Movie Reviews of Wayne's World 2
Movie Review: Not as good as the first but still hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was getting ready to watch this movie I was saying to myself "there is no way it will be as good as the first" I was right. While this movie was still very funny, it just wasn't as fall down funny as the original. The problem was this one focused too much on a completely diffrent plot rather than the actual show. They only show footage of Wayne And Garth doing the show I think twice in the movie. This one has more of a "plot" than the 1st. Which kind of ruins the Wayne's World fun that they brought to the 1st.In Wayne's World 2, Wayne is now out of his parents house and into his own appartment and he is living his dream: doing Wayne's World for a living. The movie starts off hilarious with a Batman spoof and Wayne and Garth attending an Aerosmith concert.
That same night, Wayne is visited in a dream by Jim Morrison of The Doors who tells him he must put on a rock concert in Chicago called Waynestock (Woodstock). And he must travel to England or something to find an old rock star to help him out.
But Wayne then makes this already challenging task into something even more hard by telling a record producer all of these great bands that are going to be there off the top of his head to impress his girlfriend, Cassandra. He then wins over her attention from her producer (who Cassandra is actually interested in throughout the movie) but realizes that doing what he says will be next to impossible. So now he has to deal with setting up an almost impossible concert while still trying to keep his relationship going with Cassandra.
This movie did have some hilarious moments such as the japanese fight scene between Wayne and Cassandra's father where their voices are dubbed in English just like an old japanese movie. And of course some more of the random things popping up as in the 1st save this movie from being completely bad. But still this movie will never be as good or funny as the original Wayne's World. Still worth the buy though
"Wayne's World 2" runs for about 90 minutes. It is rated PG-13 for language, sexual humor, and some cartoonish violence.
Movie Review: "I had to beat them to death with their own shoes"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is more great comedy from the minds of the cast members of Saturday Night Live. Dana Carvey and Mike Myers are among my favorites, so Wayne's World has always been a favorite of mine.
In their ode to die-hard 80s hair band fans, Wayne and his faithful sidekick, Garth, set out on another adventure. This time around, Wayne begins to question his mortal purpose. He is soon visited in a dream by a naked indian man who leads him through the desert sands to Jim Morrison. Morrison tells him that the purpose of his life is to put on a concert.
Of course, there are obstacles... Namely, Bobby (played by Christopher Walken), the smooth-talking and suave record producer in charge of managing Cassandra's (Wayne's girlfriend) budding music career.
Garth has issues of his own, though. He has just "gotten his first pubes", so he is eager to become familiarized with the ways of the woman. A snake of a woman, played by Kim Basinger attempts to take advantage of his innocence and loyal nature. The scenes Dana Carvey shares with Basinger are hilarious.
This is just a funny and ridiculous movie. With a good cast of actors, the story leads from one funny scene to the next. Carvey and Myers are great together...
Highly recommended for fans of SNL comedy.
Movie Review: Hilarious sequel!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wayne Campbell (Mike Meyers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) are back! this time, a strange dream featuring Jim Morrison and a half-naked Indian man tells Wayne that he must organize a special rock concert that could be very successful, Cassandra (Tia Carrere) whom you remember as Wayne's sweetheart is dating a sleazy record producer (Christopher Walken) and is engaged to him, but can Wayne benifit the concert and stop Cassandra's wedding from happening? can Garth still trust his new girlfriend Hone Hornee (Kim Basinger)? and can Wayne stop having weird visions of Morrison and the half-naked Indian man?
Funny and exciting sequel that packs some of the charming punch that the original cult classic had! The film has appearences by James Wong, Aerosmith, Rip Taylor, Jay Leno, Drew Barrymore, Harry Sherar, Chris Farley, Heather Locklear, Ed O'Neil and Charlton Heston. This is a non-stop laughfeast with various spoofs to such movies like "Jurassic Park", "The Graduate", "Thelma and Louise" and more! the soundtrack is quite excellent and has suprises abound just like the original movie.
This DVD contains good picture and sound with the only extras being an audio commentary from the director and cast & crew interviews.
Movie Review: Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, Chris Farley...what more do you need!? !
Summary: 5 Stars
Seriously, this is one of my all time favorite movies. I 100% agree with "a kids review" ..but I knew I would love this movie before I even saw it! It is surprisingly great for a sequel, that is exactly what I thought as well! It has the same characters, their same mannerisms, but the story takes a different turn this time, not focusing as much on "Wayne's World" the show, but as Wayne puts together Waynestock.
Chris Farley is hilarious as usual, and during tryouts for the crew for Waynestock, there is a hilarious scene where Chris gets pelted by tennis balls after not being able to keep up with the fast moving balls he is supposed to go after! HILARIOUS!
I love that Wayne is helped out by his dream and "Jim Morrison" ..very funny!
Bottom line, if you are reading this page, you obviously have some interest in Wayne's World, so if you have seen the first one and loved it, you probably will love the second one as well! I hold both in high regard, I think they are both hilarious in different ways, and if I had to choose, I prefer the second movie over the first, because the characters are established, and it is a perfect idea for Wayne to put on a concert! Great great movie!! :)
Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Somewhere in the world, there are probably people who don't understand why Mike Myers's character, Wayne Campbell, is funny--which is too bad. Granted, the laughs are often cheap and silly, but there's no one who can embody a comic character and riff within that character the way Myers does. Wayne and his pal Garth (Dana Carvey) were fixtures on Saturday Night Live before the unexpected success of Wayne's World, which is about what happened when they tried to take their local cable-access show citywide. This time, they want to stage Waynestock, a mammoth rock festival in their little Chicago suburb, even as Wayne copes with girlfriend Tia Carrere's interest in record-company exec Christopher Walken. For extra fun, Garth gets involved with the babelicious Kim Basinger. Yes, the humor is scattershot and the plot is lame--but you'll find yourself laughing nonetheless.
