One of the real surprises of Austin Powers is Elizabeth Hurley. She emerges as a good comedic actress. And she looks absolutely fabulous in a metallic mini-skirt as she and Austin try to escape from Dr. Evil's lair. Unlike so many models who end up wooden in front of a movie camera, Hurley projects a fun and sexy image. In addition, Carrie Fisher gets a good cameo as a group therapist who helps Dr. Evil and his son reconcile their feelings. And Tom Arnold gets a very funny cameo as a Las Vegas gambler who meets Austin in the men's room: while Arnold sits on a toilet doing his business, he hears Austin grunting and groaning (he's getting strangled by one of Dr. Evil's henchmen).

Austin Powers is a spy from the 1960s who was put into suspended animation only to be thawed out in the 1990s. His attitudes towards reality in general and women specifically are ... dated by some thirty years and a source of much of the film's substantial amount of humor. In this first installment Austin must confront Dr. Evil, the greatest enemy Austin ever faced, and not surprisingly Dr. Evil, also played by Myers, has big time evil plans.

Even though Austin Powers in Goldmember will have you holding your gut, you can't help but notice that the plot seems to be missing at times. Maybe too many laughs and not enough secret agent stuff? Something else missing from Austin Powers: Goldmember was music. Sure there were a few tunes but the first two flicks were jam-packed with hip-shakers.
