I never saw the bit that led to this movie. It's my belief that a movie should work for someone, even if they are not familiar with the source material. For instance, we shouldn't have to read "Pride and Prejudice" to enjoy a film based on it. I do like Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. The use of local cable was an opportunity for those with some creative energy to get time to put their ideas out there. Now it's You Tube or streaming. There are several bits in this movie that are hilarious in and by themselves. But without a true center and a "script" it is just a compilation. There is no real story here. I know that some of the previous reviewers call those that don't like this "snobby." I believe what they are saying is that they don't like anyone really seeing what's there and putting an intelligent set of criteria on it. This is a silly movie and very funny in places. That's all it is.

Plot summary
Wayne is still living at home. He has a world class collection of name tags from jobs he's tried, but he does have his own public access TV show. A local station decides to hire him and his sidekick, Garth, to do their show professionally and Wayne & Garth find that it is no longer the same. Wayne falls for a bass guitarist and uses his and Garth's Video contacts to help her career along, knowing that Ben Oliver, the sleazy advertising guy who is ruining their show will probably take her away from him if they fail.

Here's What I Think
I laughed my head off! Funniest film of the early 90's
Wayne's World is a silly yet utterly hilarious look at two dimwits (based on they're SNL skit Mike Myers and Dana Carvey) who have their own public access TV show called "Waynes World". The story thickens to a nice touch with Rob Lowe as a big time hot-shot who wants to bring their show to big heights. Tia Carrere has never been hotter as the woman who Wayne wants and "we'll be mine". Many sight gags, many good lines, and probably all quotable, this movie (like Myers' Austin Powers) belongs in a place in comedy film history. A++
way too conventional
Despite its popularity, I didn't enjoy this movie. Mostly because as a "wacky" comedy, it's awfully conventional and doesn't make me laugh. I know many people LOVED this movie, but I just didn't.
If I want a wild and weird comedy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Producers, Start the Revolution Without Me and Strange Brew are all a lot more fun and a lot more bizarre.
Prat of the problem for me might be that I was never much of a fan of the skit on SNL. I though it was only okay and didn't merit an entire movie. Another SNL skit that was turned into a movie that had a more entertaining movie was The Coneheads. But, based on ticket sales, what do I know?!
