Critics Consensus

An oddball comedy that revels in its silliness and memorable catch phrases, Wayne's World is also fondly regarded because of its endearing characters.

A true classic of the genre. I'm not going to write fifteen paragraphs attempting (and failing) to explain humor using self-referential mathematical theorem. I'll leave that to the ample number of coked out aspie nerds making up most of the comments section. Simply put, it's one long golden-age SNL skit that actually has funny gags. That's all you need to say. Now go to bed.

It takes a little bit to awrm up to the meta style random 90's humor, and the jokes a first get more of a chuckle than lol. However as it goes on it starts to really find it's stride and somehow be pretty clever and get even funnier with some clever commentary on fame and selling out. The music is awesome and kicks butt. Everything else is really good. The humor is really good and 90% of the time always gets a chuckle or a good laugh and is very original at the same time. Some references are a little dated at times and sometimes it gets a little too random at points but it's nothing close to say like the Scary Movie level ones. Garth & Wayne have great chemistry and Rob Low is really good. The dialouge is a weird combo of stupid but clever and witty at the same time. And there is some pretty clever editing. It does get pretty stupid at points but tha also is the point. It's a lot of fun and a comedy classic. Anyone who is a fan of the SNL show, comedies, or any actors in this will like this a lot.

Ok, aside from Garths stupid little smirk smile that makes him look as if he's ready to pinch one out -- this movie is what I call forced funny. They put on this act that is so enveloped in their sense entertainment that it leaves a stale taste in my mouth. While the head banging scene to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was mildly entertaining, it just went right back to stale comedy. Why people put this movie on a pedestal and deem it a classic is clueless to me. I'm bored out of my mind when people put this movie on. And the music (aside from Queen) fucking sucks. Suck my dick Wayne and Garth.

Saw this one in theaters as a kid. It was hilarious then, it's still hilarious now. The entire film has a sweet, joyful energy about it that the sequel just couldn't recapture. Not once during revisiting this one did I check my watch. It's just a good time and hold up well.

The film still has its priceless moments, however, the best of which comes from Wayne and his pals driving around town while singing along to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

Lots of tasteless jokes, and no need to pay attention -- if you miss a punch line, don't worry. It will be back again in 10 minutes or so.

Wayne's World is a sociological dissertation on the post-adolescent, pre-existential, psychodynamic polemics of popular culture. Not. Wayne's World is a ton of fun for people who are younger than 30 or who think they are.

Q Network Film Desk

successfully expands the world created by the SNL skits, following the logic of the characters, but taking them out of the basement and giving them more depth and nuance without losing the traits that fans already loved

Rated: 3/4
