Rock out in your basement with two comedy classics! This exclusive DVD 2-pack includes the hilarious films WAYNE'S WORLD and WAYNE'S WORLD 2. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey adapt their slacker characters from Saturday Night Live to the big screen and strike comedy gold!WAYNE'S WORLD: In the tradition of The Ten Commandments, Lawrence of Arabia and Gandhi comes a sweeping screen epic bursting with spectacle and drama...NOT! It's WAYNE'S WORLD, the hilarious, party-down movie of the year, featuring rockin' tunes, radical babes, and your most excellent hosts, Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey). When a sleazy TV exec (Rob Lowe) offers Wayne and Garth a fat contract to tape their late night cable-access show at his network, the two can't believe their good fortune ("No way." "WAY!"). But they soon discover the road from basement to big time is a gnarly one, fraught with danger, temptation, and ragin' party opportunities. Can Wayne win the affections of rock goddess Cassandra (Tia Carrere)? Will Garth get dunked by his dream girl (Donna Dixon) at the donut shop? Serious questions, dude, and there's only one way to find out--watch WAYNE'S WORLD! WAYNE'S WORLD 2: It's 2 excellent to be true! Wayne and Garth are back (and forth) in the most awaited movie since WAYNE'S WORLD--WAYNE'S WORLD 2! Having achieved godlike status as a late-night TV personality, Wayne (Mike Myers) now confronts the question that has plagued man for centuries: "Is there life after cable?" Wayne gets his answer in a dream, wherein a very famous (and very dead) rock star says, "Put on a rock concert, and they will come." So Wayne and Garth (Dana Carvey) present "Waynestock". But first, Wayne must save his girlfriend Cassandra (Tia Carrere) from a sinister record producer (Christopher Walken), as Garth grapples with the advances of mega-babe Honey Homee (Kim Bassinger). Party on!

[1] I walked into "Wayne's World" expecting a lot of dumb, vulgar comedy, and I got plenty, but I also found what I didn't expect: a genuinely amusing, sometimes even intelligent, undercurrent. Like the "Bill & Ted" movies, this one works on its intended level and then sneaks in excursions to some other levels, too...The plot is not exactly the point here. It's only a clothesline. What is funny about "Wayne's World" - sometimes really funny - are the dialogue and sight gags. The movie wants to be a laffaminit extravaganza like the Zucker & Abrahams productions, but with slyer humor, more inside jokes, throwaway references and just plain goofiness, as when the characters occasionally break into their own language. - Roger Ebert
