Thought this was a bit stupid to be honest. There were good points and some laughs but I guess just not my kind of humour.
An okay movie with a simple story but comedic characters who play with the narrative, providing the most enjoyable moments and eliciting good laughs. However, these scenes are few, and the rest of the plot failed to hold my attention.
Too bad some of the jokes are only understood in the US.

A classic and true rom-com.
I watched this a lot as a child and it’s clearly warped my brain. Awesome!
SNL's first spinoff since The Blues Brothers, a dozen years earlier, is very much a product of its time. It's a loving snapshot of the end of an era; a time when a roving car full of scruffy-looking dudes could stumble upon a partied-out buddy, stuff him in the back seat and revive him through the power of prog rock and timely, enthusiastic headbanging.
Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, still so fresh-faced that they were expected back in Studio 8H after a mere forty days of filming, clearly live for their roles. As twin emcees, they're the joyful, easygoing masters of an itty bitty sphere of influence, but quickly turn wide-eyed and innocent when a suave corporate opportunist (Rob Lowe, in a perfectly-cast turn) comes knocking with a TV deal. That whole plot is as telegraphed as they come, an unmistakably simple blueprint, and the cast isn't above cracking a few meta jokes at its expense.
Really, we aren't here for the story anyway. It's all about the gags, quotes, skits and one-liners, which are scattered abundantly throughout. A continuous playground in that respect, fertile grounds for a hungry crew looking to stretch their wings. I've referenced this movie, exhaustively, for almost thirty years now. And, while all the old familiar bits still draw a big reaction, this is the first time I've noticed how culturally dated they're beginning to feel. In that sense, too, it's forever stuck in the early '90s.
ahm Pepsi Cola, mountain dew, load of some young guy :-D
Still one of the best Comedy Movies EVER.
Rewatched again the other day and this still holds up, the origin of so many popular culture jokes and references, this SNL bunch really shine. Car pool Karaoke, Youtubers, That's what she said...all owe a nod to Myers and Carvey.
"I'm gonna be frank."
"Okay. Can I still be Garth?"
got a question for you trivia people out there.. does anyone know the origin of the quote "we fear change" that garth used in this movie?

Wayne's World just isn't that funny. It might have been in '92, but Jim Carrey has owned the ridiculously stupid humor genre since '94. On the rare occasions that I want absurdity, there are better movies to reach for.
