Wayne & Garth's Excellent Adventure

Wayne & Garth's Excellent Adventure could have worked as the title for this movie. It plays of the same vibe as Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. 2 Cool guys, that caught up in an Excellent Adventure. Except instead of Bill & Ted's Phone Booth they have the Murfmobile.
This film has to be the best Saturday Night Live based film, just barely beating Blues Brothers (1980), and beating A Night At The Roxbury (1998) by a long shot. But its definitely evident that takes Buddy Picture to make a SNL based work and this film embellishes it so well.
If your smart enough person to believe me in this film is so good, you gotta check out Wayne's World 2.

I'm mental over this movie.

"Wayne's World" is just one awesome movie, especially when you see it with your friends. This has to be one of Mike Myers best movies ever it is absolutely hilarious and filled with great scenes like when they are listening to Queen's "Bohemian Rhaspody" in the "Mirth Mobile" or even the Scooby-Doo Ending my most favorite scene though is the one with Brian Doyle Murray(Bill's brother)as the Arcade mogul on the re-newed "Wayne's World" you'll know what I mean when you see the movie. Everything about this movie shines and the comic timing is just perfect.

It's Wayne's world, party time, excellent!

This has to be the best Saturday Night Live sketch turned movie ever, unless you count Waynes World 2. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey have a great on screen chemistry together and they both bring life to their wacky characters. Watch for cameos by great actors including Ed O'Neil, Chris Farley, and on. This film doesn't really have a plot, it's more like a longer version of the original sketch with a pompous t.v. producer wanting the two dudes to put their show on cable. Wayne has fallen over heels for a band girl while he is being annoyed by a girl he broke up with long ago and Garth is in love with a drum set, stair way to heaven! No matter how much you try not to laugh, you can't stop yourself from at least giggling from this film. The whole idea of Wayne and Garth talking to the camera, genius! The Bohemain Rhapsody sequence, the best scene in the whole movie with the best band in the whole world is great while you can't help yourself but jam to the song as well as the actors, the scene where Garth talks to the audience about an episode of the Twilight Zone... cool huh? This movie has reached great heights about sketch comedies. This blasts Blue Brothers out of the water, so do yourself a favor and check out this totally awesome video! It's Waynes world, party time, excellent!

Excellent!

Wayne's world will always be a classic in my book. I am so glad to see it on dvd. I just wish it had some Wayne's World clips from Saturday Night Live, commentary not just by the director, Penelope Spheeris, but by Mike Myers and Dana Carvey (I know Mike was busy with Austin Powers 3 and Dana with the master of disguise, so it makes sense), and some deleted scenes. The dvd isn't really lackluser, it has an excellent 20-minute documentary on the making of Wayne's World, literally interactive menues (I think they're the dvd menues i've ever seen!). I actually think that WW2 is slightly better, but this one is as good. Highlights for me include the parody of selling out-advertisements and the cable studio's "Wayne's World" song. I am most certainly going to put the complete epic dvd set on my christmas list.

A classic 90's comedy everyone should watch

One of the best SNL spin-off movies out there. If you haven't seen this or the sequel you're missing out on some classic American comedy. Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey at their finest

AGED

Wayne's World was funny in 1992, but now, not so much. The jokes and references are stale, and often redundant. What a shame. I thought this would be a timeless piece. I WASTED my money buying it, thinking that it would still be funny, but this has to be one of the most unfunny pieces of trash out there. DATED.

If You're Gonna Spew...

Now that I have you're attention! Out of all the "SNL" movies, only a few have passed the test on the big screen. I know that some people will argue with me on this point, but I'll give you an idea of some real stinkers..."It's Pat"- The three minute sketch that drove you nuts turned into a 90 minute movie. UGH! "The Coneheads"- The sketch wasn't that funny! Really, it wasn't. "Stuart Saves His Family"- Was I the only one who thought this was a waste of film and popcorn?Plus, I'm not even going to mention all the horrible movies that the stars of SNL have been part of...okay maybe just one..."Little Nicky".Anyway, "Wayne's World" is one of the rare movies that actually worked as a full-length feature movie.Maybe it's due to the fact that I actually have friends like Wayne & Garth, or maybe it's because Mike Myers is a genius, but I think this movie is fabulous.Yes, it's over-quoted...well I should say, it was over-quoted. You don't really hear guys saying "As if" or "Schwing" anymore...except my friends that I mentioned before, but it is just too funny watching these two guys being two guys. Plus all the references to other movies and TV shows are wonderful.Let us not forget...ALICE COOPER!!!!!!!If you've never experienced "Wayne's World", check it out. You never know, it could be the best movie that you've ever seen. Yeah, right! And monkeys might fly out of...

