Two amiably aimless metal-head friends, Wayne and Garth, broadcast a talk-show from Wayne's basement on local public access television. The show comes to the attention of a sleazy network executive who wants to produce a big-budget version — but he also wants Wayne's girlfriend, a rock singer named Cassandra. Based on the recurring Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name. (Paramount Home Entertainment)

The first time I met Wayne’s World was via a VHS in a local movie rental store where I must have watched everything there was to watch. I didn’t really remember this one and so I thought I was probably too young for this kind of humor back then. And as luck would have it, Cinemax has opened up this little irresponsible window to assure me that I didn’t remember it on purpose. The bad jokes that are intentionally cringy have evoked sadness instead of joy. Another “legend” I’ve crossed out in my mind.

You either like Mike Myers' humor or you don't, and I subscribe to the former group and enjoyed Wayne's World. It's not nearly as silly and simple a spectacle as it may seem. It's a pretty clever film that makes fun of itself, others, and the entire film industry and loves using all sorts of clichés and turning them on their head or leaving them as they are because they're pretty laughable in their own right... Oh, and the two perfect clowns in the lead roles – and of course Alice Cooper, who apparently knows everything about Milwaukee. Fun, fun, fun.
