Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
'Wayne's World' is a nice and sometimes funny movie that finds its charm in
Mike Myers, although he is a lot funnier in his 'Austin Powers'. The story
is about two rather strange guys named Wayne (Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey)
who have their own television show, filmed in their basement. A big producer
(Row Lowe) wants the show for national television. Of course he seems nice
but is not. The story also involves a girl named Cassandra (Tia Carrere).
Wayne falls in love with her, and of course the big producer shows up in
that area as well.
Like I said the movie is sometimes funny. With a comedy that is what we
expect, but in my opinion it is not as funny as it could have been. There
are some nice touches. There is talking to the camera, and Wayne and Garth
are the only people who are allowed to do so. They even comment on that
fact. Of course Myers is a fine comedian and that makes sure we have other
laughs as well. The characters Wayne and Garth are funny enough to make us
smile during the movie and in the end I even thought the movie had a certain
sweetness. Again, it is not as funny as the 'Austin Powers'-movies but it
has the same Mike Myers energy.
