simple request, and that is to have sharks
with frickin' laser
beams attached to their heads!" –
Dr. Evil
Why watch this? All
great comedy bits need an introduction. This one blows the lid
off.
Plot Summary: A hip
British secret agent from the 1960s is cryogenically frozen and
thawed out in the 1990s to combat his arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil,
who has also been frozen and resurrected. Austin must adapt to
the vastly different world of the 90s while trying to stop Dr.
Evil's latest plan for global domination.

Dad's Preview:
As silly as it is absurd, this film is a deep dive into the mind
of the talented Mike Myers. I remember thinking "what a dumb
concept". Boy, was I wrong. You can't help but fall in love with
this James Bond spy spoof. Myers' comedic genius shines through
as he portrays the out-dated British Secret Agent, and also his
greatest foe, the chrome-domed mastermind Dr. Evil. Elizabeth
Hurley also shines as his sexy assistant. If you don't find this humor funny, I can't
help you.
