Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery
Spoof of 1960s spy films, in which cryogenically preserved secret agent Austin Powers is brought out of cryofreeze to vanquish his old adversary, Dr Evil.

This shagadelic James Bond spoof isn't for kids.

The bad news is that it's a one-joke picture.

The originals were spoofs in their own way, too, unless you really believe that secret agents look more like Sean Connery than Aldrich Ames.

I know good silly fun when I see it.

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

Jay Roach directed with just the right amount of period tackiness.

Spy movie parodies are common, but Myers is observant enough to notice things that others haven't.

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.

There's nothing malevolent about Austin Powers, he's clearly more Clouseau than Dr. Strangelove, and he is born out of affection, for both the period he's from and for a sense of humour that is peculiarly British.

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

What I enjoyed more than the specific parodies was the spirit behind them.
