Clint T. gave it an8:
There are great jokes aplenty in this, I reckon, funniest of the current Austin Powers trilogy (will there be a fourth?). This film falls into my list of Top 5 comedy films- a testament to it’s hilarity. I’ll give this hilarious and really very stylish film 8 out 10.
R. Dalvi gave it a7:
Entertaining and funny but has less laughs than its predecessor.
[Anonymous] gave it a7:
Like the first, a good laugh, but less satisfying in this installment.
Dave C. gave it a 6:
Lacking in the satire and wit of the original, this film is more flashy and MTV-esque, relies more on physical humour and to its credit, succeeds, it's very funny, if not as funny as the first film but it's Dr. Evil who gets all the best moments.
Andrew M. gave it an 8:
Not to everyone's taste, that's a fact. But I, personally, found this to be one heck of a funny film. I saw the first and was amused and entertained, but not sent into hysterics. Part II, on the other hand, came a lot closer to accomplishing this. The script was better, the plot was better, the directing was better, the gags were better, even the girl was better; Heather Graham is simply the bomb in this film! Whoo baby! A naughty, hedonistic film that is lot of fun, if you let yourself go.
Pat C. gave it a 2:
Annoying. Part 2.
Jeremy gave it an 8:
The difference between the amusing original and hillarious sequel is a bigger emphasis on Myers talents, and Heather Graham who is funny and sexy while Elizabeth Hurley was just sexy.
