I saw this movie sort of on a whim the weekend it premiered -- maybe the actual opening day? -- along with a lot of other folks who had the same idea, and I remember so clearly sitting in the audience being *delighted* by how silly it was.\* Everyone felt sort of pleasantly surprised and tickled, and those vibes clearly extended to its premiere, where everyone seems to be having a BLAST.

\*Also, every time I realized I've messed up a three-point turn and it's going to take me like 45 tiny adjustments to turn my car around, I do still refer to it as "having to Austin Powers it:"
