Continuing in the goofy tradition of Wayne's World our two favorite goofballs Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are back in Myers's garage doing their cable access channel TV show. Tia Carrere whom he won in the first film is trying to get her music career going and she's got a shark of a producer Christopher Walken looking to move in professionally and personally.
Only in the movies would Tia Carrere pass up Christopher Walken in this film and Rob Lowe in the firs Wayne's World for Mike Myers.
Myers gets a vision from the late Jim Morrison who says it's their destiny to put on a concert in Adlai Stevenson Park in their home town of Aurora, Illinois. So these two just learn as they go the logistics of putting on a concert. They do get Aerosmith to show up for their event.
About 15 movies get spoofed in this film and one major film star gets to deliver some banal lines like it was from the Bard.
Number 2 continues with the same goofy standard as the first Wayne's World.

"If you book them they will come"
Wayne and Garth are still great together
Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) are back and now they're set up in an abandoned toy factory still doing their cable show. Cassandra Wong (Tia Carrere) is cutting a demo but record producer Bobby Cahn (Christopher Walken) is trying to steal her away from Wayne to L.A. Wayne dreams of a naked Indian and Jim Morrison who tells him to put on a rock festival in Aurora called Waynestock. They go to England to find Jim Morrison's concert organizer Del Preston. Garth has a new dreamgirl Honey Horneé (Kim Basinger) while they try to raise the money for the festival.
The guys are still loads of fun. They have great chemistry together and that's what works for this franchise. The story meanders and is basically a spoof of various movies. They even go off and do one for 'Jurassic Park'. There are very good sly jokes but not all of them work. There is a good kung fu spoof with James Hong as Cassandra's father. Although sometimes I do want the story to just move on.
Tell me why...
...they did this. There are some funny scenes here, but the original was good enough. It seems like they just xeroxed everything. I think that Waynestock would probably be a neat event, but "Wayne's World 2" really has little to show for itself. If anything, the strength lies in its cast. Aside from Mike Myers, Dana Carvey and Tia Carrere, there's also Chris Farley, Aerosmith, Charlton Heston, Kim Basinger, Kevin Pollak, and a whole bunch of others.
But really, the first one was the clever one. I don't know why Hollywood feels that they have to make so many sequels (oh right: they do it for money). Only watch this one if there's nothing else to do.
