Wayne's World is nowhere near as funny as it thinks it is and is a classic example of why expanding a short skit into a full length movie is bad idea.

Mike Myers is great in the lead role and the writing is also very strong, as are, admittedly, very many catch phrases that have had a life beyond the movie and that really speaks to the writing here. The story is also interesting to some degree, but is entirely cliche, unlikely, and done before. The acting beyond Myers is also poor, especially Dana Carvey. I think his mannerisms here were supposed to be funny, but...they just never were. As a whole, it seems like they took a skit from SNL and made it into a movie (which they did do) without adding any additional funny jokes (there were plenty of other jokes but they just were not even close to being funny). This one is not dreadful because it does hold your interest and, as I said, Myers is very good here, however, I do wish it was funnier and lived up to the hype. Expand

I really couldn't see the point of this film, and how some people regard it as a classic. I do agree that some parts were laughable like when Myer's character out of no where sponsors products intentionally for laughs at the camera or Myer'sI really couldn't see the point of this film, and how some people regard it as a classic. I do agree that some parts were laughable like when Myer's character out of no where sponsors products intentionally for laughs at the camera or Myer's character's recurring ex-girlfriend sub plot. But there wasn't really any wit or intelligence to this movie, nor any consistency to the plot. Granted the film knows what it is, it is a stupid comedy making fun of people acting stupid. I might have to give this one a second viewing, but I came away from this one disappointed by the abrupt ending and how little I cared about the characters. 6/10 Expand

This mega-hit is over-rated as hell and plenty stoopid, but there is still much going on that you can't help but laught over it.

Pretty solid comedy. It has just enough eccentricity to make it stand out and be entertaining. It’s just not good enough to warrant anything above a 6.
