Description of Wayne's World 2:
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. --Marshall Fine
Wayne's World 2 Reviews:
"We're Not Worthy". 
2009-08-13 - The follow up to the hugely successful first film. This time around Wayne is visited by the spirit of Jim Morrison, in a dream, and then realizes his purpose, he must put on a rock concert in Aurora Illinois, called Waynestock. The laughs ensue from that premise. Christopher Walken is quite good as the sleezy producer/ agent of Wayne's girlfiend, played by Tia Carrere. Eventually, Aerosmith saves the day by appearing at the concert event.
For Those Who Think Young
2009-07-06 - What is it about us males that keeps us from completely maturing? We never stop enjoying the Three Stooges; sex jokes; passing gas; and the wonderful gags featured in Wayne's World. Jeff Daniels once said that Dumb And Dumber was designed for 15-year-old boys. This movie is close.
Wayne and Garth are recently moved into their own homes, still recently out of high school, rubbernecking whenever hotties walk by, maintaining the kind of intensely close friendship that you see among teen-age guys. However, it's time to grow up. Wayne gets this from Jim Morrison while Garth's messenger is Kim Basinger. Like the original, this terrific sequel keeps the clever laughs coming in a variety of ways: parodies of famous movies, cameo appearances by stars that will surprise you, hilarious dialogue, even looks back at our pop culture. There's a tribute to 70s Chinese martial arts movies that should have you roaring. That two mature men (well, physically anyway, remember?) like Myers and Carvey can very believably come off as kids just out of high school is impressive, and that this sequel can come so close to duplicating the quality of the original is equally so.
Enjoy it--unless you've decided to grow up...
Better Than The Original 
2009-06-23 - Yeah, it's a stupid movie but I did get some big laughs out of this in a few spots. Admittedly, I watched this twice, probably to ogle Kim Bassinger one more time. I also thought this "sequel" was better than the first Wayne's World movie anyway. From what I see here, most people agree with that.
I did not appreciate showing a minister blaspheming. That's Hollywood for you. Without the extreme irreverence in here, I might have held onto this DVD ust to have something stupid to laugh at once every few years....and to laugh especially at that scene when Dana Carvey meets Bassinger in the laundromat .
2 stars out of 4
2009-02-01 - The Bottom Line:
Wayne's World 2 is so slight that I couldn't bring myself to really hate it, but it has none of the wit or humor of the original, and thus feels overlong and unnecessary.
You mean you don't own this movie?
2009-01-15 - I've always loved good comedy, and I think both Wayne's World movies rank as true classics of the 1990's. If you haven't seen these movies yet you really should. It's one of the last SNL based movies that were still really well made and funny to watch.
