  • Starring: Dana Carvey, Mike Myers
  • Summary: In the tradition of “The Ten Commandments,” “Lawrence Of Arabia” and “Gandhi” comes a sweeping screen epic bursting with spectacle and drama... NOT! It's Wayne's World, the hilarious, party-down movie of the year, featuring rockin' tunes, radical babes, and your most excellent hosts, Wayne Campbell (Myers) and Garth Algar (Carvey).

    WAYNE: "No way, Professor; we just needed a story so we could string a lot of gags together without it getting too boring."

    However, thanks to engaging performances and a sharp script, this movie - essentially a series of three-minute sketches filling 101 minutes could be just the right choice for that Saturday night date, while Wayne-speak will no doubt be quoted and become part of the English language.

    In the movie, Myers still boasts his inexplicably confident and cheery expressions -- he's a mischievous smile button. But Carvey overworks his twisted mouth.

    This is possibly one of the best comedies ever created, following in tradition of Saturday Night Live, Myers and Garth live in their own worlds and produce a movie of epic proportions. The injokes, the real jokes, and the deliberately cheesy jokes are all humorous and are sure to make you want more (Buy Wayne's World 2 as well.).… Expand

    A total cult classic. Myers and Carvey play off each other so well. I think the possible reason for mixed views is there is a lot of inside rock jokes that many boring critics might not get. This is truely hilarious,so quotable and so good.… Expand
