If you've already read the other reviews for this movie, you probably know the plot by now. What you probably don't realize is that it's actually quite intelligent for a movie about an unsigned rock band consisting of three 'airheads'. Throughout the film, interesting points are made about music and the recording industry. However, it's still a comedy and it delivers a fair share of laughs. 'Airheads' stars Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler as the members of The Lone Rangers, as well as Chris Farley, Michael McKean, Judd Nelson, Michael Richards, Joe Mantegna, and David Arquette, plus cameo appearances by MTV reporter Kurt Loder, Motorhead front man Lemmy, and even Mike Judge as the voices of Beavis and Butthead. It also features a rockin' soundtrack including music by Aerosmith, Anthrax, Primus, and The Ramones, not to mention a cover of Van Halen's "I'm The One" by 4 Non Blondes. In fact, the bonus features include two great music videos. The first is White Zombie's "Feed The Gods". The second is "Born To Raise Hell" by Motorhead featuring Ice-T and Whitfield Crane, which includes a minimal amount of rapping. The other main bonus feature is a documentary of sorts which presents the plot of the movie as a news report, using clips from the movie as well as new footage. Overall, 'Airheads' is a great movie for fans of hard rock or anyone who enjoys a good laugh. |
