If I thought Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was gross, the sequel is even more so.
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Gagged Me presents an endless series of penis, fart, and body jokes. Nothing has been
humorous, and the movie seems to be meant for man-children with the behavior of a five-year-old kid.
Three ugliest characters in the history of motion pictures appear: Austin Powers, Mini-Me, and *drum roll* Fat Bastard.
Putting up with Mike Myers' tobacco-stained teeth has been too much for me to bear, but his decision to add
the other two into the mix is now going overboard.
How Mini-Me is treated and caricatured sets the little people community back by decades. Because of this film, there are
people associating them with Mini-Me and treating them as portable objects by picking up and throwing them around.
That being said, I hope Verne Troyer is proud of himself.
A big concept is time travel à la Back to the Future. I only have one question: why
not go back to when Dr. Evil was in the womb and simply abort him? Speaking of 1969, Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello, and Burt
Bacharach were old-looking during the 60's? If Austin Powers has lost his mojo, shouldn't he be tired and thus in dire need
of constant naps?
All in all, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Killed Me is god-awful.
