In this big screen spin-off of the SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE skit, two small-town cable TV hosts and best friends, Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey), spend their days and nights chasing babes (schwing!) and refusing to budge from their long-haired, head-banging lifestyle. Ably capturing a love of rock music and the goofiness and exuberance of youth, director Penelope Spheeris (THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION PARTS documentary series) brings a natural sense of fun and abandon to the film. (The car scene featuring Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" alone is a comedy classic.) WAYNE'S WORLD features appearances by Rob Lowe, Chris Farley, rockers Meat Loaf and Alice Cooper, and others.

"...Myers' parodic, referential sensibility...rules the roost..." -- Rating: B
Great film! Waynes World is a real classic! Funny and brilliant. Mike Myers at his best!
Nothing else to say....... just classic!
I remember watching this film years ago when it was first released, and how much I enjoyed it then. Watching it now, it seem to have got even funnier over the years. Wayne and Garth are characters that you can't help loving - their hillarious naievety brings everything down to a basic level of simplicity - all they need is music, girls, and to broadcast their show from their parents basement. It's a hoot from beginning to end.
Working with funnyman Ricky Gervais in new comedy The Invention Of Lying was "frustrating" for professional Rob Lowe - because the Brit kept ruining scenes by giggling through them. The former The West Wing star insists his director and co-star couldn't keep a straight face for some comic moments. He says, "He would laugh in the middle of takes and ruin everything... so that was frustrating." Lowe, on the other hand, insists he has never "ruined a take" by laughing - even though many stars...
