Amazon.co.uk Review
"I put the grrr in swinger, baby!" a deliciously randy Austin Powers coos near the beginning of The Spy Who Shagged Me and if the imagination of Austin creator Mike Myers seems to have sagged a bit, his energy surely hasn't. This friendly, go-for-broke sequel to 1997's Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery finds our man Austin heading back to the 1960s to keep perennial nemesis Dr. Evil (Myers again) from blowing up the world--and, more importantly, to get back his mojo, that man-juice that turns Austin into irresistible catnip for women, especially American spygirl Felicity Shagwell (a pretty but vacant Heather Graham). The plot may be irreverent and illogical, the jokes may be bad (with characters named Ivana Humpalot and Robin Swallows, née Spitz), and the scenes may run on too long, but it's all delivered sunnily and with tongue firmly in cheek.

Myers's true triumph, though, is his turn as the neurotic Dr Evil, who tends to spout the right cultural reference at exactly the wrong time (referring to his moon base as a "Death Star" with Moon Units Alpha and Zappa--in 1969). Myers teams Dr Evil with a diminutive clone, Mini-Me (Verne J Troyer), who soon replaces slacker son Scott Evil (Seth Green) as the apple of the doctor's eye; Myers and Troyer work magic in what could plausibly be one of the year's most affecting (and hysterically funny) love stories. Despite a stellar supporting cast--including a sly Rob Lowe as Robert Wagner's younger self and Mindy Sterling as the forbidding Frau Farbissina--it's basically Myers's show, and he pulls a hat trick by playing a third character, the obese and disgusting Scottish assassin Fat Bastard. Many viewers will reel in disgust at Mr Bastard's repulsive antics and the scatological jokes Myers indulges in, including one showstopper involving coffee and--shudder--a stool sample. Still, Myers's good humour and dead-on cultural references win the day; Austin is one spy who proves he can still shag like a minx. --Mark Englehart

5.0 out of 5 stars Grr... Very Grrrrrr Baby!, 4 Sep 2004
In A Nutshell:

Dr Evil travels back in time and steels Austin Powers' "mojo." This leads to a series of events which lead Powers to travel also back in time and try and regain his "mojo" before time runs out. Meanwhile, Dr. Evil is planning to destroy a city every hour of every day from a giant "laser" on the moon, unless he is paid something like a million billion dollars by the US government.

What's Right With It?

The witty and entertaining quotes of Powers never fail to make you laugh, no matter how many times you watch it. The hilarious prose in the movie, with the exceedinly action-loadsmorecomedy atmosphere and storyline make Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me one of the best comedy films of modern day cinema.

What's Wrong With It?

Some of the more, let's say, vulgar scenes (e.g. Fat Bast*rds backside, or Austin Powers drinking Fat Bast*rds faesces) make you press the fast forward button a bit, leading to missing quotes. If you can handle this kind of comedy then you certainly shouldn't find much more wrong with it. However, some of the comedy moments certainly could be expanded to give the film its complete full potential.

Verdict:

No matter about the negatives, it's always the positives that count. It's still brilliant. Myers will never fail to be his best Powers, and nobody can beat that can they? It's funny, it's got a decent storyline, and it's got a groooovy English agent (of course, being Austin Powers) in it aswell! How much better can it get!?

4.0 out of 5 stars **** Dr Evil and Mini Me Steal The Show ****, 16 Oct 2002
By Mr. N. Carnegie (Kirkcaldy, Scotland, UK.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The great thing about this movie and owning it on DVD is that you don't need to watch the whole movie all the time, you can just pick and choose all your favourite funniest scenes and replay them, whenever you want to cheer yourself up. The movie is really only a collection of comic set-pieces anyway, some better than others but all of a pretty high standard, such as the silhouette scene of Austin Powers and Filicity Shagwell (Heather Graham) unpacking their bags in the tent. However, the best scenes are undoubtedly the ones featuring Myers as Dr Evil and Mini Me, the cut down clone of Dr Evil (brilliantly played Verne J.Troyer), such as the "Just The Two Of Us" parody. I'm Scottish and I have to say that Myers does a great west coast Scottish accent and so also very funny in a disgusting sort of way is Myers other creation Fat Bastard, a Scottish assassin who makes love to Filicity Shagwell in one of the scenes that will make you laugh and cringe in equal measures. Fortunately we don't witness the sexual act itself I may add.

