What Parents Need to Know

About Austin Powers in Goldmember

Parents need to know that this movie has a great deal of material that would get an R in a drama. Because some words miss being naughty by a vowel or two and the sexual acts are apparent rather than real, they pass muster with the MPAA. Parents should be very cautious about letting children and young teens see the movie without viewing it first themselves.

    This movie ruined the series

    The end of this movie completely ruined the austin powers franchise. *SPOILER* Dr. Evil turns good and Scott turns evil. Completely ruins the plot.

    Good Movie

    I think this was a fun movie and without the iffy language and sexual content it could have been ok for 8 year olds. I think this was a funny movie and deserves a better rating. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 15 TO SEE THIS FILM!!!!!! I loved how Mike Myers played 3 major parts in the movie. 9 and up!!!

    Why laugh? Is this crap funny?

    This movie made me look at my 8 year old son in a new light. Why do they think po-po is so funny? I don't get it. But, clearly the fart jokes are knocking a lot of people off the couch. From where I sit this film is a stink bomb.

    HAAAAAAAAAAA!

    This movie is hilarious. I like the part when Fat Bast--- said, "What's my favorite margeret O' Brien movie? Twister!" during a Sumo wrestling fight and twisted a guys private parts, making the man scream like a sissy girl. Yeah baby, yeah.

    YAWN~ could have been better

    The Austin Powers triolgy was a great spoof of the 007 bond films... this one however could have been much funnier... it drags on in the beginning. I almost turned the movie off, (just kept thinking this is supposed to be funny?) I dont think i even cracked a smile or started to laugh till the last half hour... until the scene with dr. evils clone and austin are behind the screen and the shadow of them is showing something rather risque. all in all its just ok. the first two are much better if you want a good belly busting laugh.

    The End of a Dynasty

    Great movie. It follows the path of the other movies, however, it is the worst of the three. Sure it is still hilarious, it's just that the plot is sort of messy. Oh well, I don't care it was still awesome.
