I remember being a little disappointed by this sequel when it came out – it had plenty of good moments but made some crucial errors and threw opportunities away. But its better on re-viewing because you just wait for the good moments to come around again and you don’t mind the lack of structure. The main error I think was killing off Elizabeth Hurley in the beginning and having Austin be happy because he was single – this cheapens the feelings the character had for Hurley and cheapens the film.Plenty of bright moments, though: the emergence of a new star in Mini-Me, the stunning beauty of Heather Graham (backed by some sexy as hell outfits she is perhaps the most gorgerous heroine in 90s cinema – though her voice clangs a bit), Will Ferrell’s death scene, Dr Evil telling Austin he is his father, Dr Evil playing ‘God was One of Us’ on the piano for no reason (how will we explain that joke to future generations), the Alan Parsons Project, Austin finding his own clone incredibly sexy. Lots of fun.
