About this movie

Based on the Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name, Wayne's World is a wacky, irreverent pop-culture comedy about the adventures of two amiably aimless metal-head friends, Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey). From Wayne's basement, the pair broadcast a talk-show called "Wayne's World" on local public access television. The show comes to the attention of a sleazy network executive (Rob Lowe) who wants to produce a big-budget version of "Wayne's World"—and he also wants Wayne's girlfriend, a rock singer named Cassandra (Tia Carrere). Wayne and Garth have to battle the executive not only to save their show, but also Cassandra. Director Penelope Spheeris, Myers and Carvey hang a lot of silly, but funny, jokes on this thin plot, and the energy of the cast—as well as the wild pop-culture references—make Wayne's World a cut above the average Saturday Night Live spin-off movie.

Great popular culture gem of a classic film! The bright orange body-conforming lace dress that was worn by actress Tia Carrera in one of the final scenes of this film was a showstopper of a style moment! Music (I tend to prefer violins > guitars, however), Pizza Hut product placement that was certainly an inspiration for the gratuitous (and awesome!) Subway promotional features in the early 1990s Adam Sandler film Happy Gilmore, and the lead actor from American Psycho (1989) are also noteworthy.

A great film with a great plot while keeping up with the hilarious SNL sketches. A home run classic for Mike Meyers,Dana Carvey,Lorne Michaels and altogether the history of Saturday night live altogether. A great hilarious watch.
