Airheads
- The Lone Rangers (Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi) have heavy-metal dreams and a single demo tape they can't get anyone to play. The solution: Hijack an AM rock station and hold the deejays hostage until they agree to broadcast the band's tape. Sandler's "Saturday Night Live" cohorts Chris Farley and Michael McKean round out the cast, along with Judd Nelson, Amy Locane and David Arquette.

Observing how fertile the field of heavy metal music is for satire, it's disappointing to watch Airheads bumble around, desperately trying to find something funny to say. full review
James Berardinelli, ReelViewsThe anarchic saga could have used more bite or the hint of a threat just to keep things interesting. full review
Leonard Klady, VarietyThere should have been enough material here for six sitcoms. Instead, there's not even enough for one movie. full review
Janet Maslin, New York TimesFraser and Buscemi are deadpan delights. And Sandler, Opera Man on SNL, is a red-hot screen find.
Peter Travers, Rolling StoneEven Beavis and Butt-head get to call in their critique. Naturally, they think the Lone Rangers suck. full review
Richard Harrington, Washington PostOn the whole, Airheads is heavily entertaining. full review
Kevin McManus, Washington PostA spoof of heavy-metal culture that at the same time respects the vitality and pent-up passion behind it. full review
