It's snickering, silly and, at times, downright demented (Bugs Bunny in a dress?), but that's why it works.

Top CriticA classic comedy of its time.
05/06/08
Top CriticHilariously endearing.
06/12/04
Much of the credit for the film's success lies with Spheeris, whose confident if rough-edged direction keeps it on track and cooking.
06/24/06
Top Criticrepresented more than a slacker voice for a generation. It was a cultural phenomenon

A bit dated these days, but still worth a schwing.

Myers and Carvey cut it up on the rare Saturday Night Live skit that shines on the silver screen.

Very silly but enjoyable.

Like the Bill & Ted movies, this one works on its intended level and then sneaks in excursions to some other levels, too.

Top CriticFilme engraçado e jovial, faz críticas sociais em piadas hilárias que funcionam muito bem. Carvey é especialmente engraçado, mas Myers também se destaca em várias cenas.

Though it appears to be a brain-dead comedy, it at least has a little something to say about American suburbia in the 1990s -- a specialty of director Penelope Spheeris.
06/20/08
Wears out its welcome after awhile and is never quite as funny as it thinks it is.

This one was mildly clever and amusing. The sequel was utter crap. Tia Carerre is immaculate.

The trick with Wayne's World that seems to cross age and gender in terms of enjoyment is that the characters are endearing.
