An extremely hilarious movie that will probably go down as one of the funniest comedies of all time is Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me. Dr. Evil, played by Mike Myers, uses a time machine to go back to the year 1969. He searches for the body of Austin Powers, which had been frozen in 1967 and steals his “Mojo.” No, Mojo is not a cappuccino flavor. It’s the essence of sex appeal and he thinks that he is ” Shaggless”. Sound ridiculous? There’s more. Austin Powers, also played by Mike Myers, learns that Dr. Evil is going back in time to steal his Mojo, and he follows him. When he locates Dr. Evil, he uncovers his plan destroy Washington, D.C. with a Laser. Powers enlists the help of a secret agent named Felicity Shaggwell, played by Heather Graham, to help him. At least her name isn’t as bad as the German fashion model sent by Dr. Evil to kill Powers named, Ivana Humpalot. (pronounced I-vanna Hump-a-lot) I wonder what that means? This mov ie not only has a plot, but it’s also full of side gags, raunchy humor, and parodies of old movies. I was laughing so hard half way through the film that I couldn’t see the last half. Oh yeah, I didn’t see the first half either. This movie deserves nothing less than an A rating.

This movie has been given a PG-13 rating by the MPAA

Although I am blind, I can appreciate a good movie as well as sighted individuals.
I rely more on a good story line than special effects.
