Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

As a swinging fashion photographer by day and a groovy British superagent by night, Austin Powers is the '60s' most shagadelic spy. But can he stop megalomaniac Dr. Evil after the bald villain freezes himself and unthaws in the '90s? With the help of sexy sidekick Vanessa Kensington, he just might.

Austin Powers landed as a mixed-to-decent comedy on release, with critics broadly charmed by Mike Myers' committed physical performance and the film's affectionate send-up of 1960s spy culture, though divided over whether the direction actually makes the most of the material. It has aged into a crowd-pleaser with audiences warmer to it than critics initially were.
