I remember back when this was released that I absolutely loved it. Honestly, I really don't know why. I suspect that it could have been because it was sort of like Bill and Ted, namely because the main characters come across as a couple of stoners. However, upon watching it recently I was actually pretty surprised to discover that it was actually really, really bad. The reason this surprised me is because Mike Meyers have made some absolute hits, but for some reason in this film his acting was really really bad. Mind you, I suspect the problem is that I am not familiar with the skit that this film was based on, which was the Wayne's World that the film focuses on.
So, the film is about these two guys that run a PBS show from their basement called Wayne's World. Anyway, it simply seems to be life as normal as they wander around the suburb of Aurora, that is until Wayne meets this woman who happens to be the lead singer of a heavy metal band, and that a big time producer approaches him to have his show filmed in a proper studio, and is willing to pay him money, and a lot of it.
Of course, things end up going terribly wrong, especially when they discover that the reason the show was picked up was because the producers saw that they could make money from it. Wayne, of course, doesn't particularly want to play ball, and eventually everything starts going pear shaped which leads to the famous three different endings.
One of the interesting things about this film is that they break the fourth wall, constantly, which if done well can be quite amusing. As I indicated, when I first saw this film, I loved it, and in fact back in the day I really don't know how many times I've actually watched it. However, as time moved on, it sort of disappeared into the background, and I eventually forgot about it. Yeah, it turns out that, well, it really wasn't all that good, and now that I have watched it with a different pair of eyes, I guess I can get on with my life minus the misconception that this was a good film.