It`s Wayne`s world Wayne`s world party time around the world

This movie is mostly for teenagers. I am ten and I saw it and at first, before I saw it I couldn`t wait to see it, but when I saw it, it was sort of a bummer beacuse it wasn`t how I thoght it would be. It was fuuny too, though. Most teenaged boys will get a kick out of it. My cousin did. He thought it wa sso fuuny. Er it`s ok, I guess.

Very Funny, Good acting

This movie featured two of the best comedians. This was a SLN skit made into a movie, and what a success. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are one of the best pair in movies (after David Spade and Chris Farley and Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd). This is one of the funniest movies alive, and well-worth watching. Rob Lowe makes a funny bad guy and Tia (I won't try to spell her last name) is very nice to watch. The acting is superb!

From cable access to the big leagues!

"Wayne's World," based on the Saturday Night Live skit of the same name, is the quintessential hilarious party movie. Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey), in addition to narrating the movie, host their own cable access television show that they film in their basement. The plot, which never gets in the way of the multitude of jokes, thickens when a sleazy TV programming director named Benjamin Kane (Rob Lowe) offers Wayne and Garth a huge contract for Wayne's World to be taped on big-network TV. Problem is, Wayne and Garth are not aware until much later of various stipulations in this contract that ultimately hamper their show. Besides, the slick Benjamin becomes Wayne's rival for the affections of Cassandra (Tia Carrere), the electric bassist/lead singer for a rock band known as Crucial Taunt. (If you haven't yet seen this movie, please DO NOT read any further.)Highlights: The original ending of this movie does not appeal to Wayne or Garth, so they provide their own "Scooby Doo" ending. On the opening Wayne's World show, Garth becomes a victim of the Suck Cut. Wayne, Garth, and their few cronies go cruising in their "mirthmobile" to the accompaniment of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"; later, they pull up next to a Rolls Royce and ask for some Grey Poupon. Garth takes a fantastic drum solo at a music store. Wayne's ex-girlfriend Stacy (Lara Flynn Boyle) rides past Wayne and Garth on her bicycle during their game of street hockey, but she doesn't pay attention to where she's going and rams into a parked car. When they arrive in Milwaukee, Wayne and Garth pose as Laverne and Shirley. As Benjamin discusses with Wayne and Garth the idea of giving their sponsor, video arcade owner Noah Vanderhoff (Brian Doyle-Murray), a weekly spot on their show, Wayne and Garth make abrupt segues into commercial advertising. When Wayne and Garth visit Alice Cooper backstage following his concert, Cooper unexpectedly gives them a history lesson. When Garth sees his "dream woman" (Donna Dixon) at the donut shop, Tchaikovsky's famous "Romeo and Juliet" Overture can be heard, after which the camera zooms in on Garth and bangs him on the head! As Wayne watches Cassandra perform with Crucial Taunt, he is smitten by her as "Dream Weaver" accompanies his bliss. Wayne humiliates Vanderhoff by writing some hilarious statements on the back of some index cards and showing them to the television audience. And finally, Wayne and Garth poke fun at the state of Delaware, where I am originally from."Wayne's World" was released in 1992, the year I graduated from high school. I didn't see the film when it was first released to the theaters, but I did obtain a copy of it on videotape that summer. At the end of the film, Garth declares, "I just hope you didn't think it sucked," and I certainly didn't. "Wayne's World" provides many great laughs throughout, and it is just as funny today as it was back in 1992.

exsqueese me, baking powder

saw it, loved it. critics gave it bad reviews but they were wrong, boy were they wrong. i have memorized the entire movie, no joke. let me put it straight out, it is a funny movie, a really funny movie. it is actually something that i can relate to because i used to do this stuff all the time, you know. like, using that famous phrase, "pardon me, do you have any grey poupon?" which was also probably the best part of the movie.i mean don't get me wrong, there are stupid parts in it, but that is what makes the movie so enjoyable, it was meant to be stupid, which is the beauty part of it. this is the perfect movie to rent or buy, and have a get together with your friends for movie night. this is a classic comedy like cheech and chong's up in smoke. party on wanye, party on garth. it's wayne's world! wayne's world! party time! excellent!

