The Pentaverate

I'm expecting the reviews to be 1-3s or 7-9s. There will be two clear groups: you'll love it if you miss Austin Powers / Wayne's World humour with minimal evolution since that time, you'll hate it if you are expecting something fresh and new. It's as simple as that :).

Cons: it's juvenile, predictable, unchallenging base humour Pros: it's juvenile, predictable, unchallenging base humour !!

Party on Austin!

Into the third episode and it's a bit hit and miss if I'm being honest. But, as an Austin Powers fan I'm going to keep watching as when it is funny, it is actually very sharp and clever.

The Netflix censored pool hall scene was sheer genius. I can't even begin to imagine how the dialogue was so cleverly pieced together to make the joke work the way it did.

Also, did anyone else get "The Prisoner" vibes or was it just me?

I spent the first few episodes thinking... this style of comedy was done and finished.

Yet I kept watching.....

By the midpoint, I was chuckling away at silly "old school" toilet humour.

I remembered how not to take everything so seriously.

By the end, I was laughing out loud at the randomness of cliches and stupid jokes while noticing that Mike Myers sparked the way for the Coen Brothers and Wes Anderson.

To be fair, it's not brilliant, but hey, neither are you.

Comedy and entertainment can be just stupid and wild. It can still make you laugh and it can still be fun. This is and I loved it. Mike Myers is great and I am glad he has made something again. Mike Myers has always made us have some fun quick laughs.

It's a Mike Myers vehicle for his brand of silly comedy. You know exactly what you are getting before the starting credits roll. If you don't like his previous stuff you aren't going to like this. Pointless complaining about holes in the story line, crass humour or down right rude bits as that what he's done since the 90s. It was fun.
