Reviews of the movie: Wayne's World 2

Somewhere in the world, there are probably people who don't understand why Mike Myers's character, Wayne Campbell, is funny--which is too bad. Granted, the laughs are often cheap and silly, but there's no one who can embody a comic character and riff within that character the way Myers does. Wayne and his pal Garth (Dana Carvey) were fixtures on Saturday Night Live before the unexpected success of Wayne's World, which is about what happened when they tried to take their local cable-access show citywide. This time, they want to stage Waynestock, a mammoth rock festival in their little Chicago suburb, even as Wayne copes with girlfriend Tia Carrere's interest in record-company exec Christopher Walken. For extra fun, Garth gets involved with the babelicious Kim Basinger. Yes, the humor is scattershot and the plot is lame--but you'll find yourself laughing nonetheless

Just about as good as the original, in some ways better...
This was really close to the first in quality (one thing that Bill and Ted's never achieved: a good sequel). In some ways it far surpassed the first; for one, Christopher Walken kicks the hell out of Rob Lowe in cool factor. Just being in the film is enough to raise the level. Also, that faux Hong Kong martial arts scene between Mike Myers and James Hong is priceless!! The best scene in both films by far! (I especially love the phone call in the middle...)

Downside? Well, Tia Carrere was still in it, and she was still singing. But that on its own wasn't enough to eliminate the quality of the film. Kim Basinger more than made up for it with an *amazing* role as adulterous wife Honey Hornée, who teaches Garth a thing or three about women. Sultry and a great actress when she wants to be, she's everything Tia can never be.

Another downside is that the flow is much more off here. Too many Jim Morrison scenes (although Tim Meadows does a great Sammy Davis Jr.) and too much of the ‘weird naked Indian'. In fact, many of the jokes were pushed too far and felt forced. But the scenes that were on were *hilarious*!!

Look for more great cameos: Ed O'Neil reprises his hilariously psychotic role as Mikita's manager, Chris Farley plays a typically Farley-esque roadie. Other cameos include: Aerosmith, Charlton Heston (the *good* actor;), Harry Shearer, Heather Locklear, Jay Leno, Drew Barrymore and Kevin Pollack (it's all in the eyes;)

Overall: a good sequel to a good movie. Thankfully they quit while ahead. Definitely had its moments, and those moments were great!
