  • 90
    Washington Post | Stephen Hunter

    Puerile, pitiful, grotesque, offensive, immature, repulsive and, of course, extremely funny. Read full review

    Washington Post | Desson Thomson

    Mike Myers unleashes (or seems to unleash) the entire contents of his comic mind. Read full review

  • 80
    The New York Times | Stephen Holden

    Like a giant balloon painted with Day-Glo colors, however, the whole gaudy mess wouldn't inflate without the force of Mr. Myers's comic genius. It's his baby, baby. And after three editions, it's still flying high. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalle

    This summer's comic gem. Read full review

    Entertainment Weekly | Lisa Schwarzbaum

    Mike Myers and Austin Powers may stick to their old Beatle boots, but they've both come a long way, luvvy. For proof, just look at all the A-list celebrities-I-won't-mention happy to crash the party. Read full review

  • 70
    Wall Street Journal | Joe Morgenstern

    Nothing to write home about, though nothing to stay home about either, especially if you're a dyed-in-the-polyester Powers fan. Read full review

    Variety | Todd McCarthy

    A picture that, even more than the previous two, feels like a bunch of gags tossed together. The laughs are here, to be sure, although even some of the best of them are retreads and the Swinging '60s recycling act is now feeling a bit past its zeitgeist prime. Read full review

    Rolling Stone | Peter Travers

    The gifted Myers lets his once and (I hope) future shag king get lost in an elephantine Hollywood franchise. The first time was the charm, baby. Read full review

  • 50
    Chicago Sun-Times | Roger Ebert

    A step or two down from the first and second, but it has some very funny moments, and maybe that is all we hope for. Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Kenneth Turan

    The only thing that won't make you laugh, unless you've got a 12-year-old's sense of humor, is the film's tireless parade of gross-out gags and scatological verbal jests. Myers gets a charge out of this material--it wouldn't be here if he didn't--but so much of it is so tedious it's difficult to believe an adult actually sat down and wrote it. Read full review

Information for Parents
Common Sense Media says Iffy for 13+ What can we say? See the movie first, then decide.
What Parents Need to Know Parents need to know that this movie has a great deal of material that would get an R in a drama. Because some words miss being naughty by a vowel or two and the sexual acts are apparent rather than real, they pass muster with the MPAA. Parents should be very cautious about letting children and young teens see the movie without viewing it first themselves.
  • Families can talk about the fact that most of the major characters feel unloved by their fathers. How does that affect them?
