User blog:ARTaylor/20 Years of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

Today is the twentieth anniversary of the premiere of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. A clever throwback to classic spy movies, the film follows a British spy, the titular Austin Powers, from the 1960s who freezes himself awakening in the 1990s to deal not only with his arch nemesis, Dr. Evil, but the changed times. The film was a moderate success in theaters, becoming such a big hit on home video that it spawned two highly successful sequels. It features the talents of Seth Green as Dr. Evil's angsty clone/son Scott.
