"If you've got a time machine, why don't you just go back in time and kill Austin Powers when he's on the crapper or something?" – Scott Evil

Why watch this? AP2 is more of the same, and by "more" I mean, bloody wonderful more!

Plot Summary: Once again Austin Powers must square off against his nemesis, Dr. Evil. Only this time, His Baldness has been, that's right, cloned, in the form of the 2 ft. 6 in. Mini-Me - a little person with a big temper. Austin Powers has mysteriously lost his "mojo", so he travels back to 1969 and enlists blonde-bombshell CIA Agent Felicity Shagwell. Together they take on Dr. Evil and his most notorious henchman, the nasty Fat Bastard!

Dad's Preview:  If you liked Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) this raunchy, hilarious romp will thrill you. This is a confident comedian, Mike Myers, at the peak of his creative mastery. Part of why these films are so funny is that Powers can be sexist, and he gets a pass because he literally is from a time when that was somewhat excepted. He gets most of the laughs at his own expense... and I can laugh at that all day long.
