Based on the
Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name,
Wayne's World is a wacky, irreverent pop-culture comedy about the adventures of two amiably aimless metal-head friends, Wayne (
Mike Myers) and Garth (
Dana Carvey). From Wayne's basement, the pair broadcast a talk-show called "Wayne's World" on local public access television. The show comes to the attention of a sleazy network executive (
Rob Lowe) who wants to produce a big-budget version of "Wayne's World"--and he also wants Wayne's girlfriend, a rock singer named Cassandra (
Tia Carrere). Wayne and Garth have to battle the executive not only to save their show, but also Cassandra. Director
Penelope Spheeris, Myers and Carvey hang a lot of silly, but funny, jokes on this thin plot, and the energy of the cast--as well as the wild pop-culture references--make
Wayne's World a cut above the average
Saturday Night Live spin-off movie.
