Chicago Sun-Times

James Berardinelli's ReelViews 7 of 10
Mike Myers is wonderful in his dual role, getting a chance to parody both hero and villain in the same film. Not only that, but as Powers, Myers effects one of the most intentionally outrageous British accents ever heard. Elizabeth Hurley is fine as the sidekick/love interest, although certain outfits she wears will focus attention on attributes other than her comic timing. - James Berardinelli
 
The New York Times 7 of 10
Austin Powers, like its hero, has a delightfully misplaced faith in its own relevance. This comedy can be sophomoric, but at some moments it's also unexpectedly sharp. And the film's singlemindedness is so dauntless and just plain nutty that it's hard to resist. - Janet Maslin
 
Chicago Sun-Times 6 of 10
...a funny movie that only gets funnier the more familiar you are with the James Bond movies, all the Bond clones... What is best is the puppy-dog earnestness and enthusiasm that Myers brings to his role. - Roger Ebert
