Rating: - The single greatest comedy film EVER!!!
I have seen this easily a hundred times. I am not exaggerating! I know every single line. I could write the script, compare it to the real one, and not notice a difference. The first time I watched this there was non-stop-rolling-on-the-floor-cramped-stomach-aching-cheeks hysterical laughter!!! And there still is!!
There are a million things to laugh at in this movie. Even in mid-conversation the motions, the way they deliver their lines, and much more create non-stop laughs. If you've never seen this movie and are planning to, get ready to rethink what you think is the funniest movie ever. You should definetely watch this!

Meet Wayne and Garth. Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey) are the type of guys you knew in high school that you think about now and wonder where they are today. Two guys who love to party, scope out babes, rock out and generally have a good time. One has virtually no career goals (save for a low-budget cable access show) and the other is still an awkward nerd with limited social skills (and unlimited drumming skills). And yes, they still live with their parents. If this describes you, you might find this movie a bit depressing. As for the rest of the world, it is absolutely hilarious and infinitely entertaining.
Most people know of Wayne and Garth from the early 90's "Saturday Night Live" skit that Myers and Carvey carried on, but the movie truly outshines it. There have been countless SNL spin-off movies, but how many can you name off the top of your head? How many were ever this funny -- scratch that -- half as funny? "Wayne's World" is essentially, the best SNL movie ever. It stands on it's own, but still has the feel that the skit did. Both Myers and Carvey are dead-on with their roles and really slip into the characters. Carvey is especially entertaining as the awkward Garth Algar. If nothing else in this movie makes you laugh, Dana Carvey will have you busting a gut with his little quirks. Whether it's red-rope licorice, severed tongues, auto-shop tools or Bugs Bunny dressed as a girl bunny, everything this guy comes up with is downright absurd and hilarious. While Myers truly carries the movie with confidence, Carvey nearly outshines him at moments. Co-stars Rob Lowe, Tia Carerre (who shows off her vocal abilities), Ed "Al Bundy" O'Neill, Robert "T-1000" Patrick, Lara Flynn-Boyle and the late-Chris Farley, are also spot on, but rather insignificant when you consider the two strong leads.
What else can I say good about this movie? Well, it boasts a broad soundtrack with plenty of class acts such as Eric Clapton, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimi Hendrix, and of course, Queen, whose "Bohemian Rhapsody" is forever changed by this movie. Hell, there's even a role for Alice Copper in there too. If you're looking for a movie full of back-to-back jokes, this is the movie for you. If you don't like one joke, just wait a minute -- there'll be another one following it. If you love movies that you can quote for the rest of you're life, SCHA-WING! This is it. I can't say anything bad about this movie. I saw it at the ripe age of eight, and now, 14 years now, and I'm still laughing and finding new jokes. I could go as far as to say this is the funniest movie I have ever seen. Truly a classic.
Rating: - Wayne's World is the Best Movie Ever
Wayne's World, in my mind, will always be one of the greatest movies ever! The movie is about two guys (Wayne and Garth) who live in a small town in Illinois and who have their own public access television show called, "Wayne's World". They get an offer from young television producer to put the show on regular television with the help of a sponser. Wayne falls in love with a hot rockstar named Cassandra. The movie pretty much just goes on the show how their new producer, who also signed Cassandra to a record deal, tries to steal Cassandra away from Wayne.
The who movie is histarical from beginning to end. Wayne makes a great main character because he is easy to relate to and always speaks his mind. Garth is his sidekick who doesn't say much, but when he does it's something original. The best parts of the movie take place during their every day lives, and they come up with many creative and hilarious lines.

Based on the very popular Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name, Wayne's World stars Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as Wayne and Garth, two young adults who put on their own live local access TV show in their town of Aurora. The two will invite guests on to their show, talk of rock bands and music and of course talk about everything dealing with sexy women.
