Do not kid yourself that some of these jokes are "over their heads." Those kids who do not see it - or who do see it and miss some of the jokes - will hear detailed explanations from those who do of references like Powers asking one woman "Which is it, spits or swallows?" and pretty much every woman "Do I make you horny?" In addition, the movie features character names Felicity Shagwell, Fat Bastard, and Ivana Humpalot, a rocket shaped like a penis (described by a series of characters with every imaginable euphemism), references to a one-night stand "getting weird," an extended sequence in which it appears that a number of objects are removed from Powers' rectum, and Powers' inability to perform in bed due to his missing "mojo." There is also a good deal of potty humor, including Powers mistaking a stool sample for coffee. Because it's a comedy, the rating system gives it a PG-13, but the material would clearly get an R if it appeared in a drama. The end result for "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" is a good film that never aims too high and still occasionally misses the mark.Parents need to know that Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is a 1999 sequel that's very, very, very raunchy, with incessant and prolonged sexual humor. Much like "Zoolander," this is a film I laughed at in the theatre but upon a second viewing it got barely a chuckle out of me.Ī good time? Yes.

The rest of the characters are pretty much a retread, including Verne Troyer's Mini-Me, Seth Green's Scott Evil, Robert Wagner's Number Two, and, well, you get my point.
Only the addition of "Fat Bastard" is really unique, and that becomes somewhat tiresome by the end of the film. If you didn't enjoy the first "Austin Powers" film, then odds are you will have little, if any, appreciation for this film. Get in my belly." I'm not sure that symbolizes cinematic success, but it's sure worth noting! The film features the debut of a new character (portrayed again by Myers) "Fat Bastard," a grotesque, rude, occasionally tiresome, but usually funny character that had me clearing out the local Applebee's restaurant after viewing the film with my repeated screams of "You look like a baby. This time, he is provided female companionship by the lovely Heather Graham, and the rest of the supporting cast from the first film returns. In this, the second of three (so far!) Austin Powers films, Austin (Mike Myers) is again facing his old nemesis, Dr.
"Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" is more a guilty pleasure than a shining example of American film comedy.
