Movie Reviews of Airheads
Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
Right now, I am working on getting my own band together. I also happen to be a fan of Adam Sandler, Brendan Fraser, and Steve Buscemi. Sandler, Fraser, and Buscemi are all hilarious, and I have seen a lot of their films. So any musician or any fan of theirs should check out "Airheads", a riotous comedy which makes you wonder how far any musician/band will go to get their music out on the market.
Chester "Chazz" Darvey (Fraser), Rex (Buscemi), and Pip (Sandler) are three friends in a band who live and work in Los Angeles. Rex and Pip are brothers. At the beginning of the movie, we see how far Chazz, Rex, and Pip are going in life. Chazz lives with his girlfriend Kayla in a small apartment and gets kicked out at the beginning of the movie. Rex works at a toy store. Pip has his own pool service. Their band is The Lone Rangers. Recently, they just recorded their first demo, which they have on both a tape and on a cassette, and they are trying to get their demo played on the radio. So one day, Chazz, Rex, and Pip go to a radio station in downtown L.A., and after breaking into the station, they meet a radio disc jockey named Ian. After an argument with both the DJ and the program director, Chazz, Rex, and Pip take the radio station hostage. And once Chazz, Rex, and Pip have the station held hostage, funny, surprising, shocking, and hilarious events occur.
"Airheads" is definitely one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Every single second of this movie is funny, and all of the actors give great performances. My favorite character would have to be Pip, becuase he is the stupid one out of the gang, and while he is nice to the hostages (at one part of this movie, Rex has to take him in private and train him a little bit so he will appear as tough) out of all the dumb decisions made by characters during this movie, he makes the dumbest decision (wait till you see what that is). So check out "Airheads". You'll die of laughter.
Movie Review: I'm wanna be a rockstar, but...on my own terms!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally I have my other favorite Rock and Roll comedy (the other being Spinal Tap, of course)! This movie is hilarious and depicts its characters, music genre, and attitudes in a hilarious but realistic way. Brendan Frasier, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler are Chaz, Rex, and Pip aka "The Lone Rangers" (you can pluralize that?). Anyway they get fed up with never getting any airtime for their song "Degenerated", so they take the KPPX "Rebel Radio" station hostage with plastic uzis filled with hot sauce. I won't give away the rest but hilarity definitely ensues! The three stars are surrounded by hilarious co-stars like Chris Farley ("improvise"), Michael McKean (You can't smoke in here, babe.), Allen Covert (the guy in every Sandler movie!), Judd Nelson (we're making records), Ernie Hudson (a giant plastic baby bottle?), Joe Mantegna (Ian the Shark), Reg E. Cathey (Marcus with the wah wah pedal and afro!), Amy Locane (What the heck happened to my make-up?!), Nina Siemaszko (I like your hair), David Arquette (yall are like woo-hoo and ...), Michael Richards (I don't even have a home, I have a condo), Harold Ramis (Wrong, Lemmy is God!), Lemmy (Editor of the school magazine), Beavis & Butthead (voice only, ...)and others I may have missed! The DVD is exceptional: Anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1), Theatrical Trailer, Featurette (made up of clips and fake news coverage), TV Spots, Music Videos for "Born to Raise Hell" by Motorhead (featuring ICE T & Whitfield Crane) and "Feed the Gods" by White Zombie (also performed at a night club in the movie! so Bonus!), 19 Chapter selections, English and French Audio, and English and Spanish subtitles, not to mention a disc with the three AIRHEADS pictured on it! Highly recommended, especially for fans of the cast and pretty much anybody who liked Spinal Tap! Even better than naked pictures of Bea Arthur (I'm just assuming here)!
Movie Review: Hilarious...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've ever been in a band and you've recorded a demo then tried to send it off to major record labels and every attempt failed, then this movie will set your spirits high.
In this epic, 3 bandmates have no career motivation whatsoever except to make it big in the record industry. Their half baked plans to get the record people to listen to their demo tape backfire. What's a band to do now? Why, take a popular station hostage, of course!
Armed with toy guns loaded with pepper sauce, the 3 guys bust into (well sorta) the station and demand that the guy plays the tape. Only one problem. The quarter inch tape player(think old time projectors) just destroyed their copy! The lead singer's ex girlfriend has the other copy, and they have to get her to bring it to the station.
Starring Brendan Frasier and Adam Sandler, this movie will not dissapoint. For anyone who likes movies about garage bands, and people that are in bands, then this movie is for you! This also stars the guy who does Fat Tony's voice on the Simpsons as the radio DJ.
Movie Review: Funny as anything
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie about 6 years ago at the cinema and when I watched it for the 20th time just a week ago it was still as hillarious! The most incredible cast in Adam Sandler (Wedding Singer, Big Daddy) Brendan Frasier (Mummy, School Ties) and Steve Buscemi (Con Air, Fargo) make this movie not only funny but well performed as well! The appearances by Chris Farlie (Tommy Boy) Michael Richards (seinfelds Kramer) and Judd Nelson (Breakfast Club) as just bonuses! The movie tells a far fetched yet enjoyable tale of a band trying to get there big break by forcing a radio station at gun point to play their song... but everything that can go wrong will go wrong! The dvd is amazing quality and wonderful sound and has a few cool bonus features like trailers for 3 Brendan Frasier films, several different trailers for Airheads itself and a mocumentary style promo... very entertaining and at this price a great addition to anyones collection!Movie Review: Light hearted heavy metal fun
Summary: 5 Stars
A surprisingly good comedy movie thats funnier than it should be that deserves a spot next to Spinal Tap in any metalhead's movie library. Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler star as a band called the Lone Rangers, who determined to get their demo heard, take a radio station hostage with water pistols. What results is so stupid its hilarious and Adam Sandler is great as the dumbfounded drummer. The ensemble cast also includes Joe Mantagna, Michael McKean, Chris Farley, Ernie Hudson, Judd Nelson, Michael Richards, David Arquette, and Harold Ramis. Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead also makes an appearence as the guy who says he used to be editor of his school newspaper and White Zombie appears in the club scene.
