Reviews Counted:45

Rotten:7

Average Rating:6.8/10

Consensus: An oddball comedy that revels in its silliness and memorable catch phrases, Wayne's World is also fondly regarded because of its endearing characters.

Runtime: 1 hr 35 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Wayne and Garth, the horny, heavy metal-loving teenage heroes of the popular "Saturday Night Live" skit, hit the big screen. They're still doing their cable-access show out of the Wayne's basement... Wayne and Garth, the horny, heavy metal-loving teenage heroes of the popular "Saturday Night Live" skit, hit the big screen. They're still doing their cable-access show out of the Wayne's basement in Aurora, Illinois; only now a sleazy TV executive named Benjamin Oliver wants a piece of the action. As the babe 'n' band obsessed adolescents negotiate the shark-infested waters of network television, Wayne finds 'amore' in the form of a heavy metal femme fatale with a penchant for skin-tight costumes. But can Wayne keep his new lady love out Oliver's unsavory clutches? [More]

Wears out its welcome after awhile and is never quite as funny as it thinks it is.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll drive home. As Wayne or Garth would say, it's schweeeet.

Even at 95 minutes the film is often too slow and just not rewarding enough.

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

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