Airheads

this movie is great! i nearly forgot how funny brendan fraser is. i actually watched it last night for the second time in, let's say, 6 years? and that six years i spent hoping to see it again. 10/10 HILARIOUS!!!!!! you have got to see this film! don't listen to the people who say it sux cause it doesn't!

Three band members hoping for a big break head to a radio station to play their demo tape and wind up holding everyone hostage with plastic guns when the head DJ is unable to play them.

To say this film is a good one from a critical standpoint is a lie, as it is pretty bad in a multitude of ways. But as far as 1990s comedies go, or films connected to "Saturday Night Live" (this one very loosely), this ranks up there in entertainment value.

If nothing else, the cast sells this -- David Arquette and Michael Richards before their prime. Adam Sandler at his peak. Brendan Fraser in a transition from Pauly Shore to "real" films... and Steve Buscemi? This is just loaded with talent.

The music will not appeal to everyone. Even as a fan of metal, I have to say a lot of the music is not as top-notch as it probably should be.

We've got Brendan Frazier before he dissappered, Adam Sandler before he had to make movies for himself, Kramer, David St Hubbins, two ghostbusters,a fun and funny story, and lastly a brief cameo from Galactic Cowboys.

Sons of Thunder aka Galactic Cowboys was a nice surprise, however brief. If you like the era of music that is promoted in this movie, give Galactic Cowboys a try. They're a nice little band from Texas that never got as known as they deserve, but always seem to be having fun making rockin' music.

Airheads doesn't break any ground, but it is a good time from start to finish. The story is over the top and unlikely, but it can be taken as inspiring.

It has a School of Rock vibe to it, although it came out quite a bit earlier than School of Rock, and it doesn't have much of a grounded underlying theme as School of Rock does. But both movies are true to the art they are portraying.

There's not much I have to offer cinematically here. Just enjoy the ride and the rock.

A hilarious tale about three bumbling guys desperately trying to get their demo tape heard so that they can be rocketed into rock stardom. So it comes down to it, that they can hold Rebel radio hostage and take it over just to have their tape played. One thing after the next happens to prevent them from obtaining their goals. Whether having Michael Richards assault them with a gun, making ridiculous requests like nude photos of Bea Arthur or finding out that Rebel Radio is going to be a easy listening station in a matter of days.

The film is chock full of laughter and cameos, and I think on a sensual side (on myself being a metal head) this film showcases where many "hard rock/heavy metal" radio stations were biting the dust to make way for other music. This film hits close to home, has a kick ass soundtrack (with the Lone Rangers themselves) and has many SNL members to make the film really enjoyable, a comedy classic of the 90's.

Worthless trivia: This is one of the film films that you can find two of the original Ghostbusters together, as Harold (Egon) Ramis plays a phony as record exec, and Ernie (Winston) Hudson plays a cop that has to deal with the metal heads insane requests and Chris Farley being a fool.

Airheads is a really good comedy that overcomes it overall lack of really funny moments and a few overly slapstick characters with its extremely entertaining nature. Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi are all great. Ernie Hudson and Joe Mantegna are both really good. Michael Lehmann's direction is also great, it's extremely well filmed and well paced. The soundtrack is good.
