Myers gives us all of the exaggerated physical schtick of Jim Carrey plus the added bonus of wickedly clever writing that refuses to let you escape.
The key to the film, however, is the joyous performance of Mike Myers, who plays both the Beatle-mopped Austin Powers and the bald-headed Dr. Evil.
I see Austin Powers as Myers' desperate cry for help -- a plea to stop him before he does schtick again.

If Austin Powers contains your sort of humour, which it does in my case, this is the most fun you'll ever have with any movie. Must-watch for everybody who loves comedy.

Overall this film is a must-see spoof that will cause you to laugh out loud and cringe at the same time. It represents the sixties culture and how much different events are nowadays in a fully satisfying way.

I'm finding that the users rating is much closer to being accurate than the critics ratings. This movie was funny. The scene with Tom Arnold in the bathroom is classic comedy. I laughed so hard I cried.

Mike Myers as the Groovy Austin Powers is a riot. This spoof of spy movies is certainly a relief. You see so many spy movies these days, some are almost a repeat of the same stuff. So when you see A spoof of movies that so many make, you can only kick back, relax and enjoy.

An icon of spoof comedy, "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" kicked off the series in entertaining fashion. Mike Myers is electric as both Austin and Dr. Evil, the film is well-written and there are plenty of humorous moments, It's not perfect, but it's certainly a fun time overall.
