Best fun when Airheads are silly

Chazz Darvey (Brendan Fraser) is desperate to get his band heard by the record companies. His angry violent girlfriend Kayla (Amy Locane) has enough and throws him out. He moves in with The Lone Rangers bandmates Rex (Steve Buscemi) and Pip (Adam Sandler). The three idiots try to get their music played by the DJ (Joe Mantegna). Station manager Milo (Michael McKean) try to kick them out and the boys pull out their fake guns. Things spiral out of control.

This movie is an OK little comedy. It's funniest when the guys turn stupid. Adam Sandler is a fun idiot. He is hilarious. Chris Farley steals a few scenes. There is also Michael Richards crawling around. This works best when people are acting completely stupid which happens quite a few times.

One of the Great 1990s Comedies

Three band members hoping for a big break head to a radio station to play their demo tape and wind up holding everyone hostage with plastic guns when the head DJ is unable to play them.

To say this film is a good one from a critical standpoint is a lie, as it is pretty bad in a multitude of ways. But as far as 1990s comedies go, or films connected to "Saturday Night Live" (this one very loosely),this ranks up there in entertainment value.

If nothing else, the cast sells this -- David Arquette and Michael Richards before their prime. Adam Sandler at his peak. Brendan Fraser in a transition from Pauly Shore to "real" films... and Steve Buscemi? This is just loaded with talent.

The music will not appeal to everyone. Even as a fan of metal, I have to say a lot of the music is not as top-notch as it probably should be.

the "air" up there

"Airheads" is one of those movies that is only targeted at teenage boys. Portraying a band taking a radio station hostage, it's just a series of silly scenes. Although Adam Sandler doesn't get top billing, he was the only cast member whom I recognized when I first saw the movie (I've since learned the names of several other cast members). I'm not sure which scene was my favorite, although the scene of the middle fingers on TV were a hoot, as were the parts with the guy walking through the ducts, and the scenes of the demo tape.

The whole cast whom I recognized consists of Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Michael McKean, Judd Nelson, Ernie Hudson, Amy Locane, David Arquette, Michael Richards and Joe Mantegna. To paraphrase that: the man battling the mummy, America's indie flick star, Billy Madison, Matt Foley, the "LaVerne and Shirley" co-star, the "Breakfast Club" hoodlum, Winston Zeddemore from "Ghostbusters", the "Cry-Baby" girlfriend, Deputy Dewey from the "Scream" trilogy, Kramer from "Seinfeld", and Fat Tony from "The Simpsons". A hilarious movie.

So is "Lone Rangers" grammatically incorrect?
