running time : 1 hour 34 minutes 
Everyone's favorite headbangers from Aurora, Illinois, are back in this sequel to the 1992 hit comedy Wayne's World. The success of their TV show allows Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) to finally move out of their parents' homes, but now they have to figure out what to do with their lives. Wayne's girlfriend, up-and-coming rock star Cassandra (Tia Carrere), is enjoying a career boost thanks to her new manager Bobby Cohn (Christopher Walken), but Garth thinks that Bobby is more interested in her body than her place on the charts. Meanwhile, Wayne is visited in a dream by the late Jim Morrison (Michael A.Nickles), who convinces him to promote a massive rock festival, "Waynestock," featuring Aerosmith as headliners. Garth, on the other hand, is finally relieved of his pesky virginity by femme fatale Honey Hornee (Kim Basinger), though it turns out that Honey has a hidden agenda. Drew Barrymore, Harry Shearer, and Charlton Heston play cameo roles in Wayne's World 2, and Jay Leno, Rip Taylor, and Todd Rundgren appear as themselves.

The first Wayne's World feature was such an unexpected pleasure, expanding the Saturday Night Live sketch with such breeze, that its sequel seemed impervious to the traditional droop in quality. However, just as Bill and Ted took a wrong turn in Bogus Journey, Wayne and Garth lose their way in Wayne's World 2. Likeable as they are, Myers and Carvey earn as much good will and forgiveness as an eager audience can muster, but many of the jokes and characters are pale rehashes. Walken is a non-factor as Rob Lowe's stand-in, and despite her most game efforts, Basinger can't duplicate one iota of Lara Flynn Boyle's easy goofiness, albeit in a very different kind of supporting female role. These problems are not as distracting as the whole Jim Morrison visitation subplot involving the boys' plans for Waynestock. The fantasy sequences in the original were more organic, less forced, and, perhaps most important, more judiciously used appearing as the exception rather than the norm. If this had been the first Wayne's World movie to come down the pike, it probably would have been acceptable, but the first movie raised the bar too high for the sequel to stand a chance at favorable comparison.
