We may not need as many Austin Powers movies as there are James Bond pictures, but one or two more might be nice. Go to Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader 04/01/2008
Jay Roach directed with just the right amount of period tackiness. Go to Full Review Rita Kempley Washington Post 04/01/2008
The originals were spoofs in their own way, too, unless you really believe that secret agents look more like Sean Connery than Aldrich Ames. Go to Full Review Adrian Martin Film Critic: Adrian Martin Jul 30

One of the biggest problems with Austin Powers is the rather tired sense of déjà vu it induces. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 12/01/2022

...an inherently-compelling premise that’s employed to continually engaging and hilarious effect by Roach... Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 10/09/2022
Mike Meyers’ parody of classic James Bond movies and various 1960s copycats like Matt Helm and Derek Flint careens from gag to gag with such pop art color and energy that you don’t really mind that it misses the target so often. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ben W @Username618 Mar 22 Bit too much Mike Myers. Hurley is so much better in Bedazzled. See more Steven F. @SteveGotScored Feb 21 Absolutely hysterical and fantastic! See more Joe H. @NativeCurator Feb 8 I still don’t understand why this movie did not win an Oscar See more Craig W. @CJWolfe27 Dec 18 Watched it again for the first time in over 10 years and it’s still hilarious See more Torin F @nonlinearize Dec 6 AUSTIN POWERS 1 is an indisputable comedy classic, and its many giddy, goofy charms still totally hold up today, bolstered in no small part by the incomparable Elizabeth Hurley. Shagadelic! See more Jace E @thefilmguy Nov 11 Jumping from the James Bond franchise to Austin Powers was the perfect way to approach these films. The opening dance is iconic, the 007 jokes are witty (Random Task) and Mike Myers is hilarious in each of his roles. Pure, dumb, comedy. Some of the jokes were a bit raunchy for my taste, but I liked more than I didn't like. Best Character: Dr. Evil Best Quote: "You know, I have one simple request, and that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now, evidently, my cycloptic colleague informs me that that can't be done. Uh, can you remind me what I pay you people for? Honestly, throw me a bone here!" - Dr. Evil Best Scene: Mustafa in the Fire Best Piece of Score: "The Shag-adelic" Austin Powers Score Medley See more Read all reviews
