AUSTIN
POWERS:
INTERNATIONAL
MAN
OF
MYSTERY
is
the
first
in
the
comic
series
starring
this
bodacious
1960s
spy
played
by
the
hilarious
Mike
Myers.
Decked
out
in
the
gaudiest
mod
attire--ruffled
shirts,
tight-fitting
candy-colored
suits,
horn-rimmed
glasses,
and
prosthetic
teeth--Austin
Powers
is
anything
but
subtle.
His
near-constant
exclamations
of
"Groovy,
Baby,"
accompanied
an
uncandid
flash
of
his
flirtatious
smile,
only
add
to
his
wonderfully
exaggerated
hipster
persona.
Plotwise,
Austin
Powers
and
his
enemy
Dr.
Evil
(also
played
by
Myers)
awake
from
30
years
of
frozen,
cryogenic
sleep
to
find
themselves
in
the
year
1997.
A
conniving
Dr.
Evil
plots
a
reign
of
terror
and
mass
destruction,
but
finds
that
his
ideas
and
methods
are
a
bit
out
of
date.
Our
hero
encounters
a
similar
dilemma,
realizing
that
he
is
definitely
behind
the
times.
A
series
of
well-meaning
though
bumbling
efforts
to
thwart
the
insidious
Dr.
Evil
keep
Austin
Powers
and
his
devastatingly
beautiful
partner
Vanessa
Kensington
(Elizabeth
Hurley)
hard
at
work
as
they
travel
from
London
to
Las
Vegas.
With
this
tongue-in-cheek
send-up
of
James
Bond
spy
films
and
1960s
cliches,
director
Jay
Roach
compliments
Myers'
over-the-top
performance
with
a
lighthearted
soundtrack,
fun
photography,
and
amusingly
retro
sets.
