Wayne's World
1992 Directed by Penelope Spheeris
Synopsis
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll hurl.
When a sleazy TV exec offers Wayne and Garth a fat contract to tape their late-night public access show at his network, they can't believe their good fortune. But they soon discover the road from basement to big-time is a gnarly one, fraught with danger, temptation and ragin' party opportunities.

Sometimes it's hard to remember that Mike Myers was at one time one of the funniest screenwriters in film. He created a handful of brilliant comedic characters throughout the decade of the 90's, of which Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar will always be his finest.
I've seen Wayne's World about as many times as I've seen any movie, and it never fails to sustain a laugh-a-minute level of witty brilliance. It's endlessly quotable, features a ton of great tiny appearances from people like Chris Farley, Ed O'Neill, Alice Cooper, Lara Flynn Boyle, and many more.
Yes, it is easy to get caught up in the terrible reality that Mike Myers has been in an extremely disappointing, sequel-focused mindset for years now...but we'll always have gems like this to go back to. Wayne's World is one of the best comedies ever made, in my opinion.

If the people who don't like this movie were an ice cream flavour, they'd be pralines and dick.

A lot funnier than I had expected. Works on a scene by scene basis and that was just what I needed when I popped it on.

This is in my opinion one of best comedies ever made! I still laugh hysterically when I watch it. The entire scene where Stacy gives Wayne the gun rack is probably my favorite piece of dialogue in the entire movie. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are an awesome comedic duo. I would even go on record as to say I enjoy them more than Farley and Spade. Love this movie!

The ever-popular Bohemian Rhapsody is actually among this film's weaker moments, in my book: it's 90 minutes of wonderful wall-to-wall stupidity, and all the better for it.

The fact that I quote this movie more than any other movie and always get blank stares => me feeling old.

It's been years since I first watched Wayne's World, and although it does still raise a chuckle or two I have to admit I just found this film to be quite average. I'm okay with a few of the cultural references being lost to time, I just feel like as a whole the movie didn't have a particularly strong story. Mike Myers is decent enough whilst Dana Carvey steals most scenes for me, and it was a particular highlight to see Lee Tergesen (who I've been a big fan of since his performance in Oz (1997-2003) which is just phenomenal) in a good supporting role. Rob Lowe pretty much always delivers, and of course I have to at least mention…

Although this is really infantile, dumb and silly they had me after a few minutes just because of "Bohemian Rhapsody"! Partytime! Excellent!

So first my friend has a Wayne and Garth poster on her room so I really want to take it but back to this movie. This movie features on of my favourite quotes also I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
"If she were a president, she would be Baberham Lincoln." - Garth Algar

Like a fine wine this film gets better with age. I appreciate the more deep subtle nuances with each revisit. I'm kind of kidding, but I'm mostly serious. I love this movie but will use this "review" to go on a short tangent: On a very serious note, Penelope Spheeris is a criminally underrated filmmaker. If you haven't seen her early movies, not only are you a sick poser, but you are really doing yourself a great disservice. The Decline of Western Civilization is an incredible snapshot of that particular moment in punk history and should 100% be required viewing. Suburbia, for all that can be said about its quirks and "cult" value, is outstanding and surprisingly potent.…

A Movie Every Year Since I was Born
Movie #8 1992
I didn't know what to expect going into this one, I'd heard positive things but was wondering if over time this would aged into something that would have been good back in the 90s.
Well its aged and you can tell that this was a movie of the early 1990s, but I enjoyed it and thought it was a very good movie.
The only thing that was disappointing about this is I didn't laugh have as much as I thought I would. Maybe just once throughout the whole thing.
This could have been better if the movie had a higher age rating of 15 rather than PG.
