Review of Airheads (1994) by Angela P — 16 Dec 2018
The premise of Airheads sounds promising. Three musicians of limited intelligence (Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler) break into a radio station and hold the DJ (Joe Mantegna) and manager (Michael McKean) at gunpoint to get their demo played.
Things go wrong, however, and when the police show up, the "Lone Rangers" have to take hostages. One problem, though- their real-looking weapons are water pistols. Despite a chuckle here and there, most of Airheads isn't worth the film it was processed on.
It requires an effort to avoid gritting one's teeth as obvious comic opportunities are allowed to pass by untouched. Final consensus: Considering the poor quality of the production in general, and the screenplay in particular, Airheads appears to be an apt title.
