Better than the first
Added 10/3/2009
I can safely say that I DETESTED the first Austin Powers movie. However, I was made to watch the sequel (very reluctantly) and overall, it was a vast improvement. Firstly, there was more Dr. Evil, who was the only funny character in the first movie - I liked how they brought back Scott Evil and I can't stop saying the word "ri - goddam - diculous"! Secondly, there were fewer "Yeah baby!" or "Shagadelic" - style catchphrases. The ones that remained didn't work as the movie was, to an extent, more intelligent. However, I agree with one comment which said that this does NOT typify British humour. (Not even Benny Hill.) Oh, and Fat B******'s accent was really good for a Canadian - I should know, as I'm Scottish. The film still had flaws, though. The humour was overall pretty puerile - something which I don't really appreciate - and some scenes should have been cut as they weren't needed and were pretty disgusting. I'm talking to you, Faeces Sample Scene! Also, (and I know I'll be burned at the stake for this) I preferred Vanessa Kensington to Felicity Shagwell. Heather Graham seemed more like an insipid side - kick than a partner in crime, so to speak - I just didn't feel the chemistry between she and Austin. Liz Hurley was more sultry, which was better. Overall, I didn't really rate the movie - it was pretty bad. But if you saw the first one and didn't really like it, don't automatically assume that you'll hate this. It deserves a chance. My final words of advice - DO NOT watch this movie with three adolescent boys, as I did, or you'll get nothing but nudge - nudge - wink - wink comments whenever Heather Graham appears!

Super Duper Funny, Laugh out loud, leaves where the 1st left off, silly funny, Mike Myers is brilliant, Dr.Evil Being my Favorite Character, Followed by The New Character in this Sequel : Fat Bas*ard. Heather Graham, Mini Me, The movie is a blast!

One of the funniest sequels ever made
Added 3/25/2008
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is a great follow up to Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery . In some senses the film is better the original. Meyers is funnier this time around as Doctor Evil with his one-liners and Verne Troyer is great and steals almost all the scenes as Mini-Me as does Seth Green. A great sequel if you've never seene\ it you're in for a treat.
