"I had to beat them to death with their own shoes"
This is more great comedy from the minds of the cast members of Saturday Night Live. Dana Carvey and Mike Myers are among my favorites, so Wayne's World has always been a favorite of mine.
In their ode to die-hard 80s hair band fans, Wayne and his faithful sidekick, Garth, set out on another adventure. This time around, Wayne begins to question his mortal purpose. He is soon visited in a dream by a naked indian man who leads him through the desert sands to Jim Morrison. Morrison tells him that the purpose of his life is to put on a concert.
Of course, there are obstacles... Namely, Bobby (played by Christopher Walken), the smooth-talking and suave record producer in charge of managing Cassandra's (Wayne's girlfriend) budding music career.
Garth has issues of his own, though. He has just "gotten his first pubes", so he is eager to become familiarized with the ways of the woman. A snake of a woman, played by Kim Basinger attempts to take advantage of his innocence and loyal nature. The scenes Dana Carvey shares with Basinger are hilarious.
This is just a funny and ridiculous movie. With a good cast of actors, the story leads from one funny scene to the next. Carvey and Myers are great together...
Highly recommended for fans of SNL comedy.

Great follow up to a great movie...
Wayne's World 2, starring Mike Myers as Wayne and Dana Carvey as Garth is the short awaited sequal to the smash hit of 1992.
Wayne and Garth have moved out of the parents basement and now have their own place across town, still doing their low budget local access TV show and still worshipping every rock musician out there. Wayne and his girlfriend Cassandra, from the first movie are still an item only now she has a manager trying to help her get her career started.
This time Wayne has been sent a message from the spirt of Jim Morrison, of the Doors who tells Wayne he must put on a concert in Aurora and find the meaning of his life. Wayne takes the message very seriously and even flies to London, England to find Del Preston who used to be friends with Jim way back when. Now our duo must deal with putting on their TV show, raising enough money for a permit to hold the show Wayne titles "Waynstock" and deal with Cassandra being taken away from him by her manager. Not to mention Wayne has to prove himself worthy with Cassandra's father and Garth has a close encounter with a beautiful woman, Honey Hornee' (Kim Bassinger) who takes an instant liking to him but may be up to more then just a one night stand.
Overall the movie is on par with the first one. All the funny one liners and sight gags and situations fly by us with the same familiarity that the first gave us. We jump right back into the universe we left a year ago and it's like we never left it. A classic mock Kung Fu fight between Wayne and Cassandra's father with dubbed English while they talk is a priceless moment. As well as Wayne, Garth and two friends dressed up in outfits that the Village People music group wore spying on Cassandra and her manager only to be spotted by them and having to perform as said group in a Male only bar.
The only thing holding this movie back is that it seems too familiar, like we did this all before. There is enough original in this to make you forget the first but too much was taken from the first to make it more like a differnet version of the same. It still holds it own though quite well. Many more stars this time around play bit parts like for instance Drew Barrymore, Jay Leno, Heather Locklear, Metalica and Rip Taylor having parts that are just randomly thrusted upon us. Some play themselves while others playing differnet parts. Of course we can't forget the late and great Chris Farley who I must admit seemed a bit out of place in the part they gave him, but always cool to see him any time.
While some of the jokes were recycled from the first movie, Ie) the alternate ending and the new guy stealing Wayne's girlfriend from him while Wayne gets jealous all the while.. there are some great new gags. I loved the moment towards the end when Wayne stops at a gas station for directions and some bad old actor is giving Wayne some sad story about the street he is looking for only for Wayne to say he wants a better actor for this part and they suddenly change the actor before our eyes to someone better. Some new jokes didn't work like Wayne and Garth being lifted on their backs at the concert they are at and after they are placed down a lot of weird items are being sent in the same mannor to the security guards. That was probably one of those better on paper then it actually turned out to be moments that should have been left on the drawing board. It is also a bit dated, jokes that were funny in 1993 may seem a little silly now. For instance the Jurrasic Park moment but that's to be expected in these type of comedies. Usually popular pop culture of the time will be spoofed and if anything it brings back fun memories of yesteryear.
Overall if you enjoyed the first film, there is no reason not to get this one. It has all the same actors we loved, even a cameo from Ed O'Neil reprising his Glen role from the first. It may not have the same originality and charm the first did, but it is a welcome addition to any fan of a good comedy, follow up to a good film or something that the whole family can get a good laugh to.
The DVD has commentary from the director and about 20 minutes in little tidbits from the cast about moments in the film. More then worth it, especialy at the more then affordable price.
Check out the adventures of Wayne and Garth one last time as they put on the greatest concert in Aurora, IL history. You won't be sorry you did.

Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, Chris Farley...what more do you need!? !
Seriously, this is one of my all time favorite movies. I 100% agree with "a kids review" ..but I knew I would love this movie before I even saw it! It is surprisingly great for a sequel, that is exactly what I thought as well! It has the same characters, their same mannerisms, but the story takes a different turn this time, not focusing as much on "Wayne's World" the show, but as Wayne puts together Waynestock.
Chris Farley is hilarious as usual, and during tryouts for the crew for Waynestock, there is a hilarious scene where Chris gets pelted by tennis balls after not being able to keep up with the fast moving balls he is supposed to go after! HILARIOUS!
I love that Wayne is helped out by his dream and "Jim Morrison" ..very funny!
Bottom line, if you are reading this page, you obviously have some interest in Wayne's World, so if you have seen the first one and loved it, you probably will love the second one as well! I hold both in high regard, I think they are both hilarious in different ways, and if I had to choose, I prefer the second movie over the first, because the characters are established, and it is a perfect idea for Wayne to put on a concert! Great great movie!! :)

Garth Is A Major League Geek And Wayne Is A 'WannaBee Male Groupie"
This is a sorry excuse for a sequel. Dana Carvey once again plays Garth who doesn't know how to accept a sexual invitation by Kim Basinger and Wayne appears to be a aspiring male groupie.This movie is soley redeemed by the presence of the beautiful and talented Tia Carrere and I hope she got paid a shipload of money to appear in ths film.The plot arounds a Music Festival known as "Waynestock" and these two losers attempt to bring it to fruition. One can only come to the inevitable and sad conclusion that a 5 minute comedy sketch on Saturday Night Live should NEVER be turned in an 1 1/2 hour movie!!!I give this movie 5 stars because of Ms. Carrere.

Yes sir, I'll remember to cross the T's and dot the......um.........lower case J's.
Normally, sequels suck. This however, surprised the hell out of me. I loved Wayne's World. Pure genius would be an understatement. This also holds true for the sequel. This movie has the same energy, the same comedic genius, and thankfully the same actors as the original. Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar are possibly two of the best characters ever created. If you loved Wayne's World, you will love this sequel. Wayne's World 2 is superior in many ways to Wayne's World but will never be as recognized as the original. (Anyone that has seen Wayne's World will get that.)
