WAYNE'S WORLD: Based on the Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name, Wayne's World is a wacky, irreverent pop-culture comedy about the adventures of two amiably aimless metal-head friends, Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey). From Wayne's basement, the pair broadcast a talk-show called "Wayne's World" on local public access television. The show comes to the attention of a sleazy network executive (Rob Lowe) who wants to produce a big-budget version of "Wayne's World"-and he also wants Wayne's girlfriend, a rock singer named Cassandra (Tia Carrere). Wayne and Garth have to battle the executive not only to save their show, but also Cassandra. (official distributor synopsis)

The first time I met Wayne’s World was via a VHS in a local movie rental store where I must have watched everything there was to watch. I didn’t really remember this one and so I thought I was probably too young for this kind of humor back then. And as luck would have it, Cinemax has opened up this little irresponsible window to assure me that I didn’t remember it on purpose. The bad jokes that are intentionally cringy have evoked sadness instead of joy. Another “legend” I’ve crossed out in my mind.

You either like Mike Myers' humor or you don't, and I subscribe to the former group and enjoyed Wayne's World. It's not nearly as silly and simple a spectacle as it may seem. It's a pretty clever film that makes fun of itself, others, and the entire film industry and loves using all sorts of clichés and turning them on their head or leaving them as they are because they're pretty laughable in their own right... Oh, and the two perfect clowns in the lead roles – and of course Alice Cooper, who apparently knows everything about Milwaukee. Fun, fun, fun.
