The TVI Take
Jay Roach's 1997 Mike Myers vehicle whose Bond-parody framing turned out to be sustained inquiry into mid-century male sexual confidence as performance. The film is more carefully constructed than its reputation suggests, the time-frozen-1967-man-in-1997 conceit is rendered with cultural specificity (yellow teeth, chest hair, conversational rhythm) that the sequels diluted.
