This time... In his second screen adventure, groovy superspy Austin Powers (Mike Myers) returns to 1969, where one after another hilarious gag is worked into a silly, stumbling, knee-slapping plot. This time around, Austin Powers' arch-nemesis Dr. Evil (also Myers) is joined by a midget-sized clone of himself, Mini-Me (Verne Troyer). Having successfully stolen Austin's "mojo" (his libido), Dr. Evil can concentrate on his ultimate mission of destroying the world. Meanwhile, Austin, with the help of gorgeous agent Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham), must now not only contend with Dr. Evil, but also the small but vicious Mini-Me. Also in this installment, Evil's son, Scott (Seth Green), finds out who his mother is, and Mike Myers stars as a third character--rotund and truly disgusting Scotsman Fat Bastard. More raucous fun in the spirit of its 1997 smash predecessor, AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME once again thrills audiences with its inexhaustible humor. [More]

The script is not up to the acting ability of Mike Myers.

Despite an oversupply of bathroom jokes and scattered scenes that play like outtakes, this is still a crafty, intermittently hilarious comedy.

An action-packed and energetic ode to the 60s, and every spy movie ever made.

If anyone can give Star Wars a run for its money this summer, it's the horny hero of this very funny comedy.

Much of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me feels recycled, but audiences who dote on multiple viewings aren't likely to complain.

To the short list of movie sequels better than the originals, we can add another name: Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me!

A large portion of the audience fall-down, roll across the rug, honk till they hurt hilarious.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is the type of fall-out-of- your-seat-laughing comedy that only comes around on the rarest of occasions.
