Chicago ReaderHank Sartin
With the jokes coming about one per second, you're bound to find something to laugh at. I found myself laughing a lot--even as I began to feel the whole thing wearing thin. Read full review

VarietyTodd McCarthy
A picture that, even more than the previous two, feels like a bunch of gags tossed together. The laughs are here, to be sure, although even some of the best of them are retreads and the Swinging '60s recycling act is now feeling a bit past its zeitgeist prime. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter Travers
The gifted Myers lets his once and (I hope) future shag king get lost in an elephantine Hollywood franchise. The first time was the charm, baby. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyMark Olsen
The laugh always comes first, and Myers' puppy-dog tenacity to that cast-iron tenet of low comedy, disarming and even somewhat charming in the first film, now has an air of careerist desperation about it. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
A step or two down from the first and second, but it has some very funny moments, and maybe that is all we hope for. Read full review

Casting Caine as Austin's father is a stroke of pure genius. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan
The only thing that won't make you laugh, unless you've got a 12-year-old's sense of humor, is the film's tireless parade of gross-out gags and scatological verbal jests. Myers gets a charge out of this material--it wouldn't be here if he didn't--but so much of it is so tedious it's difficult to believe an adult actually sat down and wrote it. Read full review

Miami HeraldConnie Ogle
The uneven Goldmember seems to take a big step toward the extremely juvenile, with more scatological and fewer sex jokes Read full review

Star/writer Mike Myers and director Jay Roach struggle visibly with exhausted possibilities and diminishing returns. Read full review
