Review of Tapeheads (1988) by Tyrone H — 14 Nov 2010
I'd forgotten just how silly films got in the 80's. This is a film about 2 misfits making their way in the early days of music video TV. As with most 80's films, the fashions are crazy, the music mainly rubbish and the humour is telegraphed and juvenile and the film, like many from that period has not dated that well.
That said it is the chrisma and chemistry of the two leads, two of my favourte actors, Robbins and Cusak, which ensure that this is overall an enjoyable watch. Throw in a bit of Doug McClure and a few really funny set peices and i'll probably revisit this at some time in the future.
