Summary: One of the funniest movies ever
Review: If you like comedy and are a member of genX or any other for that matter you cannot go without seeing this movie. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey take the skit on SNL to new heights. Its one of my fav movies and i highly reccomend it. "Hi im in Deleware"~Wayne (Mike Myers)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Rallying Call to Anyone Who Became and Adult in the 90's
Review: One of the best "Gen X" movies of the decade (so far). Represents everything that someone who came to adulthood in the early 90's knows and loves. Great soundtrack, awesome comedy. I can't tell you how many times my friends and I repeated the Bohemian Rhapsody scene in my car. Too bad they're not still on SNL. Until we meet again, "Party on". END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awful... Not
Review: Based on the popular "Saturday Night Live" sketch, 1991's "Wayne's World" is the funniest movie I've ever seen. I don't remember going longer than 20 seconds without even smirking. The "Bohemian Rhapsody" sequence is worth the price of the film alone, but it's an altogether hilarious effort.

Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers in his breakthrough film role) and Garth (Dana Carvey) host their own cabel access show in Aurora, Illinois. One night, a sleazy tv exec Benjamin (Rob Lowe) catches their show and gets video arcade honcho Noah Vanderhoff (Brian Doyle Murray) to sponsor it. Wayne and Garth agree to sign the contracts and broadcast the show nationally. They indeed reap the pleasures of fame - baxkstage passes to meet Alice Cooper, $5, 000, 000 plus Wayne winning the affections of robobabe Cassandra (Tia Carrerre). But soon, things go awry. Wayne loses Garth and Cassandra, and his show's cancelled. What could possibly make it worse? Find out in this hilarious comedy romp.

This has proved to be the only good movie based on an "SNL" sketch. It's sad to se that so much of Dana Carvey's talent is in this film, because it's a shame that all of his subsequent efforts tanked ("Master Of Disguise", anyone?). The extras included trailer and a nice documnetary.

Summary: It makes me feel kinda funny
Review: Long before the world ever heard of Austin Powers, Mike Myers was infusing pop culture with the catch phrases and wild doings of Wayne Campbell and hastening the move of multiple Saturday Night Live characters to the big screen over the course of succeeding years. Wayne and his trusty sidekick Garth raked up at the box office and left us with a classic comedy that will be making people laugh for years to come. Aside from all the Wayne-isms and Garth-isms, this movie changed forever the way we listen to a number of classic rock songs.

Okay - let's review. Wayne lives in his parents' basement, but it's okay because he and his buddy Garth have their very own public access show on their local cable station in Aurora, Illinois. Wayne thinks his dream of doing Wayne's World for a living (and thus escaping from the world of name tags and hair nets) has come true when he gets an offer to do the show on a Chicago TV station, but there's a certain matter with the fine print. Will Wayne sell out? Yeah. And monkeys might fly out of my butt.

Myers and Carvey take their SNL trademark routines as far as they can, going a little too far once or twice (as with the Scooby Doo and Mega-happy endings - although they did make possible the much-appreciated Tia Carrere bikini scene), and it's not hard to see why: Wayne's World was the most popular SNL skit for a good two to three years running. The film has a surprising number of familiar faces: besides the aforementioned Tia Carrere, you get Rob Lowe (fresh off a certain little infamous home movie), Brian Doyle-Murray, Ed O'Neill, Lara Flynn Boyle, Donna Dixon, and - making cameo appearances - Chris Farley, Meatloaf, and Alice Cooper. Of course, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey take center stage at all times. They satirize everything, from Grey Poupon commercials to the entertainment industry, to themselves.

There are a number of memorable scenes: the Bohemian Rhapsody bit as the guys cruise town in the Mirth-mobile, Garth's Foxy Lady dance number (many of us will never be able to listen to that classic Jimi Hendrix tune the same way again), all of the Dreamweaver moments, the Laverne & Shirley take-off trip to Milwaukee, Wayne's Marilyn Monroe impersonation, and others. Whether you knew it or not, you were exposed to Wayne's World lingo throughout the 90s, so if you haven't seen the movie, isn't it time you learn why you should have laughed at all those jokes you didn't understand way back then?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Schawing
Review: "Wayne's World" is a movie that shouldn't be funny but is. It shouldn't be funny because its plot is so ridiculous and pointless as to render the story almost meaningless. The basis of the plot is that two guys named Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) have a cable-access show in Wayne's basement in Aurora, Illinois. The show, which is just Wayne and Garth goofing on stuff, catches the eye of Benjamin Kane (Rob Lowe), a smarmy television producer who wants to buy and remake it into a cash cow. Meanwhile, Wayne falls in love with a local musician named Cassandra Wong (Tia Carrere). After Benjamin comes into the picture, Wayne is afraid of losing Cassandra to him because of his music industry connections, good looks, money, and fancy car.

What saves "Wayne's World" from the purgatory of its plot is Wayne or, more specifically, Mike Myers. Myers was still an unknown in 1992. For those of us who had seen him on "Saturday Night Live" we already knew he could be stomach-hurting funny. However, until "Wayne's World" you just didn't know if he coud keep it going for a whole movie. As everyone knows now, he can.

Myers comic timing created gold out of lead. "Wayne's World" is a movie more memorable for its lines than its story. That can be a dangerous way to make a good movie as the lines can grow tired with age (see "Spaceballs"). That's not the case with "Wayne's World" though. It's still as good today as it was ten years ago.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is an awsome movie.........NOT !
Review: Wayne's World is one of the funniest and hardest-rockin' movie I've ever seen. The two amegos in the movie are just hilarous. There are many memorable secenes and lines.
Overall this is a revolutionary picture and you MUST see it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still the best SNL-Skit-Turned-Film ever made!
Review: I loved the movie! I couldn't stop laughing. Everything about it gave me either a bursting laugh or even just a giggle. Wayne and Garth actually interact with the audience by talking to the camera from time to time. If it was still in the theater, I'd go see it 5 times. I loved the second one as well. But the first was the real kicker!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.
Review: Waynes World is my favorite movie of all time. I have never laughed so hard outloud in my life watching any other movie. Mike Myers' and Dana Carvey's best movies by far. I reccomend this to anybody who likes movies. If you havent seen this it is essential so go rent it now! The one liners are endless and you will be quoting this movie for ever and i still am!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WAYNE'S WORLD, WAYNE'S WORLD, PARTY TIME, EXCELLENT
Review: WAYNE & GARTH [MIKE MYERS & DANA CARVEY] HAVE A SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY ACCESS TV SHOW. WHEN THEY MOVE THE SHOW TO A NATIONAL NETWORK, PROBLEMS OCCUR WHEN A TV EXECUTIVE [ROB LOWE] TRYS TO PUT THEM OFF THE AIR AND TRYS TO STEAL WAYNE'S NEWEST GIRLFRIEND [TIA CARRERE]. BASED ON A SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE SKIT, THIS MOVIE IS VERY FUNNY AND IT'S NEVER BORING TO WATCH. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS MOVIE. FOLLOWED BY A SEQUEL.
