I think this movie was written for the express purpose of introducing Mini Me. And I can't say I blame Mike Myers. Who doesn't want a mini version of themselves?
Many of the jokes from the first movie get re-hashed and Mike Myers takes on a third character with Fat Bastard. Heather Graham is fun, existing solely to speak the line: "Felicity Shagwell. Shagwell by name, shag very well by reputation." Oh my.
Still, lots of fun. I mean, this movie supplied most of the quotes used and reused with friends during my college days. What can I say? Mini Me, you complete me.
I've gotten over it slightly but I consider this such a step down from the original in a way that's hard to put my finger on.
