While eating take-out, you need something kind of good, but not truly great , much like the food you are likely gnashing, which is why I would recommend Wayne 's World 2 . For one, this is a much underrated movie. Christopher Walken gives a stellar comedic supporting role. When Wayne saves his would-be bride from Walken's evil clutches, the scene not only features a pitch perfect send-up of The Graduate , but also includes one of the best cameos-by-a-star-who-used-to-be-in-Biblical-epics ever (the star being Charlton Heston, of course). Like those kick-ass egg rolls you're eating, it's just good stuff. But, at the same time, it's kind of a let down. The climatic “Waynestock” concert scene leaves something to be wanted (like a performance by someone better than Aerosmith). And the jokes? Well, some of them seem vaguely reminiscent of another movie … what's it called again? Oh, wait, I remember. Wayne's World . So, like the sweet and sour chicken, it leaves something to be desired.
