We may not need as many Austin Powers movies as there are James Bond pictures, but one or two more might be nice.

Jay Roach directed with just the right amount of period tackiness.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
The originals were spoofs in their own way, too, unless you really believe that secret agents look more like Sean Connery than Aldrich Ames.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post

A loving paean to Bond, Flint, Helm and their ilk (as well as a myriad of outlandish villains), the film knows its turf and only missteps when it ventures into more contemporary territory.
Leonard Klady, Variety

It would take a stone face not to crumple at Austin's dodgy catchphrases and irrepressible sexual desperation.
