This film is so funny and has Myers playing three parts! I found myself laughing throughout the film, it just transports you to another world (a psychedelic, shagedelic one!).
The film begins with Austin and Vanessa, (Liz Hurley) on honeymoon. Austin discovers that his wife is a Fembot. Basically he has to knock his wife's head off, he quickly recovers from this 'little upset'.
Austin Powers, (in case you don't know) is a secret agent and obsessed with sex. His Mojo, makes him attractive to any female, which is lucky as he isn't exactly goodlooking. Favourite catchphrases include- 'yeah baby' and 'do you think I’m horny baby, do you?'.
Enter new side kick 'Felicity Shagwell'. She's just for the male audience, she's not really a great actress or comedienne.
In this film Dr Evils plan is to steal Austin’s Mojo, which has the key to his powers by going back to 1969 when Austin was Cryogenically frozen. Austin is impotent without his Mojo and can't stop DR Evil. The rest of the film is about Austin trying to solve this, I won't give away the rest of the plot (there's not much to give away!). There's a great soundtrack which goes with the film perfectly (notably Madonna's 'Beautiful Stranger').
Dr Evil, (also played by Myers)is Austin’s enemy. He has a bigger role in this film. Hilarious parts of the film include Dr Evil trying to get his son Scott to be more evil. Scott Evil is Dr Evil’s son, known for pointing out the stupidness of his fathers plans. He also has a hand in stopping Dr Evil in his tracks. Dr Evil says of his son:
'You're the Diet Coke of evil, just one calorie, not evil enough.'
There is a lot of funny moments when they appear on The Jerry Springer show. Scott and Dr Evil together make one another even more ridiculous and funny.
Mini-me is another character who makes you laugh in this film. He is a copy of Dr Evil, only in miniature form, hence the name. Bit mean and has a penchant for biting.
Fat Bastard (again played by Myers) is also in the film. F.B is really disgusting and on the really really tasteless end of the scale. He is really exactly what his name says.
A great film to watch again on video, it's a very successful sequel!

Advantages: Supremely funny throughout. Myers is great as three of the top characters. Good sound track. Probably improves upon the original which is noval for a sequel. Disadvantages: maybe just a tad too similiar to the original
