When a Chicago TV station smells a potential youth-audience ratings hit, the station’s weasely executive (Rob Lowe) tries to coopt the show–and steal Wayne’s new rock & roll girlfriend (Tia Carrere) at the same time.

AGED
Wayne’s World was funny in 1992, but now, not so much. The jokes and references are stale, and often redundant. What a shame. I thought this would be a timeless piece.

EXTREME CLOSE-UP! AAAGGGHHH!!!!
Man, this movie is pure gold. Mike Myers is, as always, hilarious, and Dana Carvey, who I once thought sucked after seeing The Master of Disguise, earned my respect.
