Wayne's World

Pros: Myers, Carvey, supporting cast, full of good humor
Cons: Crucial Taunt is about as heavy metal as Reynolds Wrap

(Hello, and thanks for reading this entry in DavidK93’s “D2K-93: The Widowmaker” write-off. The theme of this write-off is films that have one degree of separation from a member of the Brat Pack.)

Anybody who’s watched any...

Pros: Hilarious send-up of live-at-home losers and the stoners who love them.
Cons: None! This is a perfect movie. Or, at least, perfectly enjoyable.

Most of the time, my taste in movies is fairly discriminating, I think. I make it a point to like t ...

Pros: One of the few genuinely good SNL based movies.
Cons: Some of the humor is too corny and predictable.

Generally speaking, most movies based on Saturday Night Live Skits have not fared too well. Apart from the original Blues Brothers, we've been bombarded with annoying schlock like Coneheads, It's Pat (The horror, the horror!) and the two that put the...

Pros: Cast, jokes (even the bad ones), story.
Cons: "Wayne's World 2" is nearly a remake of this one.

"Wayne Campbell" (Mike Myers) and "Garth Helgar" (Dana Carvey) are two Aurora, Illinois, teens who run their own late-night cable access TV show titled Wayne's World, which have made them a local celebrity to their peers. However, they still both ...

Pros: very funny, good cast
Cons: some parts REALLY silly-- might turn off some people

The movie Wayne's World is a hysterical comedy directed by Penelope Spheeris and written by Mike Myers, Terry Turner and Bonnie Turner. Even though this film was released in 1992, teenagers of today can still relate to it. The plot is a simple ...

Pros: funny, engaging loser characters
Cons: can predict just about everything

The most memorable television I watched in my teens consisted primarily of those “not ready for prime time players” at Saturday Night Live. They had cutting edge music and hosts whose acting I respected for the most part. There was a variety of...

Pros: see review
Cons: see review

"Wayne's World" is probably one of the most intelligent and creative comedies I've ever seen, which is quite an accomplishment considering how unintelligent the premise is. In short, this movie shouldn't be as good as it is.

The...

Pros: Funny, no brain power required.
Cons: No brain power required.

I like to pop Wayne's World into the VCR when I'm feeling a little BLAH, and I don't want to see something that might require me to think.

The movie is based on two characters played by Mike Myers (Wayne) and Dana Carvey (Garth). Wayne and...

Pros: Myers and Carvey at their hysterical best.
Cons: Somewhat dated.

I remember being somewhat wary when this film came out in the theater. No Saturday Night Live skit had ever been turned into a movie before and I just didn't think it would be possible to make a 90 minute film out of a 3-minute sketch. I was wrong....

Pros: Funny!!!
Cons: none!!!

If you are looking for around 2 hours of laughs and a lifetime worth of fun quotes that apply to your everyday life. (Got a headache? "Little, Yellow, Nuprin" Impressed with something? "We're not worthy! We're scum! We suck!"...

Pros: Austin Powers's Daddy, One of the funniest films of all-time
Cons: Some may not "get it"

First off, if you are looking for a plot that will send you on a rollercoaster ride of emotion, stop reading and find some other film. Wayne's World isn't there to provide the viewer with a captivating storyline, it's purpose is to make you laugh at...

Pros: It's just a classic.
Cons: Not!

Finally they released the Wayne's World movies on DVD! Oh joyous day. Wayne's World is one of those movies that no matter how many times you've seen it you're already wanting to watch it again. Which isn't too hard seeing as it's on USA or TNT...

Pros: Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Rob Lowe in a great 'bad guy' role, Mike Myers, Tia Carrerre being her usual gorgeous self, and singing a bit to boot! And of course, how can we forget Mike Myers?!?
Cons: The ending is a bit of a let down in some respects, although it is hilarious, it does leave some things unresolved. Watch it and see what I mean.

Wayne's World is probably the movie that really shot Mike Myers into the big time, as far as movies are concerned. He's since of course gone on to make the wildly successful Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery (and the quite successful sequel:...

Pros: Funny, hillarious, and good actors!
Cons: How could something funny be bad?

Wayne's world party time excellent!

This movie is excellent! I think that Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are two of the funniest people on this earth, and the two of them put together is just asking for an awesome movie!

This movie is...

Pros: Non-stop laughter
Cons: none

Sometimes a movie comes along that captures the imaginations of a generation, a movie that makes everyone look inside themselves and rethink their lives. This is not one of those movies, but it is hilarious. Mike Myers' portrayal of a rocking public...
