Wayne's World (DVD)

In the US there is a Saturday Night TV tradition known as Saturday Night Live. It's a topical comedy sketch show with guest hosts and guest stars. Over the years it has launched the careers of many stars such as Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, John Belushi.... the list goes on. Characters from the show have gone on to have movie adaptations. Some of them modest successes but most of them complete failures. Wayne's World and it's sequel are exceptions as they're funny and don't appeal outside of their in-built audience. Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) are two slackers with a late night public ...  Read the complete review

My favourite film of all time, "Wayne's World" is easily accessible to the general public while also instigating a cult of its own. The rock-orientated comedy (spawned from a series of very popular Saturday Night Live sketches by Mike Myers) stars Mike Myers ("Austin Powers") as Wayne Campbell, and Dana Carvey as his best friend, Garth Algar. It also features Tia Carrere as Cassandra, Wayne's tentpole-inducing girlfriend. The film is incredibly funny, and is partially told from a laidback narrative by Wayne and Garth, who occasionally talk to the camera to introduce the events unfolding, yet deny others to speak to the camera.

I like comedy. Despite making me laugh, it creates a unique air of happiness that is unrivalled by all other forms of entertainment. So, logically, something that makes me laugh a lot consistently, is likely to get a big tick in the Ian Book of Good Things. And that, of course, is always good. You'll be quite pleased to know that Wayne's World has attained such a personal accolade on my part, and the tick is scored into the page so hard it shows up on most of the following pages. Yes, it IS that good. Why am I talking rubbish? Well, it made a decent intro now didn't it? OK, so I'm tired and my imagination isn't quite up to scratch, but ...  Read the complete review

As humorous as Austin Powers may be, "Waynes World" is Mike Myers' best creation to date. It has to be one of the best comedies of the 90s, and wipes the floor with its rival "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". It still remains one of my favourite films to date, and is one of the best comedies of the 90s. It also spawned an equally fantastic sequel (I've written a review on this also). "Waynes World" is a simple enough idea: take two layabout teens with nothing better to do than present their own cable access show and cruise around in the "Murph Mobile" whilst saying "scha-wing!" at any passing ...  Read the complete review

Waynes World is a class comedy with Mike Myers featuring as Wayne. This is a hilarious film where a group of 'rockin' friends, make their own TV show. With Waynes best friend Garth being totally scared of women, and his other friends are two spoons away from fruitloops, they get into many funny situations. Wayne also persues the girl of his dreams Kasandra, but she is persuaded by a wealthy producer. If you like the style of Mike Myers and you love to laugh, you've got to see this film. Party on readers. ...  Read the complete review
