Remember When Mike Myers Was Cutting Edge Funny?

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2008)

I have been a Myers fan since his SNL days. But ever since he made that first sequel to Austin Powers, it's been a downhill tumble into low-brow jokes that pander to the crude and ignorant in the audience. This movie is him scraping the barrel: a string of bad dick and fart jokes mixed in with him giggling like a moronic school girl as he tries to stretch out jokes that get small titters and eye rolls at best.
Mike, you are a funny man, but playing the same gag over and over again is underestimating and abusing your audience. Remember the witty humor you did in Wayne's World? That is what audiences are craving again... we want sophisticated dick and fart jokes, if you must have them. Do yourself a favor: rent Superbad, Waiting, Knocked Up, Juno, and The 40 Year Old Virgin. Take notes... these are the comedies that people raved about over the past 5 years.
Report back when you have something worthwhile. And remember, don't underestimate your audience's level of comedic intelligence.
