3/06: So I Married an Axe Murderer is a horrible comedy that lacks intelligence.

A creepy guy in his own right, Mike Myers falls flat when it comes to punchlines. By the way, what does his character do for a living? Anthony LaPaglia plays a cop who wants to be the next Dirty Harry? Well, okay...good luck with the lawsuits.

The newly married wife is related to a sister who killed three husbands of hers on the night of wedding and goes for fourth? Uh, right...like she'll get away with it despite the sheer coincidence. Oddly, she's introduced at the beginning and then disappears for a long time before showing up to reveal the plot twist.

At least, I love one shot. It's when an axe was thrown until just below Mike Myers' face. Only if it could be a bit higher, and the awful Austin Powers franchise would never exist.

All in all, Mike Myers is a strange guy, and I never saw any appeal in him.
