Three stars

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

(New Line)

To preserve the original film's chief gag, its '60s-versus-'90s dialectic, AP2 sends Austin Powers (Michael Myers) back in time 30 years to foil a plot by Dr. Evil (Myers again) involving a laser mounted on the moon. Austin is also returning to find his all-important sex drive; fortunately, waiting for him back in the groovy '60s is CIA agent Felicity Shagwell (an impeccable Heather Graham). Postmodern irony proves no match for gentle shagadelic silliness.
