Austin Powers in Goldmember
starring Mike Myers, Beyoncé
Knowles, Seth Green, Michael York,
Robert Wagner
A Laugh And A Half
Despite symptoms of sequelitis, Austin Powers in Goldmember is must-
see lunacy for devoted fans of the shagadelic franchise. Unfortunately, the
law of diminishing returns is in full effect: for every big-name cameo and
raunchy double-entendre, theres an equal share of redundant shtick,
juvenile scatology, and pop-cultural spoofery. All is forgiven when the
hilarity level is consistently high, and Mike Myers--returning here as randy
Brit spy Austin, his nemesis Dr. Evil, the bloated Scottish henchman Fat
Bastard, and new Dutch disco-villain Goldmember--thrives by favoring
comedic chaos over coherent plotting. Once theyve tossed Austin into the
disco fever of 1975 (where hes sent to rescue his father, gamely played by
Michael Caine), Myers and director Jay Roach seem va guely adrift with old
and new characters, including Verne Troyers Mini-Me and pop star
Beyoncé Knowles as Pam Grier-ish blaxpo-babe Foxxy Cleopatra. A bit
tired, perhaps, but Powers hasnt lost his mojo. --Jeff Shannon
I bought this item to complete my set collection of the Austin Powers
movies. I found it more spectacular than the other two and really enoyed
watching it. Im sure if you are any kind of a comic fan you must have this
one as well.
