Critic Reviews

  • Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

    Hollywood surely accepts the movie's message: laughter is the least expensive therapy. And audiences may happily parrot another Wayneism to Myers: 'He shoots! He scores!'

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    The movie has a pleasing daftness.

    Director Penelope Spheeris, with her first major studio assignment (and eight-figure budget), delivers a colorful but uneventful picture.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    Very silly but enjoyable.

  • , Time Out

    Much of the credit for the film's success lies with Spheeris, whose confident if rough-edged direction keeps it on track and cooking.

    Wayne's World is a very funny time waster that is worth watching more than once for its memorable characters and of course the adorable relationship between the characters; Wayne and Garth.

    Hilarious, it is a great remake of the SNL skit, very funny.

  • AJ V


    The funniest comedy of the 90s! This movie makes me laugh like mad every time I see it, seriously. All the actors are fabulous, it has a really good style that's goofy at times, and serious at others, but serious in a way that makes you laugh. Plus, the music rocks! You even… More
