This movie is very light hearted. It is funny to look back to the real start up of the careers of Fraser, Bushemi, and Sandler!Movie Review: We Want the Airwaves!
Summary: 3 Stars
Chester (Brendan Fraser) is living the rockers life... except without the money. Try and try as he might, he just can't get anyone to listen to his demo of his band `The Lone Rangers'. `The Lone Rangers' is a heavy rock band that includes himself, and his two friends who are brothers, Rex (Steve Buscemi) and Pip (Adam Sandler). Taking things into his own hands, Chester decides to sneak into the local rock radio station to see if he can get his demo played there. Mainly because another rock band got their demo played their and became a success. When they won't do it, Rex (who works at a toy store) whips out a machine gun and orders them to play the tape. What everyone (but the band and us) doesn't know is that it's a toy machine gun filled with Tabasco sauce. They round up everyone working at the station, but what the rockers don't know is that they were on air the whole time, so now the cops have the place surrounded, as well as a huge crowd of `fans'. All they want is their demo played and someone to hear it, to bad they ruin the copy they bring to the station.
After not having seen this movie for many years, I would say it's still pretty darn funny. There were plenty of spots where I still laughed out loud. I'll tell ya what though, Steve Buscemi is a god in this movie. Almost every line he delivers is hilarious and mainly it's because of his sarcastic tone and facial expressions. Also, I know a lot of people who don't like Adam Sandler (why I'll never know), but I think he's pretty funny and actually a good actor in his serious roles. This role though has him playing a smaller part than he's used to now, but he's really funny in this role. The only person I don't care for is Brendan Fraser, but then again I've never really liked him in anything he's played in. Well... cept maybe his role in Scrubs. I liked that role.
In the end I would give this a rent if you want to have some rockin fun.
P.S. - Why do I hate Brendan Fraser so much? I can't even stand him in Encino Man.
Movie Review: didn't age well
Summary: 3 Stars
Oh my, I FEEL like an airhead after watching this movie.
While this film is probably so well-known for featuring a bunch of soon-to-be popular movie stars (or ALREADY stars such as Chris Farley) it's not a particularly funny movie. It's about three guys who hold up a radio station with a squirt gun. Of course the hostages don't realize it's a squirt gun or they'd be OUT of there in a hurry.
The three guys are trying to be rock stars, and want the radio station to play their song by forcing them to do so. Since it's a comedy a bunch of things constantly go wrong for the guys, most of which isn't even funny.
It's a comedy so we won't put too much stock into the things in the storyline that defy logic. Instead it's important to note that despite being tagged a comedy movie, it's anything but.
Something funny to me is something that makes me, you know, LAUGH. I didn't laugh hardly at all except for one scene near the end when a tied-up hostage on a chair tried making his escape and a squirt gun to the face was waiting for him. That was the only funny moment of the entire movie.
The one guy who managed to avoid being a hostage by escaping through the vent system in the ceiling wasn't funny. In fact his character was entirely pointless, despite crawling through the vents listening in to people and having his own strange adventures wandering through the vent system.
The negotations with the cops could have been funnier too. There was hardly even any negotiating taking place.
Overall, nah, it shouldn't be considered a classic just because it's an older film now. All the stars in the movie had better roles in other movies.
Movie Review: Eh, bad music but Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler hold it together...

I remember watching this movie on tv years ago and it seemed better than I originally thought. Overall, you could miss this movie and you could go on with life without ever knowing about it.
