Wayne's World

Wayne's World (1992) starring Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Rob Lowe, Tia Carrere. Directed by Penelope Spheeris. Wayne (Myers) and Garth (Carvey) put on a local-access cable TV show from Wayne's basement, and it's fun -- until they are "discovered" by the evil promoter (Lowe) who wants to buy their show. This Saturday Night Live spin-off is sure to be a cult favorite for years to come as it throws in just about everything that Myers and Carvey can think of to bring their characters to life. The SNL origins show in the scatter shot nature of the jokes, but enough of the bits land to make it an entertaining movie. While it didn't get the greatest reviews, it did very well at the box office, and for fans of SNL and  heavy metal music it is not to be missed. (Subtitles and closed captions are both available for the hearing-impaired.) Grade: B