The film pretty much takes place as if we have known who Wayne and Garth are all along and shows us what it's like to live as them in their small Illinois town. Crusing the streets in the "Merth Mobile" singing Bohemian Rapsody with a few friends and eating donuts at their favorite hang out are just a few of the daily routines the duo go through after they finish with their show.
A local young and up coming Television Producer named Benjamin (Rob Lowe) catches their show one day and decides that Wayne's World will be the perfect show to put onto regular TV along with a sponsor. Of course he has to talk the two of them into doing it, nothing that two $5000 checks can't help. Along the way Wayne meets the love of his life, Cassandra, (Tia Carrere) a young asian rock singer who is just trying to get a break into the big time music business with her band. Wayne and Cassandra hit it off and it's a match made in heaven. But of course Ben also seems to take an intrest in Cassandra and Wayne starts to become jealous. He loses everything due to him.. his TV show, Garth's friendship, his girl.. how will he fix everything get his girl a contract and will he live happily ever after or will Ben and Cassandra wind up together on some tropical island leaving Wayne and Garth with nothing? Well you will just have to watch and see for yourself won't you?
This movie was a hit and for good reason. The characters contrast each other quite well. Wayne is smart and charismatic and tells it like it is while always showing his jealous side and Garth is the loyal sidekick who is soft spoken and smart but doesn't have much to say but when he does, it's usually something out there that will make you wonder where he came up with such things. This movie put Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody back in the minds of everyone due to the hillarious situation with them singing said song as they cruise the neighborhood. It just takes random moments and turns them into something fun. Whether its at a donut shop or behind the scenes of an Alice cooper concert everywhere we are taken is an enjoyable and often funny moment. The two stars seem to realize they aren't even in a real situation, often talking to the cameras as if they were talking to the camera man personaly and they even decide they want to change an ending if they don't like it. It has the same charm that Myers' Austin Powers movies have where we can't think too deeply into it or you lose the joke of the situation we are trapped in.
The film is short and to the point, as most good slapstick type comedies (Scary Movie and Naked Gun for instance) should be. It will have our attention and while it may not be the most creative or original of moments, they just work really well. It's not easy to take a short SNL sketch and turn it into not one but two hit movies. A lot of attempts were made (coneheads and It's Pat and more..) and failed miserably. Here is proof that when you have a good script, good actors and funny moments a TV sketch turned full length comedy will work quite well.
The only special features are a commentary by the director and a few short tidbits given to us by the actors of the film about things we may be interested in that happend during the movie. Could have been more but for the price the movie alone is more then enough.
Definitely give it a view. You won't be sorry you did. Sure you will get a new apprecaition of Queen and donuts but when the guy still living his his mom's basement and doesn't have a real job ends up with the hot chick at the end, it's never a bad thing now is is :).
Rating: - Had to buy the DVD after we wore out the tape
OK, so this is a 90's classic. Even my grandfather started saying"Not!". I can't really add anything else about the movie that others haven't already said so I'll just give a little about the extras. The director's commentary absolutely SUCKED! I've read that she didn't direct WW2 because she couldn't get along with Mike Myers and it comes across. I usually love the extras on DVD's but I turned this one off because it was so awful. So buy this if you love the movie and just want a good copy, but don't buy it for the extras.
Sun Microsystems has announced plans to cut between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs — that's between 15 and 18 percent of its workforce.
"It blamed the cuts on the global economic downturn, but I think that like many other companies, Sun is using the downturn as an excuse for what were pre-existing problems, foretold by its stock price, which seems to be in an unending swoon," suggests GigaOM's Om Malik.
"How much has Sun spent to develop Solaris or Java?" asks InfoWorld's Neil McAllister. "How much must it continue to invest in maintaining other products, which, despite being open source, have no appreciable development community? To say these products are not loss leaders suggests something akin to Hollywood accounting."
The answer? "Spin off Java," McAllister added in a later post. "Just get rid of it — farm it out to an industry consortium and let the companies that depend upon it manage it..."
