Review – Wayne’s World 2

Perhaps seeing this one so many years after it came out was a mistake. Whether or not this particular joke had grown stale before the sequel even hit the theaters is now a question for the ages, but without a doubt the joke is beyond stale now. Lame compared to the original and tame compared to South Park or even Beavis and Butthead, Wayne and Garth just aren’t quite as clever as they seem to think they are. Of course, nobody in the universe is as clever as Mike Myers seems to think he is. This film marks the start of a downward spiraling trend more completely evident in Austin Powers. Most of the jokes just aren’t that funny, and even the ones that do manage to elicit a chuckle end up dead when he runs them into the ground. Wish I’d skipped it
