Simply Perfect
Memorable, crazy movie
Admirable film.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Remember that string of "Die Hard" clones in the '90s? This one takes a turn for the peculiar. "Airheads" has go to be one of the most goofy movies I can remember, but it does have something to say about the music industry. And if the humor were a bit more focused, this would be hilarious.Still, I can think of much worse ways to blow 90 minutes. Adam Sandler hasn't been this funny in decades; and between the sudden appearances of Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramis and Nakatomi Plaza herself, it's the little things that make this worthwhile.6/10
Three wannabe rock and roll stars who call themselves the Lone Rangers head down to the KPPX radio station to play their demo tape. It becomes too much of a hassle, and they wind up holding the station hostage with fake guns that are filled with hot sauce. This has a terrific cast that produces mediocre results. It's not their fault in all honesty, they just have nothing to work with. The idea is fairly original and definitely somewhat brazen. They just aren't able to take a cool concept and turn it into a good movie. It never truly bored me. I just felt it should have been a hell of a lot better than it was. I wouldn't call this a direct spoof of Die Hard, though it does seem to be influenced by it heavily. KPPX is near the Fox Plaza, which incidentally is the Nakatomi Plaza in Die Hard. Even Kramer himself, Michael Richards attempts to portray the hero with his bumbling ways. It's Michael Richards, so anything he does is amusing. I'll also give it credit for explaining how obsolete rock and roll was becoming at this juncture. It was slowly but surely being taken over by pop and stuff. The performances are just fine, though it's pretty hard to empathize with any of these guys. They are obnoxious jerks. Brendan Fraser does well as the leader of the group. His on and off relationship with Amy Locane (Kayla) did become a tad redundant after a while. Steve Buscemi steals every scene he's in with his fun performance. Adam Sandler is funny at certain points, annoying in others with his dimwitted shtick. Michael McKean is great in his smug role as Milo. Judd Nelson is hilarious. The finale was so-so with me. I liked that they threw out the idea that if you are persistent enough, you can achieve your dream, but they also inadvertently gave people the wrong idea as well. Final Thoughts: It's thoroughly watchable, I just didn't care for it. There were far too many misses for my liking. Despite a great cast, I'd have to give this one a thumbs down for the most part. It's worth a watch, I just felt it should have been better5.3/10
I saw this flick in the theaters way back (1994). I'm a band guy, not professionally, but it eats up a lot of my time as a hobby and every so often I like to revisit some movies having to do with music. On a positive note, I still love the music and the amount of rocker cameos and a huge cast of "Oh HEY...isn't that...?" to be found in Airheads. But on a second viewing via Netflix, the negatives kind of balance out the positives and I give this movie a solid 5. The story left me frustrated and the comedy was eh. This movie could have been so much more. It could have been a classic, instead...it's kinda embarrassing. Stick to swinging in the trees Brendon.
I saw that movie and it was Hilarius. Brendan Fraser as Chester 'Chazz' Darvey is Hilarius and his scared when they try to run out of here. Steve Buscemi as Rex is funny. Adam Sandler as Pip is hysterical. Chris Farley as Officer Wilson was perfect. Michael McKean as Milo Jackson is brilliant. Amy Locane as Kayla is not very that nice to Chazz in Airheads. Nina Siemaszko as Suzzi is cute. The music is excellent and when The Lone Rangers play tonight outside. This story is when Chazz to breaks in the Radio Station and then never has Kayla any more because Chazz musics are worthless. This movie is Hilarius you will like the cast and also the movie except some nonsense.
