Likeable

Rating: 6/10 (19 March 2019)

"Wayne's World" is one of those movies that I should have watched a long time ago but for some reason didn't. I finally decided to catch up with it last night.
It's a movie that's hard not to like, but perhaps harder to love. The characters are so likeable, and the whole thing so earnest, it has an undeniable, goofy charm.
The plot is, really, too predictable. The love interest, the slick good looking guy after the hero's girl, the soulless rich guy who tries to corrupt the hero and spoil the youngsters' good time. It's like a '50s storyboard retrofitted with slacker '90s characters.
What's interesting is that the heroes are, in all probability, potheads, but there's no mention of drugs. I couldn't help but wonder if that was left out to get a PG rating.
The movie's best moments are the free wheeling scenes where the characters goof off. The plot kind of gets in the way.
