Ranking the 25 Best Comedies of the 21st Century

22. Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)

The third movie of the Austin Powers trilogy, Goldmember ushered in two heavyweights in Beyonce and Michael Caine. Though most sequels are honestly a waste of time, this one was actually funny! It offered a fresh take on the storyline, which involved Dr. Evil and Austin coming to the realization that they’re actually brothers. In the process, Caine’s suave persona worked terrifically as Austin’s dad, and Beyonce played the role as the main female protagonist brilliantly. Some of the jokes may be a bit outdated/geared towards the time when the film came out. Regardless, it’s a very good addition to the franchise as a whole.
