Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me REVIEW


"I am back baby!" Here is the "Motion Picture Buff's" second review of the "Austin Powers" series, "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me." In this film Dr. Evil has made another legendary return, but this time he has a "Mini Me" as an accomplice. Dr. Evil's new plan is to steal Austin Powers mojo, which drives him and makes his "shaggless."

So negatives to start off again. Well I think again the only thing to say here is that the film has complete and utterly stupid humor.

Other than that though this film is just again hilarious. Austin Powers gets us again with a comedy that we will all enjoy. Their is dumb comedy and then their is "Austin Powers." Mike Myers and Micheal McCullers wrote the screenplay for this film and the story is just as funny and just as engaging. Like the first Austin Powers film, you are laughing from beginning to end. The jokes are relatable and funny. The dialogue between the characters makes you laugh, and most of all the action is just hilarious. Good job at creating yet another hilarious movie. Mike Myers of course returns as Austin Powers and Dr. Evil, but their is a new character introduced in this film, Fat Bastard. He impresses you with all the characters he does become, because sometimes it is hard to tell that he plays all three of them. Heather Graham is the next Power's girl, and she really is a great Power's girl. I found her funny and the chemistry between her and Mike was really good. Robert Wagner, Seth Green, Verne Troyer, Rob Lowe, and more are in this film. They all help create a funny cast that have amazing chemistry together to make a great comedic film. Verne is great as Mini Me. Jay Roach returns yet again as director for the "Austin Powers" film, and he does just as great as before. This is a comedy you won't soon forget.

So all-in-all a great comedy that again goes down as one of my favorite comedies. For the ratings I will give it again a DVD buy worthy rating. It gets the popcorn rating again, along with family night flick as long as kids are at least older than 12. It will get a must-see rating again. As for the rating because of the stupid humor I will have to "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" a 3.5/5 rating.

Well thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this review. Make sure you "like" the "Motion Picture Buff" on Facebook HERE! It really helps me out, along with spreading the word about the reviews. Thanks again and stay tuned for more . . . coming REALLY soon.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery REVIEW


Here comes the "Motion Picture Buff's" first review in the "Austin Powers" series, "Austin Powers International Man of Mystery." In this film a 1960's hippie super spy is frozen to be there when Dr. Evil returns. When Dr. Evil returns Austin Powers is awoken and he must adjust to the new lifestyle, try and defeat Dr. Evil, along with getting the girl.

Well negatives shall we start with? Well yes this movie is hilarious but its that stupid kind of funny. I mean more on this later, but the only negative is that it is just the dumb funny.

In this film though the dumb funny works too. So the positives right? Yes the dumb funny can be annoying but in all reality the dumb funny is also HILARIOUS. In this film it just works. I like how they make fun of what movies always do too. Just helps add to the humor. Mike Myers wrote this film and I have to say that he does a good job at making all of us laugh. He jokes you get, they are humorous, and they will have you laughing all the way till the end. It has pointless humor, but Mike does it in a good way. Mike Myers also stars as Austin Powers and Dr. Evil. I believe that helps with the humor, and he plays both roles perfectly as well. Elizabeth Hurley, Seth Green, Robert Wagner, and others are in this movie. Everyone helps make the film even more funny. I just loved it. Whenever I am in a bad mood, these films always cheer me up. Jay Roach is director of this film and he has a way with this film that just helps add to the humor. The score and theme of Austin Powers is phenomenal and if you have seen this film you will remember it forever. Just has that crazy Austin groove to it. I want to say props to the costume and make-up department too because you really are put into the 1960's at point and they did it so well.

So all-in-all a freaking hilarious film that will keep you laughing. I will give it a DVD buy worthy rating. No need to go get it on Blu-ray. I will give it the popcorn flick rating along with family night film, just make sure your kids are at least 12 years or older. It is a classic to me because I grew up with these movies so yes a must-see film rating "Austin Powers" is going to get. As for the rating I can only give "Austin Powers International Man of Mystery" a 3.5/5 rating. This does not stop it from being one of the funniest comedies out there.

Thanks for tuning in for the review. I hope you have enjoyed it. Sorry about lack of reviews, I have been busy moving. I got some time today so I thought I would do some. So stay tuned for more . . . coming REALLY soon.
