”Schwing!”
Wayne’s World is a comedy movie released in 1992. The director of the movie was Penelope Spheeris and the writers were Bonnie and Terry Turner, a married couple who also wrote 3rd Rock from the Sun and That 70’s Show, and Mike Myers who also was the leading actor of the movie. Other main actors were Dana Carvey as Garth, Waynes sidekick and Tia Carrere as Cassandra, the basist of the band called Crucial Taunt and Waynes to-be-girlfriend. The movie was a big hit and it made profit of 100 million dollars just from the movie tickets in US. The movie got a sequel in 1993.
The events take place in Aurora, which is Chicagos suburb. The main characters, Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar are best friends and they both live in their parents houses. They run a basic cable ”basement show” called Wayne’s World, which is filmed in Waynes basement. The show is a short review of current pop culture things and Wayne picking on Garth. Briefly, the rest of plot is about TV-boss Benjamin Kane buying the rights to the show and eventually failing when he tries to make the show better. Selling the shows rights tests Waynes and Garths friendship. Things don’t get any easier, when Wayne falls in love with Cassandra, who plays bass in a band which performs in bar called Comrades, where Wayne and Garth go celebrate after getting 10,000 dollars from the sold rights. Garth and all the audience is angry to Wayne because he sold the rights but then he gets the rights back and everything is back to normal.
The amount of the laugh was too damn high when I watched Wayne’s World for the first time. The humor hit me very well and I’m frustrated by the fact that Wayne’s World has only two movies. The movie is written for teens and especially for American teens at the time. The kind of ”basement shows” as Wayne’s World were very popular by the time of the movie. All cities had 2-3 basement shows of their own. I don’t think that the movie has a message because Mike Myers’s comedy movies are usually just for laughs. I would recommend the movie for all those people who love so bad corny jokes that they became good and for those who love to laugh until they pee themselves. (Thank God didn’t happen to me.) It is easy to follow and the only thing I would done differently is the movie cameras, which quality was poor.
