This movie borrows heavily from the earlier Austin Powers films (notably the second one). Fans of SNL will even catch glimpses of Mike's characters from his time on that show. What remains is wall-to-wall toilet humor. Furthermore, his portrayals of Austin and especially Dr Evil are not as consistent and focused as the first two movies. If you are a die-hard fan, there is enough here to get some reasonable laughs and not feel cheated. Otherwise, stick with the first two movies.
