"If you've got a time
machine, why don't you just go back in time
and kill Austin
Powers when he's on the crapper or something?" –
Scott Evil
Why watch this? AP2
is more of the same, and by "more" I mean, bloody wonderful more!
Plot Summary:
Once again Austin Powers must square off against his nemesis,
Dr. Evil. Only this time, His Baldness has been, that's right,
cloned, in the form of the 2 ft. 6 in. Mini-Me - a little person
with a big temper. Austin Powers has mysteriously lost his "mojo",
so he
travels back to 1969 and enlists blonde-bombshell CIA Agent
Felicity Shagwell. Together they take on Dr. Evil and his most
notorious henchman, the nasty Fat Bastard!

Dad's Preview:
If you liked
Austin Powers:
International Man of Mystery (1997), this
raunchy, hilarious sequel will keep the adventure going. This is Mike Myers at the peak of his
creative mastery. Part of why these films are so funny
is that Powers is allowed to be sexist, and he gets a pass because
he literally is from a time when that was somewhat
permitted. He gets most of the laughs at his own
expense, being either AP or his evil counterpart, Dr.
Evil... and I can laugh at that all day long. |
