Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: 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... 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 sequel is funnier than the original because it has more silliness, more smut and more 'yeah, babies.'

Myers and Michael McCullers’ script just doesn’t have it in terms of fresh narrative developments or individual gags.

If you don't care for one gag, there'll be another one in a minute, just like a London double decker.

Absent are the freshness and spontaneity that characterized the original.

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

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

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

Too much of the new Powers looks like bad TV and sounds like old burlesque!

Shagged serves up at least 25 guffaws and a lot more mojo than most comedies!

There is just enough joy in The Spy Who Shagged Me to make you wish there had been more of it.

What defeats Austin and Dr. Evil in the new movie is what brought them down the last time: Myers' inability to know what jokes need to be taken further, and what jokes should be cut short.
