"Uneven and often not funny, relying on recycled jokes and far-too-broad physical humor."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

7/10
"[Myers] is simply brilliant."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

2.5/4
"Austin Powers is worth a look and will definitely boost Myers' career."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/4
"Groovy, baby."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

4/4
"It all adds up to one of the most refreshing, ambitious and hilarious comedies I've ever seen."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

2.5/4
"The bad news is that it's a one-joke picture."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2.5/4
"Good parodies are hard to make, and while this one doesn’t completely succeed, it is funny and silly enough to be enjoyable."  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

"The things it's parodying -- Beatles and Bond movies and all those secret-agent TV shows of the 60s -- were already so tongue in cheek that one needs to go a lot further than this movie goes to really amuse me."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2.5/4
"Amusing but scattershot."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

3/5
"Groovy, baby!."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

3/5
"The film is a lot of fun and there are plenty of laughs."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

3
"If this were the Simpsons, I would have been rolling on the floor; it's not a parody, it's a fish out of water comedy with a splash of homage. And that's why it doesn't work."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery
