    Party time, excellent. I loved it when it first came out. *Synopsis is wrong, Wayne and Garth were not teenage, they were 30*

    I have a hard time rating this one. I loved it to the point of seeing it three times the first week it was out, probably because it brought back memories of me and my friends at that age. Now I can't even sit through it -- probably for the same reason. What was I thinking -- I HA...( read more)TED high school! And there are many performances by Mike Myers I now prefer over this. Dana Carvey has thankfully dropped below the casting radar. But since I did like this at one time, there must be something to it. So I'll split the difference and give it a middle-of-the road rating.

    A classic comedy with some very funny scenes.

    Back in the day... when Mike Myers was still funny, and Dana Carvey was Garth Algar! Wayne's World was my absolute favourite film when I was a kid! Garth is the only Dana Carvey character I have ever liked. His dance to Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" always puts the biggest smile o...( read more)n my face! And the "Bohemian Rhapsody" rock out in Wayne's car is what instilled the love of Freddie Mercury into my heart forever!

    Essentially, Wayne's World is the embodiment of the early 90's! It's full of excellent tuneage, (plus a phenomenal Alice Cooper performance!), and some brilliant dialogue! I know I'll be quoting this film for the rest of my life!

    "She makes me feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class."

    I really need to get this on DVD! I have definitely worn out the video tape I've owned since the age of six.

    Memorable and funny aside from a scattershot conclusion.

    This movie looks hilarious!!!!!!!!!

    This movie not only introduced me to the comedy of Mike Meyers, it also actually showed me how to enjoy heavy metal. Moreover, this must be one of the biggest single sources of teenage slang offered up in the 90s. Anyone who used (or, like myself, continues to use) the following...( read more) phrases owes this movie... "psycho hose beast", "the cream of some young guy", "she'd give a dog a bone", "sheah" (for indicating "obviously, yeah") or "shwing" (leave that definition up to you). Brilliant.

    I never liked Mike Myers but like Jack Black, I can tolerate it.

Like the Bill & Ted movies, this one works on its intended level and then sneaks in excursions to some other levels, too. full review
