The cultural references of Wayne's World may date it a bit, but the nature and personality of its humor set it apart. There is a kind of naive benevolence and boundless joy which makes this movie so lovable. Its aimless plot and exaggerated humor are cute, without ever transcending that barrier into maudlin sentiment. This is a difficult mix to achieve, especially when so many comedians go out of their way to achieve "street credibility" through as much forced vulgarity and stereotypical humor as possible. The Bohemian Rhapsody opening is such a classic. Mike Myers is a genius with comedy, in all of his films he is a joker, and makes people laugh, and this one is no exception. Dana Carvey fits in perfectly as his side-kick too, being his geeky friend Garth.
While today's youth might not find it to be as funny, if you grew up in the 80's and early 90's then you will be able to find plenty to relate to.
