A NEW BREED OF EVIL.
The world’s most shagadelic spy, Austin Powers (Mike Myers), attempts to thwart Dr. Evil yet another time; now he’s also facing Goldmember, a Dutchman with serious skin issues. The third time’s definitely not the charm; Myers has a flair for comedy and all the money in the world, but it’s as if he doesn’t give a damn anymore. Austin’s latest nemesis (in clogs) is not funny for a minute. Michael Caine appears as Austin’s Harry Palmer-like dad, but has too little screen time to make a difference.
