I'm not a strict critic when it comes to comedy movies and I don't have much taste. My friend told me that this was a disappointment but I found it quite funny. Its not all the same jokes and I thought the character Mini-Me was funnier than ever. There are some gut-bustingly funny scenes IMO that make this movie quite worthwhile. But the bad part of it is Goldmember himself. Goldmember was unfunny about 97% of the time. The jokes the writers made about him being Dutch just made no sense at all, and not in a funny way either. As for plot, there wasn't much of one, but plot in a comedy hardly matters to me, for me its a must for horror and drama movies, but not comedies. I like it slightly better than the first Austin Powers, but it doesn't match up to the excellent "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me".

Grade: B+

Since I'm a guy, its obvious that I would be immediately prejudiced to chick flicks like these and I'm still waiting to be surprised with one that is so funny that my gut bursts. Even though its a comedy, it didn't succeed well in its purpose, at least to me it didn't. There were some bright and funny spots, but the overall production didn't succeed to rank high in my book(its not a book with high expectations in comedies either). The comedy is also too cute and what was funny was few and far between. Reese Witherspoon's sharp wit helps the film out somewhat, but I just didn't see what was so hilarious about this production.

Overall: D+

I love comedies with humor that is so incredibly stupid, and this is no exception. The grossly mis-timed dubbing is hilarious! I don't care if its childish, stupid, etc. As long as I LOL several times, I call the film good or great. If I ROFL, I consider it a classic. Basically, you don't have to make a huge effort to make me laugh. The unrealism of this movie is very funny, the only thing that could've been improved was the ending.

Grade: B+
