Critics Consensus

An oddball comedy that revels in its silliness and memorable catch phrases, Wayne's World is also fondly regarded because of its endearing characters.

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.

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.

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

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

I loved this movie as a teenager. Now? Not so much. There are a handful of amusing bits, though.

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.
