Wayne's World

Wayne’s World — 10

So I totally forgot how amazingly awesome this movie is. And you know the best part? This movie actually got better with age. Its more funny now than the first time I actually saw it. To top it off my girlfriend and another friend that was with me last night had never seen this movie before. So it was the highest on the to watch list.

Now the story is rather simple. Wayne and Garth have a local cable access TV show and have done nothing else with their lives. They are in their mid 20’s and still live at home. They eventually get a real show, but things change not to their liking, not to mention that Wayne gets fired off of his own show for doing things that he would have done on his show before it was a real show. As I said, its not the story that matters.

Now the comedy in this movie is at the top of its game, even 17 years later, it’s still fucking hysterical. I think at one point my innards were hurting so bad from laughing that must have twisted several times over because it literally hurt to laugh after a while. From Garths fantasy to the gratuitous sex scene, to the product placement, to Ted Bundy I cannot tell you how genius the comedy was. It is something that must be experienced.

The music was another thing that stuck out. It was perfectly fitting for the mood of the film, but not so much as to be a distraction from the film itself. Also how the hell can you ignore the Bohemian Rhapsody intro?

All in all this movie was by far better than I remembered it and I would definitely sit down to watch it again, but I think I will be watching the 2nd one again really soon.

Base Score = 9
+1 for Bohemian Rhapsody intro
+2 for excellent comedy, even after ageing
-1 for a really terrible story
=11/10
