Based on the Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name Wayne s World is a wacky irreverent pop-culture comedy about the adventures of two amiably aimless metal-head friends Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey). from Wayne s basement the pair broadcast a talk-show called Wayne s World on local public access television. The show comes to the attention of a sleazy network executive (Rob Lowe) who wants to produce a big-budget version of Wayne s World and he also wants Wayne s girlfriend a rock singer named Cassandra (Tia Carrere). Wayne and Garth have to battle the executive not only to save their show but also Cassandra. Director Penelope Spheris Myers and Carvey hang a lot of silly but funny jokes on this thin plot and the energy of the cast - as well as the wild pop-culture references - make Wayne s World a cut above the average Saturday Night Live spin-off movie.
