movie review - Austin Powers Man of Mystery

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.05.04

May is off to a goofy start with this ridiculous flick. It is Mike Meyers doing his thing, with typical abandon. He make outrageous passes at the female lead, spends about ten minutes completely naked, mugs for the camera constantly, and even sings a few songs. Quite funny in several spots, but deathly in as as many.

Recommended. With Meyers, you know what you're getting into!

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.
