Todd Camp Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com The film still has its priceless moments, however, the best of which comes from Wayne and his pals driving around town while singing along to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Mar 11, 2021 Full Review Joe Pollack St. Louis Post-Dispatch Lots of tasteless jokes, and no need to pay attention -- if you miss a punch line, don't worry. It will be back again in 10 minutes or so. Mar 11, 2021 Full Review Bob Fenster Arizona Republic Wayne's World is a sociological dissertation on the post-adolescent, pre-existential, psychodynamic polemics of popular culture. Not. Wayne's World is a ton of fun for people who are younger than 30 or who think they are. Rated: 4/5 Mar 11, 2021 Full Review Shawn Edwards Fox 4 Kansas City I have to admit this movie sort of grew on me. Rated: 3/5 Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Wayne’s World is amazing, watch it if you haven’t seen it yet Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 10, 2022 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk successfully expands the world created by the SNL skits, following the logic of the characters, but taking them out of the basement and giving them more depth and nuance without losing the traits that fans already loved Rated: 3/4 Mar 14, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Jay H I loved this movie as a teenager. Now? Not so much. There are a handful of amusing bits, though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Colby B Really weird comedy but still enjoyed it, could see some inspiration from bill & Ted in it as well which is great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review david n Our family loved this Saturday Night Live spin-off.....and it reminded me of the early days. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review Stephen D A true classic of the genre. I'm not going to write fifteen paragraphs attempting (and failing) to explain humor using self-referential mathematical theorem. I'll leave that to the ample number of coked out aspie nerds making up most of the comments section. Simply put, it's one long golden-age SNL skit that actually has funny gags. That's all you need to say. Now go to bed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Leandro T A hilarious 90s comedy!!! Totally worth your time!!!! Im so glad that for once critics like a "Dumb" comedy. It's totally hilarious and is overall a feel good comedy. It's Waynes world! Party time, Excellent! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Blu B It takes a little bit to awrm up to the meta style random 90's humor, and the jokes a first get more of a chuckle than lol. However as it goes on it starts to really find it's stride and somehow be pretty clever and get even funnier with some clever commentary on fame and selling out. The music is awesome and kicks butt. Everything else is really good. The humor is really good and 90% of the time always gets a chuckle or a good laugh and is very original at the same time. Some references are a little dated at times and sometimes it gets a little too random at points but it's nothing close to say like the Scary Movie level ones. Garth & Wayne have great chemistry and Rob Low is really good. The dialouge is a weird combo of stupid but clever and witty at the same time. And there is some pretty clever editing. It does get pretty stupid at points but tha also is the point. It's a lot of fun and a comedy classic. Anyone who is a fan of the SNL show, comedies, or any actors in this will like this a lot. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
