Like most SNL skits, they are nearly impossible to turn into a credible movie, let alone a film franchise. A Night at the Roxbury (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/dvd's-blu-rays/a-night-at-the-roxbury-(1998)/msg11476/#msg11476) anyone? Exactly. Wayne's World really doesn't expand beyond that skit mentality as it's basically 90 minutes of skits tied together to make a movie. The thing is, it's actually one of the better films relying on the lovable characters known as Wayne (Mike Meyers) and Garth (Dana Carvey) to give us a plausible story, as thin as it may be. If you like the skits and / or the actors, you are bound to enjoy this one...that is if you don't take it serious. And why would you? It's from SNL.
The jokes, as cheesy as they may be, still works for me. But it's the 'bad' jokes that Wayne and Garth laugh at after telling them that always has me grinning from ear to ear. At least they were in on the joke when they said it. Literally. Definitely worth a Rent. Rob Lowe and Tia Carrere also co-star. Keep an eye out for a cameos by Chris Farley, Robert Patrick and Alice Cooper.
Be sure to check out the bonus stuff on the DVD, namely Extreme Close-up which has the key players (Mike, Dana and Rob) along with Director Penelope Spheeris reminiscing about what it was like to work on the movie. Some really great behind the scenes stories. I enjoyed this look-back a lot.
