Chris Myers When i first saw this on Movieplex one Sunday morning, i couldn't turn away from the TV. it was nonstop hilarious. i think this is Brenden Faser's best film. i loved this movie because it stars three comedic guys and its in the 90s and i love 90s movies. after watching this film, it made me wanna go out and start a band. every time i see Steve Buechemi, he is funny but in this movie, he really stands out. i love this movie so much that i'm gonna watch it again! i just cannot express how funny this movie is so you'll have to check it out for yourself. i am so glad that i found this movie because if i didn't, i'd really be missing out on a classic 1994 film.

david-sarkies All I can say is that a movie which stars Brendon Fraser, Steve Buschemi, and Adam Sandler must be good. Actually, when I first saw this movie, I did not know who any of the above were, I just thought that the adds in the cinema looked cool, hired the video, loved it, and finally ended up buying it. Last night when we watched it, we discussed about what memorable nineties comedies were. We concluded that Empire Records, Airheads, and Clueless would leave something very memorable. As for British Comedies, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. I need not say any more. Anyway, Airheads is about three guys who have written what they considered to be a really cool song, but none of the record companies want to hear it. So they try to get it played on the air after breaking into the radio station KBBL Rebel Radio. After an initial refusal, out come some very real looking water pistols. This movie, though seeming very shallow, is actually quite deep. The major theme in this movie is that music is not what we like, but what the record companies want to sell. This is clearly seen when they are in a nightclub watching a band called the Son's of Thunder, whom lost to their band, the Lone Rangers, at a battle of the bands, yet the Son's of Thunder received the contract. Just because music is good does not mean that the record companies are going to sell it. This movie is in fact very scathing of the record industry, and the entertainment industry in particular. They do not want to know this band until they hold up the radio station and gain so much publicity that they can see a lot of money. As such they snatch up the band in an instant, and try to get a contract signed before anybody else does. They are not interested in the song, they simply want the money that their publicity will bring. Chez is completely the opposite. He wants to do it for the music, and the lifestyle. Even though he wants the money, it is the music that's important, and what is more important is that they show their fans that they can play this music and it is not some lame act buy people that are loved playing a song that an unknown wrote. This is seen when Chez uses the contract as toilet paper after learning that it was written up without hearing the song. The other interesting part of this show is the scene where Chez's past is revealed. The SWAT officer tries to turn his popularity against him by revealing that he was a school nerd who played dungeons and dragons. The great thing about this scene is that after mulling over it for a bit, others began to own up to these secret desires, showing that it is not a thing that nerds simply do, and if you have done the things then who really cares anyway. What these guys want is somebody who is real, not some plastered statue created by the record companies to simply sell records. I love this movie. The humor is witty, but it goes beyond simple comedy to really bring out what the essence of music is. Music is what you enjoy, not something to make money. There are so many instances in this movie where this is brought out. Another scene is where Chez is going through the CDs and realises that most of them are not played because the radio station does not want to play them. In this movie we see the struggle between doing something for money and doing something for the love of it. Chez does this because he loves it while the station manager wants the money. If the owners tell him to change, he isn't going to argue because he wants the money and does not care about the music. We see that doing something simply for love in the ends wins people over, because not only do a whole heap of people rock up at the radio station to cheer them on, but people in the radio station take their side as well.

g-bodyl I just got this movie and I really like this film. I was not expecting this to be much, but as usual, I am wrong. This film is about three guys who are in a band and nobody listens to their music. They decide to break in a radio station and take over the place and people as hostages. The acting is excellent and the chemistry is great. Sandler and Buscemi are hilarious. They are the best part of the film. The script and the basic plot line worked well together. I liked the music for the film. I am not a big fan of this kind of music, but somehow Sandler and the gang just made the music work. I recommend this movie for everybody. I rate this film a 9/10.

jason swarts this is an exceptionally funny movie, it has great characters in it like Brendon Frasier, Chris Farley, R.i.P., and Adam Sander its just a funny movie. i like the fact that nobody could figure out the the guns the three guys had fake guns. you might think after a while one of the guys might be able to touch the gun and figure out that it isn't a real gun. and another point i would like to make, i cant really picture Bredon Frasier, Adam Sandler, and Steve Buscheme as rock stars. i also cant picture Chris Farley as a cop. he is a great actor and great comedian, but he might be just a little to big for the cop suit he is put in for the movie.
