Producer review

Sillier and more enjoyable than expected

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 01:47:17Read transcript
  • A first viewing follows experience only with the Daniel Craig Bond films and proves both better and worse than expected. Craig Horlbeck
  • Seeing Austin Powers first makes the original style being parodied feel odd.
  • The whimsical gadgets contrast with the darker Craig era, but the attractive cast, travel, casinos and spectacle provide enjoyable escapism.
  • The opening was restarted so Liz could join the viewing after the first twelve minutes. Craig Horlbeck

Most Rewatchable Scene

Dolphin-pool Star Trek sequence; mansion party; police station

In the discussion (10)
Approx. transcript time · 00:11:22Read transcript
  • The opening package-destruction sequence is praised for silent physical comedy and its practical dog-rescue setup.
  • Zach argues small throwaway gestures are funnier than the film’s big jokes.
  • Opening rescue and hidden pets are scene candidates; Tex Cobb’s boxing history is recalled, the animal ensemble admired and more apartment scenes desired. The monkey’s Friends identity is uncertain.
  • Zach selects the dolphin-pool Star Trek sequence, especially the five-minutes joke and the German-trainer material missing from the streaming cut; theatrical versus expanded-TV memories conflict.
  • The police-station routine and mansion party are scene candidates. The food-face gag and sunflower seeds in the ashtray are food-and-drink alternatives.
  • The unnecessary Mission: Impossible acrobatics, shark reveal and ring-search montage are praised. Needle-drop choices are Aerosmith’s Line Up and the Mission: Impossible theme.
  • Finkel’s mother and the Shady Acres slow-motion/backwards routine are scene candidates; the mother’s Marino line is an insult-award candidate.
  • The Einhorn fight, eagle-mascot fight and apartment investigation are additional scene candidates.
  • Craig chooses the mansion party; Zach keeps the pool first and party second, praising tiny gestures and expressive walks.
  • Carrey’s coordination prompts discussion of athletic comedians; Bill selects the police-station sequence, leaving three distinct scene choices.
