Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
A pretty funny spoof of James Bond/spy flicks. When the super-villain, Dr. Evil, is frozen to impose his plans for world domination in the future, Austin Powers does the same. Thirty years later, they're both defrosted and find that they're immensely out of date. Dr. Evil holds the world ransom for $100 billion dollars and only Powers can stop him, but can he put away his habit toward free love to get the groovy chick of his dreams? The premise is less than adequate, but it's enjoyable enough and has plenty of chuckles to make it worthwhile. Not for children.
