Hollywood surely accepts the movie's message: laughter is the least expensive therapy. And audiences may happily parrot another Wayneism to Myers: 'He shoots! He scores!'
The movie has a pleasing daftness.
Director Penelope Spheeris, with her first major studio assignment (and eight-figure budget), delivers a colorful but uneventful picture.
Very silly but enjoyable.
The film tends to be funny when confining itself to short sketches or dopey television-based humor, flat when pretending to be anything more.
Like the Bill & Ted movies, this one works on its intended level and then sneaks in excursions to some other levels, too.
Incredibly lowbrow, but many teens will love it.
represented more than a slacker voice for a generation. It was a cultural phenomenon
For fans of broad comedy and repeated fourth-wall puncturing, it's definitely worth owning.
With Myers feeling his oats as a comedy star, Wayne's World turned out to be an irresistibly silly (and masterfully marketed) option for audiences. [Blu-ray]
Everything wrapped within this film works...
Though it appears to be a brain-dead comedy, it at least has a little something to say about American suburbia in the 1990s -- a specialty of director Penelope Spheeris.
It's snickering, silly and, at times, downright demented (Bugs Bunny in a dress?), but that's why it works.
A classic comedy of its time.
Confronts the cultural emptiness of late 20th-century life head-on, revealing a profound hollowness in the heart of modern man (and babe).
Much of the credit for the film's success lies with Spheeris, whose confident if rough-edged direction keeps it on track and cooking.
Mike Myers' first claim to fame. Funny.
