Best movie ever!
Neive Bellamy
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

"Wayne's World 2" came out a year after 1992's "Wayne's World" with Mike Myers as Wayne Campbell and Dana Carvey as Garth Algar, who run a silly cable show rooted in rock/metal culture. In this sequel, Wayne receives word in a vision from none-other-than Jim Morrison to put on a concert in Aurora, Illinois. He dubs it Waynestock. If he "builds it" will they come? I saw this film before the first one in a motel with my wife circa 1994-95 and, by the end, I was crying I was laughing so hard. The scene that put me over the edge was when a certain classic actor appears as a gas station attendant.Memorable moments abound: The encounter with the albino-eyed city official, Wayne's martial arts fight with Cassandra's father, Wayne's visions with Morrison and the half-naked Indian, and many more.The original film is actually a let-down compared to this one. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid comedy and consistently amusing if you're in the mood for goofy humor rooted in 70s-90s rock/metal, but there are a number of flat areas. This sequel flows better and is way funnier. It helps if you're up on the rock/metal scene and cinema though, otherwise you won't get half the jokes.I gauge comedies by how funny they are (naturally), as well as how compelling, and "Wayne's World 2" delivers exceptionally on both fronts. It's one of my all-time favorite comedies along with "Coming to America" and the original "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." The film runs 95 minutes and was shot in Chicago and Southern California.GRADE: A

I am shocked to find that this classic movie is so poorly reviewed. This movie is very funny and has fantastic cameos. I know that many people have a real hate on for Mike Meyers which I don't particularly understand. I do think that the Austin Powers Series is overrated but still good. The first Wayne's World is a great movie. The sequel is one of the best comedy movies ever made. If you don't like comedies don't waste your time, that is pretty simple. If you like to laugh give this movie a try. The cameos alone are quite impressive. Couple that with the great writing that reminds me of The Simpsons in the earlier best years they had, and add in great comedic actors and you have a comedy classic that is worth watching.

Wayne's World as a brief SNL skit was always quite hilarious, and the first movie was one of the better ones made from an SNL skit. However by the time this movie had made it to cable TV, the entire concept just seemed way over done. Having a profitable movie can cause these types of situations. Of course a sequel will be made, and then the goal is keeping the material fresh, and finding new things for your characters to do. Wayne's World 2 is really just a rehashing of the same ideas from the original mixed with numerous cameos, other movie references, and ideas that just don't always pay off with the laughter that Myers may have intended.The story picks up with Wayne and Garth still doing their public access TV show, just like in the original. Wayne is still jealous of his girlfriend Cassandra's career and male attention, just like in the original. In order to prove his own worth, Wayne decides to throw a huge outdoor music festival to apparently make things right with the world again. Things culminate with the appearance of Aerosmith making their second cameo of the movie. There are some truly funny moments that mostly involve Chris Farley as a roadie wanna be, and Garth trying to woo Kim Basinger. Christopher Walken's appearance is welcome of course as a romantic rival for Cassandra's affection. Also a funny cameo from James Hong as her father.Alas, the magic just isn't there this time, and it was certainly time for Mike Myers to move on from this character. Penelope Spheeris was not on board this time as she, like so many others, found Mike Myers impossible to work with. Now after the failure of The Love Guru, it is unclear if Myers has anything new left in him. If Wayne's World 2 comes on, you might want to keep hitting buttons on your remote control every few minutes to see if something better is out there. 5 of 10 stars.The Hound.

Wayne's world is about more than the theme song they sing, the fight scene with Mr.Wong and the weird naked Indian. Its about two guys Wayne and Garth who just want to do what every teenage metal head dreams of.The thing that sells me so much on this movie more so than the original is a lot of Wayne's reference to pop culture. Little things that you don't really pick up until you watch it for the 10th time. Things like waynes John Hughes reference, or Del talking about hanging out with Jeff Beck.I have nothing but praise and respect for this movie, and I fail to see why Mike Myers hates that he made it. So until next time, party on.
