Il Pentavirato

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.

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.

Stupid jokes and fun comedy. The story is good enough to keep you watching and some of the scenes are actually hilarious. It's certainly not for everyone but if you enjoy silly things, toilet/sex humor once in a while this is great fun and a nice way to pass the time.

Yes it's a little silly. Yes it's a little slapstick. I like it. As a Mike Meyers fan I love his sense of humor. In the times we live in there is enough cynicism to go around. Kick of your shoes and have a laugh and stop trying to make everything so complex. These days everything is a 1star of a 10 star. There is no longer a middle ground and I get a sense that most reviewers are just bitter. Learn to just have fun and have a laugh.

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!
