Movie Reviews of Airheads
Movie Review: Airheads
Summary: 4 Stars
AIRHEADS is a heavy metal comedy starring Brendan Frasier, Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler. This one is pretty funny. Adam Sandler is a total riot in this one. It's great!Chaz (Fraser), Rax (Buscemi) and Pip (Sandler are The Lone Rangers, a struggling metal band that wants to make it big. After hearing a rumor that a local DJ would play their music if they asked nicely, they go down to the radio station and get totally shot down. They come back with a plan, let's take over the radio but we don't want to hurt anyone so we'll use water guns to hold them up. It's a total head bangin laugh out loud comedy.
This one was pretty funny and it has a pretty good cast with Michael McKean, Michael Richards, Joe Montegna, Chris Farley, Judd Nelson and many more. And a pretty good cameo by Motorhead singer/bassist Lemmy. The laughs in this one just keep coming throughout the film. At first, I questioned if Steve Buscemi could play this role (considering he's older than both Sandler and Fraser and that previously, his best known role was for Mr. Pink in RESERVOIR DOGS). I have to give it to him that he easily hangs with Sandler, Fraser and Farley in this one.
I'd check this one out. It's decent and it's got some really good laughs in it. Plus some really good music in it as well. Check out AIRHEADS and if you're looking for other movies by Fraser, Sandler and Buscemi, check out Fraser in THE MUMMY and THE MUMMY RETURNS, Sandler in HAPPY GILMORE, THE WATERBOY and LITTLE NICKY and Buscemi in RESERVOIR DOGS, CON AIR and Buscemi and Sandler in THE WEDDING SINGER.
Movie Review: Fun-filled Film
Summary: 4 Stars
This mid-90's comedy starring Steve Busceme, Adam Sandler, and Brendan Frasier delivers a fun and entertaining movie for the easy going person looking for great laughs out of a movie. The story goes like this. Our little airhead buddies are having a hard time breaking into the music scene with their rock band "The Lone Rangers". (there are three of them...they're not exactly LONE!!) They come up with a plan and sneak into a Radio Station for some airplay of their demo tape. The manager of the station tries to kick them out and the next thing they know they're holding everyone in the station hostage with realistic looking water pistols. During this time the demo tape gets wasted and Frasier's girlfriend in the movie has the only other copy. But she recently dumped him and is nowhere to be found. Running out of options they choose to stick it out hoping for the other copy of the tape to be found while meanwhile giving the cops crazy demands such as naked pictures of some of the women from the 80's TV show "The Golden Girls" so they can plead insanity if they're caught.
The show, of course not to be taken realistically, is just a great ride of laugh and entertainment from start to finish. And when you finally here their demo song at the end of the movie, its actually not too bad...of course its not really them playing it though.
Movie Review: Entertaining comedy.
Summary: 4 Stars
When a rookie punk rock group ( Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, and Brendon Fraser) are in need of a career as they take over a radio station with realistic looking toy guns and demand to have their song on the air. Unfortunately the police are outside armed and the group decide to take everyone inside hostage so they can get their other demands as well especially a contract between a record company.
Entertaining and quite funny rock and roll satire with good laughs and co-stars Chris Farley, Ernie Hudson, Joe Mantanga, and Michael Richards with a voice appearence by Mike Judge. The movie is a cross between "This is Spinal Tap" and " Die Hard", Sandler and the others do good performances here in this flick, i recommend it if you want a funny and light hearted comedy flick.
The DVD has good picture and sound quality and the extras are trailer, a mockumentary featurette, music videos, TV spots and trailers to other fox movies.
Movie Review: Rock and Party On...
Summary: 4 Stars
Yeah, for some people this maybe a little bit strange movie, but at the time i saw it it was right when i was with my band demo looking for radio stations to play it,.. so looking to this guys was like looking to me and my band at that time.If you are a hard rock musician, or were, you will have a lot of fun looking to this movie, have great stuff and footage, white zoombie playing, Lammie as guest,... the girls, the sound(no grunge and drop dead music, only party rock music),.. have some vein of Waynes World, but a little different. I just dont give 5 star cause im not a professional reviewer, so who am i to give 1 or 5 star?... to finish this is the kinda a movie that every rocker lover want to have like Waynes World collection, Bill & Ted collection, Detroit Rock city or Dont Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead,.. all rock&roll cool movies.
Movie Review: 'Airheads' (20th Century Fox) Running time: 92 minutes
Summary: 4 Stars
Main reason I'm giving this 1994 movie a four-star rating is for the numerous good lines / scenes that occured through out the film. Plot involved a power metal trio - the Lone Rangers - Chester (Brendan Fraser), Rex (Steve Buscemi) and Pip (Adam Sandler) who scheme to take a local radio station - Rebel Radio and it's staff hostage to secure a record contract. Personally, I tought it was a scream - the couple of scenes that featured Officer Wilson (the late Chris Farley). Definitely makes for a fun time, when you're hanging out on a weekend at a friend's house with a keg. Drink up!
