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

Tom F Iconic and easy to take. I loved this when it first came out, my 2024 rewatch left me indifferent. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Elliot M It’s a good movie with a lot of funny quotes that I can remember and laugh about. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
