Review

I remember when this came out in 1992, and it was a big deal. Everyone everywhere was quoting it and it was in a way a part of pop culture, a bit like Austin Powers, another Myers film, became half a decade later on. Just like Austin Powers this is a very funny and iconic 90s film.

The acting is good and Wayne and Garth are relatable and believable characters. Rob Lowe puts in a very good performance, and there's some nice and funny cameos from the likes of Alice Cooper. The ending never fails to make me crack up and the hit to miss ratio is very high. Great music too! You really feel included as the audience with its constant talking to the camera, some fourth wall break jokes in films fail miserably but here they pretty much all work. There's a lot of good in-jokes in the film too. The sharp writing and great pacing help to make a very good comedy film.

I don't have any major criticisms of the film, for a movie based from Saturday Night Live this is as good as it gets along with the Blues Brothers.

8/10.
