Wolff rating: GOOD
Plot summary: Frozen 70s super secret agent is thawed in the 90s to fight is arch nemesis, Dr. Evil.
Biased, pithy comments: Meyers has a total charm with the camera, and Hurley, though no Shakespearean player, is funny and competent enough to give her role more oomph than just a sidekick. Along with lovingly recreated cheesy 60s and 70s music and scenery (along with direct quotes from some classics like ``Beyond the Valley of the Dolls,'' ``Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine,'' and of course early Bond films), the plot romps from place to place punctuated by clips that look like they walked out of the ``Monkees'' TV show. And, of course, some scatalogical humor (you don't name one of your characters ``Number Two'' unless you plan use it) which can hit or miss depending on your mood. I had a great time and laughed frequently, but people who haven't watched horrendous films from our parents' age probably won't entirely get it. With Meyers, as in ``So I Married an Axe Murderer,'' sometimes the jokes run on too long, but generally it's tightly edited at 90 minutes and quite clever.
Other Notes: ``Groovy, baby!''
