What critics compared Dude, Where's My Car? to
Just as in "Wayne's World," a film that is clearly a constant point of reference here, the core of the story has less to do with the loosely connected scenes at hand than with the undying friendship that motivates these two wide-eyed characters.
But the mad excesses and gleeful tastelessness of a genre that calls to what remains of the dirty-minded brat in all of us, are largely missing from this cheery post-"Wayne's World" stew of teenage buddy jokes and low-rent sci-fi nonsense.
Yet another addition to the long line of ‘Stupid Movies’ that Hollywood insists on churning out – you can blame the Farrelly Brothers and Dumb & Dumber if you like, but Dude, Where’s My Car? has its roots as far back as Cheech & Chong’s pot-smoking comedies from the 1970s, as well as in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure in 1988.
Like Memento or Dude, Where's My Car? the movie turns on the question of amnesia.
