Wayne's World

          You've just entered Wayne's World! A comedy based on the popular Saturday Night Live skit. Starring Mike Myers (Shrek and Austin Powers), Dana Carvey, Rob Lowe (St. Elmo's Fire and Oxford Blues), and Tia Carrere (Lilo & Stitch and Relic Hunter). Featuring a special appearance by Alice Cooper. This is one of my favorite '90s comedies of all-time.
   Heavy metal fanatic, Wayne Campbell (Myers) and his pal, Garth Algar (Carvey), host a late-night public access TV show called "Wayne's World" in a small neighborhood in the Chicago area. The show had caught the attention of handsome, street-smart advertising man, Ben Oliver (Lowe) who wants to put "Wayne's World" on his major TV network. Wayne and Garth accept the offer and hit the high life. Meanwhile, Wayne meets a beautiful singer named Cassandra (Carrere) and falls in love with her instantly. But if their show fails, Ben would have to take Cassandra away from Wayne. Watch to see if the two rock and rollers can beat this street rat from taking away Wayne's love.

I've always loved this movie. I loved every second of it when I first watched it back in 2015, which was a hard year for me. At that time, SNL was celebrating its 40th anniversary, so that was an appropriate time to watch Wayne's World. The Bohemian Rhapsody scene in the beginning is iconic in any comedy movie. I mean, most of the movie's fans emulate that scene. And the way Wayne and Garth talk to us, breaking the fourth wall, it's as if we're in the movie with them. (Just like in any other movie that breaks the fourth wall.) Oh yeah, you gotta love Garth's Foxy Lady dance. Hilarious! If you're a Saturday Night Live junkie or a junkie for great comedies, give this one a watch. 

Parent's Guide: This movie is rated PG-13. I wouldn't recommend this to kids due to the fact that it has a lot of innuendo. And there's some language, in fact, there was a scene where Garth talks so explicit, his voice gets drowned out by a loud noise and when he finished his rant, Wayne responds "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth!?". So, basically, not a kids movie.

Did You Know?: The movie was shot in 34 days. While filming the "Bohemian Rhapsody" sequence, both Mike Myers and Dana Carvey developed severe pain in their necks from all the head banging. There are scenes later in the movie where it becomes apparent they are trying to move their necks as little as possible. The episode of "Twilight Zone" that Garth described to the viewer doesn't exist. Wayne opening a door which shows spies training which Wayne says "I just always wanted to open a door to a room where people are being trained like in James Bond movies" foreshadows Mike Myer's spy spoof "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" which is a parody of the James Bond films.
