Two Friends Who Share the Same Interests in Life

Rating: 6/10 (1 October 2016)

"Wayne Campbell" (Mike Myers) and "Garth Algar" (Dana Carvey) are two friends who share the same interests in life and host their own public-access television show which typically involves great humor at the expense of a guest. Then one day an advertising agent by the name of "Benjamin Oliver" (Rob Lowe) convinces a local arcade owner named "Noah Vanderhoff" (Brian Doyle-Murray) to sponsor the show on local television. Although Wayne and Garth like the initial money offered by Benjamin they fail to fully grasp the details of the contract and soon realize that they have surrendered all artistic control to him. If that wasn't bad enough, Wayne also discovers that Benjamin is very interested in his new girlfriend "Cassandra" (Tia Carrere) as well--and he has no qualms about stealing her from him either. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had good portions of enjoyable humor throughout the entire course of the movie. Unfortunately, there were also some less successful pieces of humor here and there as well. Additionally, although this film was quite refreshing when it first came out, I don't believe it has aged very well and because of that I have adjusted the rating of this movie to reflect that fact. Slightly above average.
