Wayne's World (1992)

This movie took me by surprise. I thought it was going to be annoying or, at the very least, incomprehensible to someone who had no familiarity with the original sketches. Instead, I got a largely enjoyable comedy that hit, yes, a lot of predictable notes, but also a few hilariously unexpected ones as well. It's a lot smarter than I would have ever expected. It's not quite as good as its obvious predecessor Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (though I would put it above the lackluster Bogus Journey). I love when movies surprise me by being better than I expected. 4 stars.