This is a superior follow up to Austin Powers. Bigger budget, better script, more laughs. I wasn't an enormous fan of the first film, I did like it, it had it's moments but I wanted to like it more. I think Mike Myers is the funniest man around at the moment and this movie made me laugh more than any other film since There's Something About Mary. So if you've never seen The Spy Who Shagged Me but have seen Theres Something About Mary, then you'll get the idea of the intellectual level this is pitched at. Don't get me wrong, I'd consider myself to be intelligent but the humour in this movie is often physical but wonderfully infantile, which totally appeals to my childish sense of humour. If you are looking for intellectual comedy you wont find it here. If you don't like toilet humour, you'll hate this movie but for what it's worth I, like millions of others love this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate Austin Powers experience, 14 Jun 2003
By Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
While most sequels struggle to recapture the magic of the original film, Austin Powers: The Shy Who Shagged Me takes the Mike Myers comedy vehicle to a whole new, hilarious level. This really is the ultimate Austin Powers movie. A lot of the material is simply a rehash of what we have seen before, yet it somehow plays better the second time around. This is demonstrated most forcibly in the opening dance number where Austin struts his suddenly-single stuff. The idea to stage Dr. Evil’s reappearance on the set of the Jerry Springer Show is brilliant. Dr. Evil in fact really steals the show throughout this entire movie, even before he manages to get his hands on Austin’s mojo; Austin is a great character who guarantees a wild, catchphrase-intensive ride, but Dr. Evil is the star here. I have to say that I was initially disappointed to see Elizabeth Hurley’s character fall by the wayside, but I quickly got over my troubles at the first sight of Heather Graham’s character dancing at the swinging 60s club Austin arrives at after traveling back in time. Felicity Shagwell is a great character who makes both Austin Powers the character and Austin Powers the movie much more entertaining and delightful, and this character was done a great disservice by being dropped without a single word of explanation in the third Austin Powers film.

Most people are already familiar with the plot. Dr. Evil returns, travels back in time to get the funny but disgusting Fat Bastard (played by Mike Myers) to steal Austin’s mojo from his cryogenically frozen body; with this new advantage, Dr. Evil really comes into his hilariously evil own, making plans to blow up Washington, D.C. and other major cities with a laser he has placed on the moon. The allusions to the Star Wars movies are as obvious as they are twistedly fun, culminating in Dr. Evil’s Darth Vader impersonation when Austin confronts him. By far the greatest addition to the cast is Verne Troyer as Dr. Evil’s little clone Mini-Me. His aping of Dr. Evil’s quotation mark-noted lines increases the comedy fourfold, and his fight scene with Austin is yet another high point of the film. My favorite scene, though, has to be Dr. Evil’s and Mini-Me’s “Just the Two of Us” song and dance number. Basically, though, all of the characters were in top form in this film: Rob Lowe is the perfect younger version of #2, Mindy Sterling is always amazing as Frau Farbissina, and Seth Greene’s portrayal of Scott Evil makes him the perfect setup man for some of Dr. Evil’s best moments.

Featuring the best, most consistent storyline, showcasing the best performances of all involved, and parodying a number of well-known movies from the past while making fun of itself, this is easily the best of the three Austin Powers movies. Action, adventure, comedy, you name it, this movie has it in spades. This is Austin Powers at his randiest, most clumsily charming, hilarious best, baby, and it goes down in my book as one of the funniest movies ever made, one which, I might add, never goes stale no matter how many times you watch it.
