Austin Powers in Goldmember is likely worth your money. It's a movie powered entirely on gags and set-ups for gags, but the first fifteen minutes could possibly kill you with their hilarity. And Beyonce Knowles is a better actress (or at least funnier) than Heather "I'm Secret Agent Barbie" Graham.
And I thought it was less gross than the second (not by a large factor, though), so there's a bonus.
This may be the most I ever say about it. But I don't feel like I wasted my time - watching it or writing about it.
