Summary: I don't want to go jail man i'm fragile
Review: Before "George of the Jungle" and Before "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" Brendon Friaser and Steve Busimice started in "Airheads"

A great comedy about three well meaning but Naive musicians who in order to break it into the big time decide to hold a radio station hostage. They have to keep track of both a bored DJ and a stuck up station manager, they are also being cheered on by a crowd of fellow rockers who have gathered outside of the station.

My impression-This movie is funny it also a Meca of great Metal Music hits of the early 90's if I could find the soundtrack I would buy it. I recommend this movie to all

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The guy whipes his record contract with his...
Review: I find Airheads the best movie I have seen in a long time, it will live on forever, and anyone who says otherwise can just give me a record contract so I can whipe me [...] with it, ok Pip (Adam Sandler) and Fraiser and Rex are in this band called The Lone Rangers (The Lone Rangers, there are three of you you arn't excatly lone, shouldn't you be the three rangers?) and they high jack KPPX where the music never stops, alot of rock and roll songs and they acctually don't suck, this is a great movie, not one for the kids but hey, I'm not one to complain

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not An Academy Awards Dished Out Here
Review: A largely forgettable movie (and deservedly so), AIRHEADS coulda been a contender. It had some box office draws before they were relative heavyweights (Adam Sandler, Brendon Fraser, and Steve Buscemi). It had a great comic premise surrounding a wannabe rock band taking over a radio station for the sole purpose of airing their demo tape. It even had some nice little performances from the supporting characters. How did a little film with such potential end up so uneven?

Two words: didn't gel.

The greater comic moments are brushed aside in a quick moving tale that, ultimately, ends up being about nothing more than jilted love ... but isn't that the driving force behind all wannabe heavy metal bands?

Maybe that's why I don't enjoy heavy metal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm wanna be a rockstar, but...on my own terms!
Review: 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)!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poor Movie.
Review: This movie is a waste of time and money. It's not funny. Bad Acting and bad Directing. Don't see it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT MUSIC COMEDY
Review: THIS MOVIE STARTS OUT WITH A BAND TRIO CALLED "THE LOAN RANGERS" (NO, I DIDN'T MAKE A MISTAKE). FUNNY NAME. LOL. ANYWAYS THEY ARE DESPERATE TO GET THEIR MUSIC HEARD ON THE RADIO AND GET A RECORD CONTRACT. SO THEY HOLDUP A LOCAL RADIO STATION THAT STARTS TO GET CROWDED OUTSIDE WITH THEIR FANS. THEY HAVE A BUNCH OF FUNNY DILEMAS. THE FUNNY THING IS THEY ARE HOLDING UP THE STATION WITH WATER GUNS FILLED WITH PEPPER SAUCE. HA HA. THIS MOVIE IS GREAT!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun-filled Film
Review: 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.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dumbful but Playful Comedy.
Review: A group of Amateur Heavy Metal Band named The Long Rangers (Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Adam Sandler), they try to give thier music cassette to a Radio Host (Joe Mantegna). But everything falls apart, when the Amateur Band take over The Radio Station and Taken people Hostage from inside the Radio Station.

This film has some moment of laugh out situation comedy here. Fraser, Buscemi and Sandler are fun in this film. Great Rock & Roll music, Directed by Micheal Lehmann (Hudson Hawk, The Truth about Cats & Dogs, My Giant), Dumb fun. Grade:B+.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this movie rocks
Review: This movie is really funny. If you like rocken roll movies with a twist of comedy you will Love this movie. If you did not like happy gilmore or billy madison you probably wont like this movie beause you will think it's another stupid movie by adam sandler. so if want to laugh buy this movie.ROCK ON.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Amazon needs a rating system
Review: The previous reviews failed to mention the Adam Sadler nude scene or all the crassness and vulgarity. All of which ruin this movie. I guess they forgot to hire writers and had to resort to very little dialogue mixed with a lot of swearing.

Amazon needs a rating system that will warn people about the level of sex and language in a movie. If they had I would have saved my money and spent it on something worthwhile. This movie should have been rated R.
