In the swinging 1960s, a groovy British superagent tries to stop a megalomaniac villain, but the conflict is paused when the villain freezes himself and later returns in the 1990s. Now the agent must get back in the groove—along with help from a daring sidekick—to stop a new sinister plot.

About
If you want a wildly over-the-top spy spoof full of groovy style and big, sometimes raunchy humor, you’ll likely enjoy this; Not for you if you dislike broad comedy or feel uncomfortable with sex-focused jokes, or if you prefer straighter parodies like Wayne's World.
Pros: lots of quotable laughs; swinging spy spoof; memorable villain energy | Cons: jokes can feel crude; humor may drag; some viewers find it dated
