Adapted from the Henry James classic of the same name, Wayne’s World traces a young provincial girl’s journey toward self-realization and womanhood.
Not!
(It was necessary that a “Not” “joke” be worked into this at some point, so let’s just be thankful that we’ve gotten it out of the way this early.) Wayne’s World is, of course, the film adaptation of the seminal, 90s, Saturday Night Live sketch about two slacker BFFs, Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey). The duo host a wildly popular, Aurora, Illinois-based public-access show, broadcast from Wayne’s parents’ basement. The film elaborates on this premise by giving Wayne a robo-babe love interest, Cassandra (Tia Carrere), and introducing Benjamin (Rob Lowe), a smooth-talking television executive who plans to exploit “Wayne’s World’s” popularity and drive a wedge between Wayne and Cassandra.
Reject Radio #65: Not Rated By the MPAA
Features By Cole Abaius on October 11, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThis week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, Luke Mullen and Brian Salisbury stop by to dig into the problems of the MPAA, review three terrible awful no-good very bad films, and share with us 6 things they’ve seen on film that they can’t un-see. It’s incredibly effective, and you’ll be moved. Plus, we make jokes about Pepe Le Pew. En Francais.
It’s Going to Stink, Alright: Mike Myers to Voice Pepé Le Pew
Movie News By Neil Miller on October 7, 2010 | Comments (1)Warner Bros. must have some ridiculous confidence in the soon-to-be string of live-action/CGI hybrid films based on beloved toon characters. Most notably, the upcoming Yogi Bear (which looks slightly worse than awful, based on the trailers) and the previously announced Bug Bunny project. Now Vulture has a report that WB is looking to Mike Myers, man of funny accents (or master of a, singular funny accent) to voice the amorous skunk known as Pepé Le Pew. Here’s Sean O’Neal of The AV Club with the expected plot summary: “Pepé Le Pew, occasionally characterized by people who take these things too seriously as a racist caricature of a smelly French person, will once again work his date-rape-y wiles on Penelope Pussycat, with the two being the only computer animated members of a an otherwise live-action cast.” A 90-minute fart joke combined with 3D cartoony sleaziness? Should be… le sigh. Check the video after the jump for supporting video evidence.
This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr hands out grades to Shrek: The Final Chapter 3D, MacGruber and Human Centipede.

Shrek Forever After Trailer: This Again?
Movie News By Neil Miller on December 17, 2009 | Comments (7)Yesterday saw a flurry of trailer debuts, including the first Iron Man 2 trailer and the newish Clash of the Titans trailer (which I will be posting with comments shortly). Today, we get the first trailer for Shrek Forever After. That makes one point for yesterday, zero points for today.
Kevin Carr vents his spleen about an unexpected consequence of the failure of last year’s bomb The Love Guru.

2008 So Far: 10 Things We Liked, 5 Things We Didn’t

Would You Believe … $39 million for Get Smart?
Box Office By John Cairns on June 23, 2008 | Comments (4)Well, chaos reigned supreme at the box office this weekend. Or you might say, KAOS reigned supreme, because Steve Carell’s new movie Get Smart did well while everyone else seemed to tank at the box office.
As I watched Mike Myers embarrass himself in The Love Guru, I thought to myself “What was he thinking?” Granted, this was probably an ego project and Myers didn’t necessarily have me and my comedic sensibilities in mind when he wanted to get this flick made. But it brings up a valid question.

‘The Love Guru’ Goes the Extra Mile to Make Us Laugh, But Also Feel Uncomfortable
Movie Review By Neil Miller on June 19, 2008 | Comments (4)There is certainly something about a big, dumb Mike Myers-led comedy that leaves moviegoers emptying their wallets, isn’t there?

Humor By Neil Miller on June 19, 2008 | Comments (2)No big budget comedy would be complete without a few well-placed cameos, and The Love Guru is no exception. In this latest clip, check out Stephen Colbert stealing the show as only he can.
Before You See ‘The Love Guru’ You Must Watch This…
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 19, 2008 | Be the First To CommentBefore we can allow you to see a movie about a Hindu sex guru played by Mike Myers, we must show you something equally as intriguing. At least, we were intrigued…
I have found myself on an email splattercast courtesy of Rajan Zed, a self-proclaimed “prominent Indo-American leader.” Yes, while the Guru Pitka seems to be stalking our illustrious Executive Editor Neil Miller, I’m the target of this Indo-American media hound.
