Synopsis: He's back, baby! It's been three years since Austin Powers, that swinging international man of mystery, has faced his arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil. But after Dr. Evil and his accomplice Mini Me... He's back, baby!

It's been three years since Austin Powers, that swinging international man of mystery, has faced his arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil. But after Dr. Evil and his accomplice Mini Me escape from a maximum-security prison, Austin is called to action once more in this third installment of the highly successful "Austin Powers" movie franchise. Teaming up with the mysterious Goldmember, Dr. Evil hatches a time-traveling scheme to take over the world, one that involves the kidnapping of Nigel Powers, Austin's beloved father and England's most renowned spy. As he chases the villains through time, Austin visits 1975 and joins forces with his old flame, Foxxy Cleopatra, a streetwise and stylish detective. Together Austin and Foxxy must find a way to save Nigel and stop Dr. Evil and Goldmember from their mischievous mayhem.

Mike Myers once again takes on multiple roles, portraying Austin Powers, Dr. Evil and Fat Bastard, as well as his newest character, Goldmember. Joining the cast are Sir Michael Caine as Nigel Powers, singing sensation Beyoncé Knowles (of the multi-platinum group Destiny's Child) as Foxxy Cleopatra and Fred Savage (from the hit television show "The Wonder Years") as Number Three a.k.a., The Mole. Returning are series veterans Michael York (Basil Exposition), Robert Wagner (Number Two), Seth Green (Scott Evil), Mindy Sterling (Frau Farbissina) and Verne J. Troyer (Mini Me). The film also introduces newcomers Aaron Himelstein and Josh Zuckerman.

New Line Cinema presents Austin Powers in Goldmember, directed by Jay Roach and written by Mike Myers and Michael McCullers. The film is produced by Mike Myers and John Lyons, along with producers Suzanne Todd, Jennifer Todd, Demi Moore and Eric McLeod. The co-producer is Gregg Taylor. The executive producers are Toby Emmerich and Richard Brener.

Joining the production team are director of photography Peter Deming, production designer Rusty Smith, costume designer Deena Appel, editors Jon Poll and Greg Hayden, music supervisor John Houlihan, stunt coordinator Jack Gill and choreographer Marguerite Derricks.

The Austin Powers in Goldmember soundtrack will be released by Maverick Records in partnership with Warner Bros. Records on July 16th, 2002. The album will include the single "Work It Out," written and performed by Beyoncé Knowles. Also on the soundtrack is Knowles' version of the film's theme song "Hey, Goldmember," produced by Knowles and Damon Elliott, as well as two songs written by Mike Myers for his group Ming Tea, whose members include Susanna Hoffs, Matthew Sweet, Stuart Johnson and Chris Ward. Britney Spears not only makes a cameo appearance in the film, a remix of her hit "Boys," featuring Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D., is included on the soundtrack. Other renowned artists also performing on the soundtrack: The Rolling Stones, Smash Mouth, Soul Hooligan featuring Diana King, Angie Stone, Earth, Wind and Fire and Paul Oakenfold.

Austin Powers in Goldmember (rated PG-13 by the M.P.A.A. for "sexual innuendo, crude humor, and language") will be released in theaters nationwide on July 26th, 2002.

Most of it is rehash, and smug rehash at that.

Myers and Roach are running dangerously close to empty as far as new and genuinely funny ideas, and they would be best off quitting before they fall any farther behind.

The first five minutes of this film rate as perhaps the best film opening ever... they’re worth the price of admission alone, and so we need say no more.

Perhaps not as original as the first two movies, Goldmember is still fun and funny.

...[the film is] dominated by jokes that aren't terribly funny and abandons the more absurd nature of the first film's comedy.

Easily as effective as its two previous installments, once again utilizing the finest in pee/fart/poop/sex jokes, naughty juxtaposition of everyday objects, and Bond-spoof genius that only Meyers and Roach can deliver.

If this series has any more life left in it, Myers and Roach have to do a major rethink.
