Wayne's World

Mike Myers will always go down as one of the best products of Saturday Night Live ever to grace the silver screen. To see where it all began for the man behind Austin Powers, you need only watch Wayne's World.

In the late 80's, Myers created a slot on SNL about two heavy metal loving teenagers with a low budget cable T.V show. It was so popular that soon enough the sketch was shown in the U.K as a series in its own right.

It was only a matter of time before Hollywood came calling. When the call came Myers co-wrote the script and went on to create one of the sharpest films of the last decade.

The fact that the film lacks a solid story is not a problem, the script is witty and the characters so loveable that it doesn't really matter why they are doing what they're doing, so long as we get to see them doing it.

What story there is sees Myers' Wayne and Dana Carvey's Garth receive a big money offer for their cult T.V show from the scheming, villainous network execs. Having sold out to the big boys they refuse to conform to the new guidelines and soon decide they need to get the show back, and so they hatch a plan.

With cameo appearances left right and centre, this was easily one of the freshest comedies of the 90's and despite being over a decade old, it hasn't dated badly at all. It's worth watching if only for the in-car rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, which will surely go down as an all time classic cinema scene.

If you've not seen Wayne's World, then now is the time. If you have, you don't need to be told it's worth seeing again.
