A gleefully absurd spy-comedy parody that mines the gap between '60s grooviness and '90s culture shock for relentless, affectionate laughs.

As a swinging fashion photographer by day and a groovy British superagent by night, Austin Powers is the '60s' most shagadelic spy. But can he stop megalomaniac Dr. Evil after the bald villain freezes himself and unthaws in the '90s? With the help of sexy sidekick Vanessa Kensington, he just might.
