Synopsis: Dr. Evil is back...and has invented a new time machine that allows him to go back to the 60's and steal Austin Powers's mojo, leaving him "shagless".
Reaction: Still funny, and the addition of Mini Me is extremely original, but this one seems to get a bit more crass than the last one.
Personal Rating: 6/10 |
