Wayne's World Reviews
I have to admit this movie sort of grew on me.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 27, 2023
Wayne’s World is amazing, watch it if you haven’t seen it yet
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 10, 2022
successfully expands the world created by the SNL skits, following the logic of the characters, but taking them out of the basement and giving them more depth and nuance without losing the traits that fans already loved
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 14, 2022
What struck me in now is that it eschews the plot, and going off into flights of comic fancy including re-doing the ending a couple times until theyre satisfied. The result is still funny, still EXCELLENT and SCHWING! Two on-air reviews in one link!

Its a strange but delightful mix of timeliness, timelessness, and cultural specificity of the wrong time (30th anniversary)
| Original Score: A- | Feb 18, 2022
...Wayne's World is one of the few SNL success stories.

A ridiculously meta film, which, on paper, shouldnt work at all, it continues to garner genuine laughs even 30 years later. Some of them you had to be there for, but well get into that.

There was an odd tendency in the early-to-mid-1990s to produce ample movies and television shows that celebrated stupidity and condemned intelligence, and Wayne's World belongs to this group.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 4, 2022
For those who remember and loved Wayne's World doing its heyday, this is a nostalgic stroll down memory lane when they were also in their heyday.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 31, 2022
The film still has its priceless moments, however, the best of which comes from Wayne and his pals driving around town while singing along to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

Lots of tasteless jokes, and no need to pay attention -- if you miss a punch line, don't worry. It will be back again in 10 minutes or so.

To give credit, there are isolated moments of hilarity here -- individual lines that suggest an insouciant wit or a sight gag, usually involving Carvey's befuddled Garth that triggers explosive laughter. But those moments are few and far between.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 11, 2021
Wayne's World is a sociological dissertation on the post-adolescent, pre-existential, psychodynamic polemics of popular culture. Not. Wayne's World is a ton of fun for people who are younger than 30 or who think they are.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 11, 2021
For die-hard fans only.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 11, 2021
Amazingly, the patched-together and padded screen version manages to amuse, if only through the sheer brazenness of its stupidity.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 11, 2021
Have no fear, dudes, the off-the-wall combination of metallic slapstick and Mad magazinish satire has been sustained to the max.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 11, 2021
Party on, Wayne and Garth, and welcome to the movies.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 11, 2021
Wayne's World is at its funniest when it steers away from the plot and into sheer irreverence.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 11, 2021
Director Penelope Spheeris, often linked with hardcore rock for her documentaries The Decline of Western Civilization and its sequel, keeps things light and quirky with Wayne's World.

Sure, it's dumb and juvenile. But just try to keep a straight face as our suburban cadets lip-sync to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 11, 2021
