It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The movie is awesome! Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler all show great chemistry together. Follow that up with endless cameos from a couple of Ghost Busters, Lemmy, Kramer, Farley, Rob Zombie etc etc, and you've got yourself a great cast. The jokes are well written and unforced. Though childish at some moments,(But aren't we all sometimes) this movie keeps the laughs coming. You can really tell that the actors and the writers loved the music they were writing about. The detail and thought put in to it is very commendable. Right down to some of the lesser known metal band stickers inside the Lone Rangers tour vehicle/pool cleaning van. It may be over 20 years old but the plot is still pretty relevant. Watch this movie if you haven't already.

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.

Airheads (1994)Review: Airheads is a good movie. This is a comedy but the movie's strength is through the music and knowledge of the music as well.The casting is fine. Brendan Fraser is pretty good as Chazz. Steve Buscemi is awesome as Rex. Adam Sandler on the other hand felt awkward here. While Fraser and Buscemi seemed to enjoy there roles, Sandler felt off key. He was not bad, just unbalanced if you will. However the plot is fine. Three frustrated musicians hold a radio station hostage to finally play their demo. The demo gets fried and all hell breaks loose. Their is some nice humor here and some fine acting. We get other nice appearances by Mike McKean and Judd Nelson as well.What works is the gathering of all the metal-heads outside the station in unified glory to the freedom of true radio. Run by people like them. I also liked the band stickers inside the band's van. All sorts of true underground metal bands to be noticed on the wall of that van! The knowledge of metal is well put. I LOVED it when Chazz insulted the Seattle grunge scene! (As he called it, Seattle bull s**t) Wonderful. This movie knows that all rock music is not the same thing!The movie is filled with great music and some nice comedy to boot. An appearance by White Zombie was also excellent too. Be sure to check out a cameo by none other than Lemmy! If you are metal, you know who i'm talking about!The Last Word: Killer music! All metal-heads unite! This is the movie that takes metal more seriously. Fun times. Airheads rocks!

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.
