Austin Powers: O Espião Irresistível

O único episódio da série que vi, e não quero ver outro. Uma comédia cheia de piadas, onde mal sorri duas vezes, e mesmo assim apenas «consoladoramente» que pelo menos algo afogou o espasmo infantil de tudo à volta. Rowan Atkinson interpreta um idiota, mas é engraçado com cada gesto, expressão facial, tom de voz. Adam Sandler interpreta um idiota e é engraçado através do embaraço admitido, sabendo que não é assim tão engraçado. Mas Mike Myers e as suas piadas NÃO SÃO engraçados. Não provocam mais do que a pergunta «o que é isso?». Mesmo as inserções aparentemente paródicas de filmes bem conhecidos não funcionam, não tendo nenhuma ligação a nada no filme. (18/05/2020)

Dr Evil and his mini-me are not very good, they are actually more awkward than funny. Austin Powers isn’t very funny, either, but those beautiful babes around him are worth it. There are a couple of funny scenes, the expletive gags are surprisingly tolerable, I even laughed at one of them. Rather than a comedy, it's one big ball of crazy. I like crazy movies, so I survived Austin unscathed, but those three stars are probably too much. (03/05/2003)

Uncontrollable burst of sketches that cannot be defended against. It requires calm, good mood, original delivery, and it can only end with either love or hate. Whenever Dr. Evil appears, I am not far from tears of laughter and I realize that I will probably occasionally quote this overblown madness until the end of my life. The fat scoundrel is a misstep that prevents the highest rating, but the explosive Myers and the hot Heather Graham save everything else. (28/06/2006)

The second Austin Powers film is much lamer than the first one. That's not to say I didn't have fun, but it wouldn’t kill the filmmakers to show more effort and not just blatantly try to cash in on the success of the first film. (02/11/2016)

But yeah, it's sometimes so stupid that you simply can't criticize it much. There are great jokes here and Mike Myers ultimately suits me incredibly well with his sense of humor. But without Heather Graham, it would simply be a half-baked film. It's incredible how beautiful that woman is to look at. And she also has a sense of humor, which is good. (30/11/2015)
