Mike Myers's first feature role without his Wayne's World wig is a performance at odds with the best interests of the movie. Myers plays a single guy who always manages to find something seriously wrong with each of his girlfriends. His new love (Nancy Travis), a butcher, may be the perfect woman, except for one thing: she might be a "black-widow" killer who prefers dispatching husbands with a sharp instrument. Robbie Fox's original script has a fine shape and strong, black-comedy material within it. But Myers creates unnecessary dissonance by playing a variety of characters (including an irascible Scotsman like the one he often played on Saturday Night Live) and accenting his skills as an improvisational comic (such as impersonating the soothing cadences of a massage therapist). It's not that Myers isn't funny doing all that, but it has nothing to do with the movie. Directed by Thomas Schlamme (Miss Firecracker). --Tom Keogh

Mike Myers rocks as himself, and his Dad, in this classic. You'll be "crying yourself to sleep on your huuuuge pillow" if you miss this one.

One of my fav films ever....Mike Myers is so good here, and you can see a hint of Dr. Evil and others that he plays in Austin Powers.

Like another reviewer mentioned, there are no special features on this "deluxe" edition. Other than changing the cover art, I'm still at a loss to figure out how this is considered a deluxe edition. The movie itself is the same as I remembered it. Cheezy in parts and classic Mike Myers humour in others.

Essential Myers
With a possible exception to the original Austin Powers, So I Married an Axe Murderer is quite possibly the best Mike Myers' film to date, whether he or anyone else thinks so. Read more
