Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged MeAsphault- All the new jokes, save an annoying Will Smith parody, in this sequel at least made me chuckle, if not laugh quite hard. Unfortunately, there was about a grand total of five new jokes. The rest of the dialogue were either set ups for Mike Myers to say YEAH BABY, or Dr. Evil to tell Scott to shut up. Heather Graham does a terrible job acting and makes Elizabeth Hurley look like she deserved an oscar. All the other actors do decent jobs, but appear to be having a lot more fun than the audience. This movie cost $30 million and easily made twice that much through extremely annoying product placement. Also, besides the title this sequel completely forgets the first films main theme, spy parody. Besides a couple jokes and a new character that doesn't get enough screen time, this is a huge fall from the hilarious first one. No, baby.1 1/2 STARS
