Wuchak "Wayne's World 2" came out a year after 1992's "Wayne's World" with Mike Myers as Wayne Campbell and Dana Carvey as Garth Algar, who run a silly cable show rooted in rock/metal culture. In this sequel, Wayne receives word in a vision from none-other-than Jim Morrison to put on a concert in Aurora, Illinois. He dubs it Waynestock. If he "builds it" will they come? I saw this film before the first one in a motel with my wife circa 1994-95 and, by the end, I was crying I was laughing so hard. The scene that put me over the edge was when a certain classic actor appears as a gas station attendant.Memorable moments abound: The encounter with the albino-eyed city official, Wayne's martial arts fight with Cassandra's father, Wayne's visions with Morrison and the half-naked Indian, and many more.The original film is actually a let-down compared to this one. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid comedy and consistently amusing if you're in the mood for goofy humor rooted in 70s-90s rock/metal, but there are a number of flat areas. This sequel flows better and is way funnier. It helps if you're up on the rock/metal scene and cinema though, otherwise you won't get half the jokes.I gauge comedies by how funny they are (naturally), as well as how compelling, and "Wayne's World 2" delivers exceptionally on both fronts. It's one of my all-time favorite comedies along with "Coming to America" and the original "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." The film runs 95 minutes and was shot in Chicago and Southern California.GRADE: A

Terrell Howell (KnightsofNi11) From it's humble beginnings as a Saturday Night Live Sketch, the Wayne's World characters have become something of pop culture icons. The original film is incredibly popular among fans and could now be considered somewhat of a cult classic, spawning numerous catchphrases and making the unique look of Wayne and Garth a very recognizable get-up. And then we come to it's sequel, the aptly named Wayne's World 2. This new Wayne and Garth story is stupid, silly, goofy, over-the-top, and yet really entertaining. It is set a year after the first film. Wayne and Garth are still doing their TV show, but now Wayne is starting to realize that maybe it is time to do something with his life. So he decides he is going to put on a huge rock and roll festival called Waynestock in order to prove to himself, his girlfriend Cassandra, and Cassandra's strict father, that he is capable of greatness.The original Wayne's World is absolutely one of the funniest movies ever, and it ranks very high amongst my favorite comedies. Thus, I was skeptical going into a sequel. To do the entire Wayne's World experience over again would be near impossible with the original being such a classic. I was expecting a very poor rehashing that tried to beat the original at its own game, thus being terribly unfunny. But I was mistaken in thinking this. Wayne's World 2 knows it can't outdo Wayne's World so it doesn't try to. It is its own silliness and absurdity. It has the same kind of humor as the original and the character of Wayne and Garth haven't changed and are still hilarious, but it is certainly not the original film all over again. Plus, this film is still hilarious. There are great laugh out loud moments that remind us why we love Wayne and Garth and all that they stand for. I was expecting this film to be good for no more than a chuckle or two, so one can imagine my surprise when I found myself cracking up at moments of the film.Now, all things considered, this movie is still really, really dumb. As much as I laughed, there are still the jokes that work and then the jokes that don't work. The jokes that work are hilarious, the ones that don't work are awful, eliciting a shameful rolling of the eyes from me. And then of course we have the story, which isn't anything to get excited about. It's obvious, predictable, simple, and unoriginal. But let's face it, this movie wasn't made for it's story. It's made for the jokes and the great shtick that the Wayne and Garth characters pull off. The atmosphere of Wayne's World is something very important to how the series works, and this was the more important aspect in making this a funny film, not the storyline. I could go on and on about plot, character development, structure, etc, but I would just be wasting my time. The point is, Wayne's World 2 is just here to make you laugh.Wayne's World 2 isn't a fantastic film by any means. It really can't even hold a candle to the original. But it still made me laugh and seeing Wayne and Garth in action again was great. You can't get tired of these lovable characters played so well by Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey that you just don't care how dumb the movie is. I don't see myself quoting Wayne's World 2 like I quote Wayne's World, and that's assuming I quote Wayne's World 2 ever. But I don't regret watching it and for a sequel to a great classic, it isn't all that bad. Sincere kudos go out to the filmmakers for making a successfully better than expected film out of Wayne's World 2.

Aaron1375 This film like the first one features the SNL skit characters Wayne and Garth and this time they are planning to throw one heck of a super concert. Tagging along hoping to make it really big is once again Tia Carrere. You know the Carrere that appears in both Wayne's World movies and virtually nothing else, not the porn star who is probably more well known and popular as she does not sing badly and her acting is on par with Tia. The concert part of this film makes for the best comedy in this one, while the whole Wayne/Cassandra romance once again makes up the weakest part of the film. Overall, that is pretty much what this film is, a bit weaker version of the first movie. When they are pulled over by the cop and it ended up being the cop from "Terminator 2" that was rather funny and unexpected. Here there is a similar joke that is so telegraphed that it is not even mildly amusing and rather pointless. There is a rather funny scene in this one where Wayne meets Cassandra's dad and while it is cheesy and a bit like the scenes out of the Police Academy movies it still worked. The ending though is not quite as good though. In the end, this movie could have been good, part of the problems with this one might stem from the fact that this one was released so shortly after the first movie.

Kyle Hodgdon The crew of "Wayne's World 2" had a nearly impossible task of following up the amazingly successful "Wayne's World". Needless to say, this does not compare to the original. However, this film is pretty good. Myers and Carvey are back with just as much wit and splendid timing as the original. This time they are opposed by the brilliance of Christopher Walken who, as usual, plays his part to a tee. The plot of setting up a festival does not have the power of that of the original and I was not crazy with the Jim Morrison character. The amount of cameos was a bit too extreme at time as what seemed like every other shot had some other famous person wanting to be part of the film. You would think that a film like this would not be as good hearted as it is, but it really is just a good film on so many levels. It's not a must see like it's predecessor, but I would still recommend it to anyone.
