6/10
If it wasn't for the new faces, I'd swear I was watching the first one.

It's the same type of struggles for Wayne and Garth, but this time instead of Rob Lowe, it's Christopher Walken in the villain role as Wayne's rival for Tia Carrare, and Kim Basinger replacing Donna Dixon as the object for Garth's scvinging affections. Not really a challenging plot, although the two (Mike Myers and Dana Carvey) have finally gotten their own place and their public access show is much more popular than before. James Hong gets thumbs up for his role as Carrare's very gymnastic father.

Movie and TV star cameos, lots of references to commercials, nostalgic music fads, and a focus on visual gags however makes the film watchable even if the originality of the first "Wayne's World" seems diluted by the new script. Certainly it's not realistic at all, but the sweetness of these two guys can't be denied. Chris Farley, seen briefly in the first, comes back as another character. The guest rock band has changed as well. As a time capsule for the 1990's, absolutely necessary.
