I know, I know, by now the majority of you out there are scared stiff of big time floppy sequels that suck! Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me is different, honestly!
If you loved the first one then this is truely unmissable, I watched it a few nights ago for the 100th time and while it's fresh in my mind I have to praise it!
The basic plot here is that Dr Evil has travelled back to the swinging sixties and stolen Austins' mojo, the essence of Austins' 'shagadelic' nature! So our hero journeys back to the place he came from to hunt him down, meeting up with a sexy secret agent(played by Heather Graham) who assists in this groovy adventure.
To top it all off, Dr Evil is still trying to take over the world, asking stupid amounts of money or he'll blow the place up! He also has a new addition to the Evil society in the form of Mini Me! A tiny clone of Dr Evil with a nasty bite!
Mike Myres, as if playing two characters in the first movie wasn't hard enough, ventures into a third role here. That of Fat Bastard! A 2 tonne Scotsman who seems to have a taste for babies! He is indeed the master when it comes to these different characters and portraying their various attributes.
But is it as funny as the first Austin Powers you say? Can it deliver the same humour without being too much of the same? The answer is yes! The lines are fresh and some scenes will have you in tears. Look out for the fight between Austin and Mini Me - "poor little bugger"! I couldn't stop laughing, it was one of those moments where you'll either bust a rib or suddenly need to go to the bathroom!
The Spy Who shagged me is a credit to the script writers and actors who all made the effort to keep the Austin Powers spirit alive yet deliver it in a new way to keep the audience entertained. I really don't think this movie got the publicity or credit it deserved, being shadowed by other big budget movies at the time. I recommend you watch it, and if you consider buying it, well this ones a keeper you'll be reaching for time and time again!

I loved it as well although I don't know which of the two I like better. Cheers for the interesting read, I can't believe that so many people don't rate this film. Nathan

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
