Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is a hip, hilarious take-off of 1960s spy adventures -- such as the James_Bond films or Our_Man_Flint -- that goes beyond mere parody. It's evident that creator Mike_Myers, co-star Elizabeth_Hurley, and everyone else involved seem to be having a tremendous amount of fun with the project. Myers supplies not one, but two rich comic creations: the title hero and his arch-nemesis Dr. Evil. The film's fish-out-of-water scenario could easily have been stretched much too thin; though the premise does occasionally flag, Myers peppers the film with offbeat tangents and great cameos from stars such as Tom_Arnold, Carrie_Fisher, and pop impresario Burt_Bacharach. Austin Powers' humor is broad, to be sure, but like many broad cult comedies, the film gets better and better with repeat viewings. Matthew Doberman, Rovi