Best Movie Ever

This Movie is my religion...literally. This is my favorite movie ever. I think Mike Myers and Dana Carvey make the est comedic duo ever. It also had great music i n it as well. The Alice Cooper scene was sheer brilliance just because Mike Myers "Does This Guy Know How to Party or What!" line was perfectly timed. Dana Carvey was so funny i n this movie. It just had me laughing forever. I watch that movie routinely each night. Its that brilliant. I seriously recommend this movie to anyone from 4 and up. Its not to dirty. This is Mike Myers Best role. Dana Carvey is a great drummer as well. I think it deserved an Oscar. It was way better than the sequel. In My opinion. If you haven't seen it go see it...now. It was great

It`s party time!!!

This film was inspired from the TV series, and they did a great job in making a movie of it. Mike Myers and Dana Carvy make a great comedy Duo. they have the task of saving their TV show from the money hungry Benjamin.Wayne meets the girl of his dreams in the shape of Tia Carrere, What a HOT babe!!!.Cameo from Alice Cooper, did a great job, better than the sequel. I give it a 6 and a half out of 10.

PARTY ON!!!!!!!!!!

THIS MOVIE RULES!!!! THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE MOVIES. I SAW THIS MOVIE IN THE THEATER WHEN I WAS IN GRADE 9, THIS MOVIE MADE ME LAUGH UNTIL IT HURT. TO THIS DAY I STILL THINK IT IS MOST EXCELLENT. SO PARTY ON LIKE WAYNE & GARTH.

Always a Classic

"Wayne's World" will always be a classic - I never get tired of it! Dana Carvey and Mike Myers make this movie better than ever with their always-funny characters Wayne and Garth. They're 2 characters that are totally original and absolutely hilarious - the storyline is clever and I guarantee it will generate plenty of laughs. I am a Dana Carvey fan myself, his comedy is great, and believe me this movie won't let you down!

Wayne's World: A Classic to America's Youth

WAYNE'S WORLD has evolved to classic status among the youth of America. Wayne (MIKE MYERS) and Garth (DANA CARVEY) are the heroes that carry this film to greatness. WAYNE'S WORLD is a film that will always be remembered. If one was to make a time capsule in the early 1990s, WAYNE's WORLD would most definitely be included. The style, music, and expressions of WAYNE'S WORLD represent the youth of the early 90s, that are still looked up to, by the youth of today.WAYNE'S WORLD is the story of two men, Wayne and Garth, who appear to be in their twenties, and their public access TV show, entitled Wayne's World. Their show includes heavy metal, sexy girls, crude humor, and language and phrases such as, "party on" and "rock out," characteristic of the early 90s youth. Although the typical teenager of the early 90s may not have modeled his/her behavior directly from the characters of WAYNE'S WORLD, WAYNE'S WORLD has significantly influenced many teenagers' attitudes, expressions, and perception of what it means to be "cool." WAYNE'S WORLD is unique on several fronts. For one, the director, PENELOPE SPHEERIS and writer, MIKE MEYERS use many innovative techniques to express the plot and tell the story. Wayne and Garth walk of screen or under tables on several occasions to whisper to the camera and the viewer, what they are thinking or something that they wish to expose to the viewer but not other characters. This filming technique enhances the viewers connection and appreciation for the characters. It allows for viewers to become more involved in the film and its characters and enter "Wayne's World" for the 95 minutes of this film.WAYNE'S WORLD, despite what rating it gets on IMDb or from other critics, will always remain a classic among teenagers. Wayne and Garth are the admiral heroes who refused to sell out and be induced by the pressures of the real business and marketing world. Instead they created Wayne's World, where teenagers, partying and heavy metal reign supreme. WAYNE'S WORLD will be remembered as the story of two losers who succeed, and make the big time, without selling out their ideas, and original inspiration. As every genre and generation has its classics to relate other films to, WAYNE'S WORLD is a classic among the youth of America.

Awful... Not

Based on the popular "Saturday Night Live" sketch, 1991's "Wayne's World" is the funniest movie I've ever seen. I don't remember going longer than 20 seconds without even smirking. The "Bohemian Rhapsody" sequence is worth the price of the film alone, but it's an altogether hilarious effort.

Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers in his breakthrough film role) and Garth (Dana Carvey) host their own cabel access show in Aurora, Illinois. One night, a sleazy tv exec Benjamin (Rob Lowe) catches their show and gets video arcade honcho Noah Vanderhoff (Brian Doyle Murray) to sponsor it. Wayne and Garth agree to sign the contracts and broadcast the show nationally. They indeed reap the pleasures of fame - baxkstage passes to meet Alice Cooper, $5, 000, 000 plus Wayne winning the affections of robobabe Cassandra (Tia Carrerre). But soon, things go awry. Wayne loses Garth and Cassandra, and his show's cancelled. What could possibly make it worse? Find out in this hilarious comedy romp.

This has proved to be the only good movie based on an "SNL" sketch. It's sad to se that so much of Dana Carvey's talent is in this film, because it's a shame that all of his subsequent efforts tanked ("Master Of Disguise", anyone?). The extras included trailer and a nice documnetary.

Man oh man, wasn't this a snooze.

I'm sure there are many here who are filled with glee at the prospect of seeing a movie based on a "Saturday Night Live" skit featuring injection with Queen's classic "Bohemian Rhapsody".I'm not one of them. For one thing, I have had it up to =HERE= with "Bohemian Rhapsody". It was funny the very first time I heard it (back when it was brand new), and proceeded to be funny the next few GAZILLION times I've had it piped into my ears from various situations around me, but I simply don't laugh at it any more--it annoys me. Plus, "Saturday Night Live" is a show that, in my opinion, should be called "The Show-Nobody-Thinks-Is-Funny Show" (as "TV Guide" suggested back when this movie was released).First of all, the skit always struck me as a lame "Bill and Ted" ripp-off. And I didn't see this movie until a friend invited me over in 1993 and showed it to me. Oh well, at least I didn't have to pay to see it if nothing else.And maaaaaan, was this movie ever a snooze. It was easily the most unfunny movie I have seen in years to the point of nearly (and I mean literally) putting me to sleep.Snore.Out of the whole bit, there was only one quick routine that genuinely made me laugh: a scene which involved a girl suddenly stepping on to the screen while announcing in an exaggerated tone, "Hi, Wayne! I'm pregnant! That's why I've been so moody!"Other than that... well, hey, what can I say? The "Bill and Ted" movies, both of which I avoided in the theatres out of fear of them being this bad but both loved by me when I later saw them on home video, knock this one black and blue. Or let me put it another way: "Wayne's World" is the sort of film that I was originally afraid the "Bill and Ted" movies would be but weren't.Go for "Bill and Ted"! Heck, I still see a lot of enthusiasm for them these days and lots of jokes inspired by them in today's pop culture... in sharp contrast, who pays attention to "Wayne's World" anymore?And no, I will NOT make any sort of attempt at watching "Wayne's World 2". Not on your life.

Marriage is punishment for shoplifting in some countries

Party on, Wayne and Party on Garth!

Wayne's World stars Mike Myers (Wayne) and Dana Cavey (Garth) in a movie that's about the good people out there----NOT! Wayne and Garth do their show from Wayne's basement.
An evil TV producer (Rob Lowe) steals the show from Wayne and Wayne must get it back!
What a totally excellent movie!

Sends us the right message regarding comedy!

This comedy is definitely hilarious. I'll admit, it's a bit unconventional, but I think that's what makes it such a successful comedy. It remains in pure comical status from beginning to end. This is apparent in the choice of having three endings at the close of the movie. It seems that in doing this, the movie was almost reassuring me that I don't have to actually FEEL for any of the characters. I can just finish the movie thinking, "Wow, this was funny," and nothing more. I actually liked knowing that for once it would be acceptable for me to just laugh at a movie without taking it seriously as so many people often do. I don't think comedies are always meant to make perfect sense, and laughter is always more important than the idea of everything fitting together in the end.I also love how this movie is made so that the audience gets to see what is going on from the beginning and we are allowed to know that Wayne and Garth are obviously being manipulated by their producer, but they don't completely realize it themselves.Also this movie shows us that two nerdy grunge guys can in fact get chicks and I guess that's a good thing, right? LOL!
