Part of Staff Picks and programmed by Erin, who says: “Mike Myers writes and stars in one of the greatest comedies of all time. Come see how this ‘shagadelic’ spoof holds up almost 30 years on!”
If he were any cooler, he’d still be frozen, baby! It’s a smashing shagadelic party as Mike Myers and Elizabeth Hurley star in a non-stop, hilarious comedy adventure. Frozen in the ’60s, secret agent Austin Powers (Myers) is thawed back into action to once again battle his archenemy Dr. Evil. With his sexy sidekick Ms. Kensington (Hurley), Austin must stop Dr. Evil’s outrageous plot to control the world. But first, this time-warped swinger must get hip quick and discover that there’s no free love in the ’90s! An all-star supporting cast including Michael York, Robert Wagner, Mimi Rogers and Carrie Fisher make AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY a wacky, far-out trip.
“The kind of movie Mel Brooks used to make — extravagantly funny, with plenty of juvenile humor, but as much or more of it smart, delivered with a dead aim at a cultural milestone, affection for its victim, and style. Lots of style. That’s what makes it shagedelic, baby.” —Robert Faires, Austin Chronicle (May 9, 1997) “As goofy and throwaway as the Brady Bunch movies, but it has the same winking appreciation of vintage kitsch.” —Janet Maslin, New York Times (May 2, 1997)
