Excellent,
This review is from: Wayne's World 1 & 2 - The Complete Epic (DVD)
Two very funny movies. The DVD presentation is fantastic. A lot of effort here. The menu's look like a TV guide, you get glimpses of other DVD's (Ewww Solid Gold aerobics), each movie has a documentary with interviews (about 22 minutes each). The movie's themselves look great with anamorphic widescreen and DD5.1 sound. The director's commentary from Penelope Spheeris is entertaining and informative. The commentary by Stephen Serjuk is boring and meandering. A very worthwhile way to spend your money and enjoy a couple of hours of fun.

Wayne's World IS party time,

This review is from: Wayne's World 1 & 2 - The Complete Epic (DVD)
Alright; so both of these movies rock. They take one of the funniest SNL skits starring two of the funniest comedy actors of their time, and make them into a full length movie. Unlike most other SNL lifts, like superstar, night at the roxbury, or any of the other trite and pointless comedies that have sprung from the now waning-SNL, Wayne's World is actually funny, and addictingly so. From the first few moments of the original movie, joke after joke plows the audience. Meyers and Carvey are genius in their roles as bumbling musicians trying to make it big while keeping it real; as Wayne and Garth, they flow through fame fortune, and "CAsssandra" (tia Carerra, in a knockout foxy role). The second film isnt quite as good as the first, but lets be honest, how many sequels are even comparable to the first (the lost world to jurassic park, TMNT 2 to TMNT (tho vanilla ice rocked), the ounces of horror flick sequels). It is still very entertaining, tho, so dont be dissuaded by the fact that its a sequel. Seriously, a definite investment for anyone who needs a good laugh, or a few good movie lines to memorize. And a must buy for any Meyers/Carvey fan (hey whatever did happen to Dana Carvey....he is so talented). This reviewers final word: definitely buy

Excellent! It had to be mine. Oh yes. It had to be mine.,

This review is from: Wayne's World 1 & 2 - The Complete Epic (DVD)
This is totally amazingly eccellent! A boxed set of both of the Wayne's World movies. What more could someone who enjoyed the movies wish for?Who doesn't know the story of Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and his trustworthy sidekick Garth Algar (Dana Carvey)? As hosts of their very own local tv show, they're highly popular with the youngsters and the girls (though neither of them has much experience on that topic). In the first movie, they're approached by Benjamin, a sleazy TV executive (Rob Lowe), who is intent on exploiting the show "Wayne's World" to make a quick buck. Wayne is forced to deal with various issues, including being fired from his own show, losing his girlfriend Cassandra (The gorgeous Kia Terrere), and losing his best friend Garth. Will he and his group of friends manage to take back their own show and land Cassandra a record deal at the same time? The second one is about Wayne being visited in a dream by Jim Morrison. Wayne is looking for a goal in his life, and Jim provides him with one: Wayne is to organise WayneStock, a rock festival. Again, Wayne has to deal with numerous issues to fight his way through. To me, the real charm of the movie is by the countless amounts of famous stars making an appearance in the movie. From Alice Cooper and Aerosmith to Rob Lowe and Christopher Walken, from Tia Carrere to Ed O'Neill, from Chris Farley to Kim Basinger, the movies are packed with celebrities who were all to keen to help Myers out with this project. Even though the movies will never be a fallback for countless one-liners like (for instance) the Naked Gun series, they still make up for great amusement and a hysterical laugh. Myers and Carvey manage to make sure the movie doesn't fall apart, though (in my opinion) Carvey is the real talent here. He's pure comedy genius, and sort of makes Myers look like the sidekick. The only dissappointment is the lack of extra's on the DVD. Come on. No one out there will think 'Widescreen, Dolby Digital, English subtitles, Interactive menus or Scene selection' are "special features" anymore. Those are standard. Interviews are nice, but the real appeal with DVDs as a medium are goodies like Behind-the-scenes and Deleted scenes. It would have been nice to get a bit more for the buck. Still, for the true fan? The combo is a nice buy.
