Everyone's favorite headbangers from Aurora, Illinois, are back in this sequel to the 1992 hit comedy Wayne's World. The success of their TV show allows Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Da... read more read more...na Carvey) to finally move out of their parents' homes, but now they have to figure out what to do with their lives. Wayne's girlfriend, up-and-coming rock star Cassandra (Tia Carrere), is enjoying a career boost thanks to her new manager Bobby Cohn (Christopher Walker), but Garth thinks that Bobby is more interested in her body than her place on the charts. Meanwhile, Wayne is visited in a dream by the late Jim Morrison (Michael A. Nickles), who convinces him to promote a massive rock festival, "Waynestock," featuring Aerosmith as headliners. Garth, on the other hand, is finally relieved of his pesky virginity by femme fatale Honey Hornee (Kim Basinger), though it turns out that Honey has a hidden agenda. Drew Barrymore, Harry Shearer, and Charlton Heston play cameo roles in Wayne's World 2, and Jay Leno, Rip Taylor, and Todd Rundgren appear as themselves. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    It didn't live up to the first, this was just stupid and not funny, and it wasn't the cool stupid like the first.
  • May 22, 2011
    One of the best comedy sequels ever made, it follows the first movie exactly, doesn't change any actors, and it is just as funny without reusing all the same jokes. And it's based on the popular SNL sketch. I highly recommend this movie, it's the funniest sequel of the 90s.
  • August 22, 2010
    It doesn't equal or surpass the first, but this is still a good sequel, and a decent film in general. Surjik isn't quite as good a director as Spheeris, and some scenes go on a bit too long, but overall, this is an okay movie.

    Wayne's World 2 is the perfect example of a better sequel. The film is even more enjoyable, and features some awesome cameos. In this one, Wayne decides to put on a concert after he has a dream about Jim Morrison. Funny, comical, and silly, Wayne's World 2 is a terrific sequel. ... read moreMike Myers displays a great prose for comedy, and he delivers something great on screen, same goes to Dana Carvey. Both actors delivers laugh out loud performances, and Wayne's World is actually, for a comedy sequel; even better than the first. Well, I've watched this film over 20 times, more times than the first, and I always come back to this sequel because I find that all involved had more confidence and were able to pull something even better the second time around.

    Possibly worse than the original. Mike Myers acting and comedic timing is just nowhere near my taste. I feel he uses cheap laughs and holds zero originality. Everything he does seems to parody something from pop culture. This is a prime example of that.
  • September 24, 2009
    A fun but inferior sequel that descended into a spoof movie.
  • August 16, 2008
    I actually liked this one better than the first one.

    Kim Basinger.
  • September 28, 2007
    Because of Christopher Walken I like it.
  • September 4, 2007
    Really funny film, look for a cute cameo from Drew Barrymore. I still think the first one was better.

Hilarious. Full Review

Janet Maslin

Janet Maslin, New York Times

This film is sometimes too familiar, especially in early scenes that deliberately repeat the first film's gags. But the formula isn't tired yet. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The secret to the comedy of the Wayne's World movies is their goodwill... and in Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar the series has created two characters it is impossible to dislike. Full Review

Joe Brown, Washington Post

The sequel to last year's breakaway hit offers more of the same, but it's somehow fresher, funnier and more endearing than the airheaded original. Full Review

Rita Kempley, Washington Post

Carvey is such a lovable doofus and Myers such a well-intentioned naif that it's hard to get down on them, especially considering that the heirs to their niche in pop iconography are Beavis and Butt-h... Full Review

There are some worthwhile moments in Wayne's World 2, but not enough to justify a feature-length movie. Full Review

became more about an excuse to party. Sure, that fits Wayne Campbell's style, but I was hoping for some more story, even if it was a bit silly Full Review

Peter Canavese, Groucho Reviews

Wayne's World 2 revels in silliness even more than the first movie, but it turns out that's a good thing as compensation for the otherwise repetitive feel. [Blu-ray] Full Review

No one was more surprised than I was that not only did this "Saturday Night Live" sketch work as a film, it worked twice, and uproariously both times. Full Review

This isn't nearly as funny as its predecessor, but still boasts more decent gags per reel than your average comedy follow-up. Full Review

    • Del Preston: Now. It take two people to run a stage. One out front, and one backstage. Now Garth will be out her in the front with his team, and Wayne will be backstage with his team. To the left and right will be the machine gun nests. Now these babies tend to heat up, so shoot in three second bursts. In the event of capture, I will personally be issuing cyanide pills to be placed under the tongue, as so. [places a cyanide capsule under his tongue] Any questions?
