If This Film Was Breakfast, It Would Be Ham And Excellent!

Rating: 8/10 (15 October 2017)

Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) broadcasts a cable access show called Wayne's World from his parents' basement, along with his best friend Garth Algar (Dana Carvey). Although they have little going for them except the show, we won't call them losers. They are slackers, because they are generally happy with their lives. Mike is like the typical class clown. Garth is socially awkward.
The film is a slice of life comedy, a (SNL) skit-to-flick adaptation directed by Penelope Spheeris. I don't want to mention the scenes or comedy bits--some now iconic--throughout the film. But Myers and Carvey are comedic geniuses and they get to display their talents in various ways.
Tia Carrere plays Cassandra, the object of Wayne's desires. As lead singer for a rock group, she shows off her great voice. Who knew?
Other actors included to good effect are Rob Lowe and Lara Flynn Boyle. I also enjoyed the appearances of Colleen Camp, Brian Doyle-Murray, Donna Dixon, Chris Farley, Meat Loaf, Robert Patrick, and Ed O'Neill.
This might be considered low brow humor, but many of the jokes are rather erudite. On all levels, this is one funny film.
