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:
I wouldn't commit just yet. You've got some real gigs coming up--REAL GIGS!!! 
2008-08-20 - Wayne's World 2 was released in the magical year of 1993. Yes, the very same year that gave us the emergence of the Dogg, Sonic 2 and the legendary Death Ring. This film obviously is the sequel to the wildly successful original. The first film was a huge commercial success, and it gave us the famous Bohemian Raphsody scene, but not much else. Wayne's World 2 is a much better, and infinitely funnier film. We will not argue about this. The difference might be as simple as Garth not being a complete tool in the sequel. Also, the first film was made on the strength of the wonderful SNL skits. But, the sequel was more like the skits than the original, based mostly on Wayne and Garth doing Wayne and Garth things. Those things, in the sequel, are among the funniest in Sid's comedy collection.
The plot of Wayne's World 2 is a very simple one. Wayne is visited in a dream by Jim Morrison and is told to put on a concert in Aurora. Casandra is still Wayne's girl, looking a good 50 times hotter than she did in the original, where she still kind of had a Chinee takeout counter girl look to her. Because of Casandra's significant upgrade in smokin hottness, Wayne's got some compitition. Wayne has to compete with the one and only Christopher Walken. Walken plays the part of a cocky calculating record exec from Casandra's label to perfection. So Wayne not only has to battle Walken for his woman, he also has to put on a killer rock show in Aroura. Sprinkle in at least a laugh per scene, and that's your flick. A comedy classic.
We, Sid the Elf, would be doing ourselves and the film a great disservice if we did not cover the highlights of Wayne's World 2. We loved this movie growing up, and we still love it today, maybe even more. First, there's the classic Stan Mikita's drive-thru scene where Wayne messes with the poor sap working at Mikita's by dropping sylables from words in his order, but the guy gets it anyway. Just classic. If you haven't tried this at least once, you're missing out just trust us. Every scene with Walken is perfect. In fact, it could be argued that he makes the movie, including the line we used for the title, and allowing us to perfect a dead-on Walken impression. Then, there's Del Preston, the guy who helps the fellas put on the show. The best scene in the movie possibly belongs to him when Wayne and Garth find him sleeping hanging upside down in his apartment. His "That's my old lady," line has been a staple of Sid's for years now. There was also a small apperance by Chris Farley probably just acting naturally. Also, Jeff Wong was brilliant. He apparently has given up being an evil General in the Vietnimese army from Missing in Actionto just be Casandra's concerned father here. He contributes the hilarious fight scene between himself and Wayne.
To be honest, Wayne's World 2 has too many great moments to go through them all. It is a much funnier movie than the original, and it is in the Sid the Elf pantheon of comedies. We even made it a part of our legendary Bahamas trip, watching it the night before we left. This caused us to spout roughly 35,000 "What?" from the drive-thru scene and send a fat life into an irreversible downward spiral. This film is deeply woven into the iegend of Sid the Elf, so you know it's wonderful. If you see this movie based on us and don't crack up at least 10 times, we'll give you a full refund of this review. Seriously, if you haven't seen Wayne's World 2, join me now. We guarantee you will say "thanks a pantload, Sid."
Hilarious sequel!
2007-12-22 - 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.
You want me to say what like I don't get it, is that it?
2007-07-14 - I have to say that this is one of my favorite comedy flicks of all time. I thought Waynes World 2 was much better then the original. What took this one up a notch was the characters played by Christopher Walken and Chris Farely. The combination of all these great actors coupled with a great premise makes this a must see.
A MUST SEE...OH YES! A MUST SEE 
2007-03-28 - 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.
Yawn.....are we having fun yet? 
2006-09-03 - I love Wayne's World. I love Wayne's World 2 more. NOT!!!!! This sequel is nowhere near as much fun as the original. "Fun" hardly makes an appearence in this flick. The jokes are weak; basically they just show us that they ran out of the good ones. It may be the change in directors, I don't know. All I know is this movie is not worth watching. It starts out like you would want a sequel to, and it stays that way.....for about 5 minutes. I turned it off about half way through. Thank God I only rented this one.
