about all those movies is Elizabeth Hurley in part 1 bytch was a dime. ALL of them shyts was trash and not funny.

Shes gorgeous. I thought the first film was funny, but there was no need for the sequels.

 

[AnonymityX1000]

The second one is the best IMO. But yeah overall the series is pretty overrated.

 

[Chris Cool]

only the 3rd one is bad.

But seriously, these movies have aged TERRIBLY.

Big part of my mid teens in the late 90's, I think I didn't see the first one in theaters. I watching R Rated movies at 11 and 12, but often without the direct consent of parents. For theaters, I could sometimes see them, but the (in retrospect) silly chasm between censoring sex vs censoring violence, probably got in the way of me seeing in 6th grade. Everyone talked about it, and saw it on VHS first week.

I vividly remember seeing the 2nd one in theaters, it was quite the cultural moment in 1999, Fat b*stard, and all the sight gags were referenced endlessly. Also, vividly remember seeing the third one, which, to me, was maybe the funniest, because some of the jokes were slightly more sophisticated, and my own sense of humor, honed from SNL had probably sharpened, at 16, from 13. Saw with my adopted family, ten deep, middle row in a packed theater opening weekend.

Look no further to the extent of how influential these movies were, than "Blueprint 2", with Jay crooning "ohhh behave"

First one is the only to one that can be viewed without cringing lol

 

[Vandelay]

First 2, Elizabeth Hurley, and the theme are good. They're great if you're a big 007 fan.

I LOVED the second one probably cause I saw it without ever seeing the first one. I was dying in the theater watching it. People I knew who had seen the first one said it rehashed too many jokes. I need to peep these again someday. The third one sucked when I saw it.

Not going with this narrative. The movies are good for what they were and funny
