Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me [DVD]

This is my favourite of the Austin Powers trilogy and arguably the best. Can't recommend it enough if you like tounge in cheek comedy! You'll be quoting those catch phrases with all your friends after watching this.

The great thing about this movie and owning it on DVD is that you don't need to watch the whole movie all the time, you can just pick and choose all your favourite funniest scenes and replay them, whenever you want to cheer yourself up. The movie is really only a collection of comic set-pieces anyway, some better than others but all of a pretty high standard, such as the silhouette scene of Austin Powers and Filicity Shagwell (Heather Graham) unpacking their bags in the tent. However, the best scenes are undoubtedly the ones featuring Myers as Dr Evil and Mini Me, the cut down clone of Dr Evil (brilliantly played Verne J.Troyer), such as the "Just The Two Of Us" parody. I'm Scottish and I have to say that Myers does a great west coast Scottish accent and so also very funny in a disgusting sort of way is Myers other creation Fat Bastard, a Scottish assassin who makes love to Filicity Shagwell in one of the scenes that will make you laugh and cringe in equal measures. Fortunately we don't witness the sexual act itself I may add.This is a superior follow up to Austin Powers. Bigger budget, better script, more laughs. I wasn't an enormous fan of the first film, I did like it, it had it's moments but I wanted to like it more. I think Mike Myers is the funniest man around at the moment and this movie made me laugh more than any other film since There's Something About Mary. So if you've never seen The Spy Who Shagged Me but have seen Theres Something About Mary, then you'll get the idea of the intellectual level this is pitched at. Don't get me wrong, I'd consider myself to be intelligent but the humour in this movie is often physical but wonderfully infantile, which totally appeals to my childish sense of humour. If you are looking for intellectual comedy you wont find it here. If you don't like toilet humour, you'll hate this movie but for what it's worth I, like millions of others love this movie.

You can watch it

Not my cup of tea...honest opinion.

Yeah baby!

When I saw the price I bought it instantly, I saw it as I child, the first 12 rated movie I ever saw. Whilst it's a lot more immature then I remember it was still a good watch. They have done a good job restoring it and the colours really pop, the images are sharp and it looks like a recent release not a movie that is almost 15 years old. For around £3 for a blu ray you can't really go wrong.

Superb, hilarious and legendary!!

excellent film
