[Myer's] affection for the era and its gaudy, bawdy movies inject this bit of fluff with giddy energy.A funny movie that only gets funnier.Spy movie parodies are common, but Myers is observant enough to notice things that others haven't.The film's singlemindedness is so dauntless and just plain nutty that it's hard to resist.There's more here than the perfect recreation of Sixties absurdities and genre spoofery; there's comedy that would be hilarious in any context.We may not need as many Austin Powers movies as there are James Bond pictures, but one or two more might be nice.Jay Roach directed with just the right amount of period tackiness.The originals were spoofs in their own way, too, unless you really believe that secret agents look more like Sean Connery than Aldrich Ames.A loving paean to Bond, Flint, Helm and their ilk (as well as a myriad of outlandish villains), the film knows its turf and only missteps when it ventures into more contemporary territory.The movie fails to live up to its promise.Even at its best, it's not very funny.The bad news is that it's a one-joke picture.The film opened in the year 1967, "Somewhere outside Las Vegas," where bald Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) (modeled after Blofeld in the James Bond films), first seen stroking a white furry cat (named Mr. Bigglesworth)......contains its fair share of bathroom humor, much of it childish, a lot of it gross, and some of it hilarious.This shagadelic James Bond spoof isn't for kids.What I enjoyed more than the specific parodies was the spirit behind them.Tasteless and humorless!
