Critic Reviews

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

Duane Byrge

While the plot is a bit light even to be carried on Wayne and Garth's droopy shoulders, it's splendidly smart, dumb stuff. Read full review

Roger Ebert

The movie wants to be a laffaminit extravaganza like the Zucker & Abrahams productions, but with slyer humor, more inside jokes, throwaway references and just plain goofiness, as when the characters occasionally break into their own language. Read full review

Susan Wloszczyna

Actually, as films inspired by Saturday Night Live sketches go, this is pretty good. Count on three big belly laughs if you are over 30, more if you are under 18 and even have a belly. [14 Feb 1994 Pg. 04.D]

Empire Staff(not credited)

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.

Desson Thomson

Myers, who created the original characters, has to make a feature film out of a teeny sketch. With cowriters Bonnie and Terry Turner, he fares better than you'd expect. Read full review

Jay Scott

Wayne's World has been engineered to amuse people who are mirror images of its heroes, but it goes wickedly wrong: It's so dumb it talks down to the stupid. Read full review

Wayne's world, a great comedy movie with some great and hilarious scenes with Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey) they honestly work so well with each other throughout this movie and they've got some funny scenes from start to finish in this movie.

Also, the movie's got a decent plot going for it and some hilarious fight scenes. Finally, that Terminator 2 reference is golden and it's honestly brilliant. Overall, this movie is probably one of the funniest comedy movies I've watched in a while and there's some good ones out there but this has to be one of the best in my opinion, worth the watch.

Also, I forgot to mention this movie is quotable like **** and I love it.… Expand

Perhaps only bettered by Harry & Lloyd from Dumb & Dumber as the greatest comic duo of the modern age. Classic comic caper which is as ridiculous as it is funny with a great tongue in cheek performance from Rob Lowe. You will either love or hate this movie. I love it.

La connerie à ce point, comme disait Audiard, moi je dis que ça devient gênant... Gênant pour eux, pour nous, le monde entier et le genre humain en particulier, y compris le transgenre (attention, faut être inclusif !). La crétinerie à son maximum donc, absolument pas regardable ni au début ni à la fin, ni au milieu : c'en est débectant, très affligeant mais aussi très emmerdant avec en point d'orgue le super débile Mike Myers qui surpasse tous les débiles passés, existants ou à venir. Invité d'honneur à vie du mercredi soir. Lui et ses "potes".… Expand
