Funny in Some Spots, Annoying in Others
2 May 2002
Good comedy that has three thing's going for it. One, the appearence of Elizabeth Hurley who gives a performance that is both sensual and intellegent. Two, Mike Myers performace as Dr. Evil, which outweighs his performance as Austin Powers in terms of sheer comic delights. Three, its spoofing of James Bond films, which in some bizarre form manages to be more interesting than the some of the films from the series it seems to be parodying. Austin Powers:International Man of Mystery(1997) is not a classic comedy, but is fun to due to a couple of memorable scenes. Probably the best performance, Liz Hurley has given in her film career. The moments where the film becomes annoying are during the moments of the sex jokes by Austin Powers and other cast of characters. Also, the film at times becomes too stupid for its own good. Robert Wagner shows a comic side that is full of subtle humor in his role of Dr. Evil's right hand man, Number Two.
