The anarchic saga could have used more bite or the hint of a threat just to keep things interesting.

Airheads
Overview
The Lone Rangers have heavy-metal dreams and a single demo tape they can't get anyone to play. The solution: Hijack an FM rock radio station and hold the deejays hostage until they agree to broadcast the band's tape.

About airheads, and for them, too.

Rotten
There should have been enough material here for six sitcoms. Instead, there's not even enough for one movie.

Fraser and Buscemi are deadpan delights. And Sandler, Opera Man on SNL, is a red-hot screen find.

Rotten
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.
