Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me ★★★ 1999 (PG-13)

Old snaggle-tooth (Myers) returns and time travels back to 1969 in order to foil his look-alike nemesis, Dr. Evil, who steals Powers' mojo. Myers wisely highlights the not-so-good Dr., along with some hilarious new characters, instead of the periodically wearisome Powers. Again plot takes a back seat to the great dialogue, characters (including Rob Lowe doing a dead-on Robert Wagner and a third Myers incarnation, Fat Bastard), and kitchy eye candy. It all still works because of Myers' winking good nature. 95m/C VHS, DVD . Mike Myers, Heather Graham, Elizabeth Hurley, Seth Green, Robert Wagner, Rob Lowe, Verne Troyer, Kristen Johnston, Mindy Sterling, Gia Carides, Clint Howard, Michael York, Will Ferrell, Muse Watson, Charles Napier, Tim Robbins, Fred Willard, Jack Kehler; Cameos: Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello, Rebecca Romijn, Woody Harrelson, Willie Nelson, Jerry Springer; D: Jay Roach; W: Michael McCullers, Mike Myers; C: Ueli Steiger; M: George S.
