Review of Airheads (1994) by Lorenzo V — 17 Dec 2008
"The music. The legend. The hostage situation.".
A hapless rock trio consisting of Chazz (Brendan Fraser), Rex (Steve Buscemi), and Pip (Adam Sandler) hits a brick wall with their attempts to get their demo tape played by record label executives. Chazz, on the edge since being thrown out by his girlfriend (Amy Locane), decides it's time to take more serious action, and he leads his bandmates on a mission to invade the local "alternative" rock station, KPPX, and hold it hostage to get the band's tape played on the air. The station staffers don't realize that they're being held with a water gun, and when they finally agree to play the tape, it gets eaten up by a faulty machine.
Review.
Although grunge is long and gone, one can look back at this movie and still love it. Almost fourteen years old and it still cracks me up. Now with the fact that all the main characters are stars (including the blonde-haired David Arquette) it would be impossible to get them all to star in it today. God bless the pairing of Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler.
