Summary: 4 Stars
Wayne's World 2, starring Mike Myers as Wayne and Dana Carvey as Garth is the short awaited sequal to the smash hit of 1992.
Wayne and Garth have moved out of the parents basement and now have their own place across town, still doing their low budget local access TV show and still worshipping every rock musician out there. Wayne and his girlfriend Cassandra, from the first movie are still an item only now she has a manager trying to help her get her career started.
This time Wayne has been sent a message from the spirt of Jim Morrison, of the Doors who tells Wayne he must put on a concert in Aurora and find the meaning of his life. Wayne takes the message very seriously and even flies to London, England to find Del Preston who used to be friends with Jim way back when. Now our duo must deal with putting on their TV show, raising enough money for a permit to hold the show Wayne titles "Waynstock" and deal with Cassandra being taken away from him by her manager. Not to mention Wayne has to prove himself worthy with Cassandra's father and Garth has a close encounter with a beautiful woman, Honey Hornee' (Kim Bassinger) who takes an instant liking to him but may be up to more then just a one night stand.
Overall the movie is on par with the first one. All the funny one liners and sight gags and situations fly by us with the same familiarity that the first gave us. We jump right back into the universe we left a year ago and it's like we never left it. A classic mock Kung Fu fight between Wayne and Cassandra's father with dubbed English while they talk is a priceless moment. As well as Wayne, Garth and two friends dressed up in outfits that the Village People music group wore spying on Cassandra and her manager only to be spotted by them and having to perform as said group in a Male only bar.
The only thing holding this movie back is that it seems too familiar, like we did this all before. There is enough original in this to make you forget the first but too much was taken from the first to make it more like a differnet version of the same. It still holds it own though quite well. Many more stars this time around play bit parts like for instance Drew Barrymore, Jay Leno, Heather Locklear, Metalica and Rip Taylor having parts that are just randomly thrusted upon us. Some play themselves while others playing differnet parts. Of course we can't forget the late and great Chris Farley who I must admit seemed a bit out of place in the part they gave him, but always cool to see him any time.
While some of the jokes were recycled from the first movie, Ie) the alternate ending and the new guy stealing Wayne's girlfriend from him while Wayne gets jealous all the while.. there are some great new gags. I loved the moment towards the end when Wayne stops at a gas station for directions and some bad old actor is giving Wayne some sad story about the street he is looking for only for Wayne to say he wants a better actor for this part and they suddenly change the actor before our eyes to someone better. Some new jokes didn't work like Wayne and Garth being lifted on their backs at the concert they are at and after they are placed down a lot of weird items are being sent in the same mannor to the security guards. That was probably one of those better on paper then it actually turned out to be moments that should have been left on the drawing board. It is also a bit dated, jokes that were funny in 1993 may seem a little silly now. For instance the Jurrasic Park moment but that's to be expected in these type of comedies. Usually popular pop culture of the time will be spoofed and if anything it brings back fun memories of yesteryear.
Overall if you enjoyed the first film, there is no reason not to get this one. It has all the same actors we loved, even a cameo from Ed O'Neil reprising his Glen role from the first. It may not have the same originality and charm the first did, but it is a welcome addition to any fan of a good comedy, follow up to a good film or something that the whole family can get a good laugh to.
The DVD has commentary from the director and about 20 minutes in little tidbits from the cast about moments in the film. More then worth it, especialy at the more then affordable price.
Check out the adventures of Wayne and Garth one last time as they put on the greatest concert in Aurora, IL history. You won't be sorry you did.
Movie Review: WAYNE'S WORLD 2
Summary: 4 Stars
WAYNE'S WORLD 2 is the sequel to WAYNE'S WORLD. You'll laugh again...You'll cry again...You'll Hurl Again! This time we follow the adventures of Wayne Campbell and his sidekick Garth Algar as they try to put on a rock concert (Waynestock) in there hometown. But it's not going to be an easy task, because Wayne's girlfriend Cassandra is falling for her sinister record producer and Garth is being seduced by the babe-a-licious Honey Hornee. If you are a fan of the first film, then this sequel will not dissapoint you. Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey keep the laughs comming as Wayne and Garth. Special appearnces by Aerosmith, Rip Taylor, and Drew Barrymore.Movie Review: A MUST SEE...OH YES! A MUST SEE
Summary: 4 Stars
Comedy writers agree you don't write a joke on a joke. Wayne's World 2
is an exception. The movie works because Wayne (Mike Myers)( and Garth
(Dana Carvey) are among the very few comic actors who get laughs every time the camera points there way. A more likeable comic duo you'll rarely see. They are unpretentious and honestly likeable--like bad little
kids who broke your window but turned it into a joke. So how can you get mad?
Ok, you can say the movie's dumb. It is pointless. It goes for cheap laughs. True.
But when did you ever get a full
belly laugh from stoic Charlton Heston?
I rest my case.
Movie Review: Waning World
Summary: 3 Stars
WAYNE'S WORLD 2 has some bright spots (i.e. the "Village People" segment in the gay bar) and has its funny digs on pop culture and movies of the day (i.e. THE DOORS & JURASSIC PARK), but somehow the energy level is not there from the first movie and Mike Myers seems bored with the character. There were some reports that Dana Carvey almost didn't make the sequel because his part (as Wayne Campbell's sidekick, Garth Algar) was limited and Myers had to do some rewrites to the script to appease him. Also, some of the plot is recycled from the first film. Cassandra (Tia Carrere) is being wooed by another executive-type slime ball coming between her and Wayne. In the first movie, Rob Lowe was brilliant as tv executive Benjamin. One could sense the comic timing underneath his low-key but evil persona. This time around,Christopher Walken plays a record producer (Bobby Cahn) almost in the same vain but there is no humor in his character at all. Walken's comic talents are wasted because he plays his character serious (too serious) in the WW2 to the point of being non-existent in a film which is supposed to be a comedy. Lastly, the sub-plot with Garth and love interest Honey Hornee (Carvey and Kim Basinger) seemed unneccessary (probably the result of Myers's writing appeasement to Carvey) even though Basinger was very hot in the film. Overall, the film is very unorganized and disjointed, the main plot device of Wayne trying to put on a pop festival (Waynestock) is not very inventive (the Del Preston character is stereotypical if not bizarre), the relationship triangle of Wayne, Cassandra and another executive-type was a retread from the first film, and many of the characters don't seem to be on the same page (even the presence of the late Chris Farley didn't add punch to the ensemble). The three stars is very generous. However, the "Village People" segment alone is hilarious enough to make the film somewhat worthwhile.
