Summary

Comedy starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. Teenager Wayne and his best friend Garth broadcast a popular, if little known, cable TV show from Wayne's basement, where they dispense their home-spun wisdom about life, music and girls. The show is taken up by an ambitious television executive, who believes he can sell it to a sponsor.

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

John Ferguson

Bill and Ted introduced the concept of dudes to an unwitting audience, but it was this spin-off from the TV show Saturday Night Live that brought in the megabucks and took "teen speak" to a new level. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey play Wayne and Garth, whose low-budget public access cable show is transformed into a national TV phenomenon by a sleazy producer (Rob Lowe). Along the way, Wayne falls in love with a rock chick (Tia Carrere) and gets to meet his idol Alice Cooper. Aiming for the unashamedly moronic, director Penelope Spheeris nevertheless manages to sneak in some sly satirical jibe. The film also benefits from some inspired casting, including Lara Flynn Boyle as Wayne's ex-girlfriend, plus a neat cameo from Terminator 2's Robert Patrick. The music's mainly metal, but the wonderful Queen tribute means you will never - if you ever did - be able to take Bohemian Rhapsody seriously again.
