back, baby!
When diabolical genius Dr. Evil travels back in time to steal superspy Austin Powers's "mojo," Austin must return to the swingin' '60s himself -- with the help of American agent Felicity Shagwell -- to stop the dastardly plan. Once there, Austin faces off against Dr. Evil's army of minions and saves the world in his own unbelievably groovy way.

Not quite as good as the original, but there's plenty to laugh at here. The addition of Fat Bastard is the only thing I have a real problem with. Where the original is actually clever in its parody, the Spy who Shagged me turns to cheap gross-out humor at parts.
Side note: Heather Graham has never looked better

I was tempted to just copy and paste my comments on the original Powers film, because this sequel is just about exactly as good as its predecessor. I really liked both of them equally.
There are things that the original does better than this one, but then I also think that Dr. Evil gets even funnier here because he brings pop culture references from the future back with him, making him into a true believer that he is the sly-est person in the room at any given moment.
Once again, I am an unabashed fan of the first two films in this franchise.

Not as good as international man of mystery, but this is still pretty damn funny, continuing the sort of humour we're familiar with from the first one.

Everybody is sitting in Dr. Evil's volcanic lair about 100 feet above lava. It's hot as balls in there and no one is sweating? Absolutely ridiculous.

This film makes me horny baby! Def one of the best sequels made. Very quotable and still a joy to watch. It is all about Dr Evil rather than Austin Powers in my view

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

This movie keeps getting better. When I first watched this film I was very young and missed out on a bunch of jokes. Plus when I watched this movie again my friends and I were very drunk making it that much better.

the best one.

The Spy Who Shagged Me is unapologetically lazy in how it copies and pastes the structure and gags from the previous film. However, the few sparks of creativity pay off immensely, namely the addition of Minime and an impossibly delightful Rob Lowe impersonating Robert Wagner. Fat Bastard is surely the reason this got an Oscar nod for Best Makeup, but the work on Powers, Dr. Evil and period hairstyling make it a deserved nomination all around.

As enjoyable over a decade later.

Rest assured, this might be a three-star review but if this was Rotten Tomatoes it'd be a "fresh" three-star rather than a "rotten" three-star. I don't really know why I find the Austin Powers movies so funny when there's so many other films of the same ilk that I'm not really that fond of. The laugh rate of these films is just so high that I can't help but embrace the silliness of the movies and love them for what they are.
Although saying that, I did have some unfortunate problems with this movie, and they're actually from the fact that for some portions of the film The Spy Who Shagged Me sort of feels like it's trying to be…
