Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
It made about 9 times its budget, but middling reviews (53%) and a lukewarm 6.3 from audiences held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

When diabolical genius Dr. Evil travels back in time to steal superspy Austin Powers's ‘mojo,’ Austin must return to the swingin' '60s himself - with the help of American agent, Felicity Shagwell - to stop the dastardly plan. Once there, Austin faces off against Dr. Evil's army of minions to try to save the world in his own unbelievably groovy way.
