Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/domestic violence/character on fire/dog urine.

Storyline/Character [Character developments]/Action/Comedy/Art/Performances: these components combined in one way or another; now after the lead vocalist/guitarist of this band known as The Lone Rangers Chester Ogilvie/better known as "Chazz Darby"  [Brendan Frasier] tries to get his band's demo heard by going in disguise, Palatine Records, but is quickly rumbled but before he gets thrown out again; he finds this Record Executive by the name of Jimmie Wing [Judd Nelson] but he refuses to deal with it based on legal reason of solicitation.

But after seeing what this radio station KPPX Rebel Rock did for Galactic Cowboys [on a quick side note looking down a webpage and another page; this is a real life band.] So Chazz Darby comes up with the idea to take the rest of the band Rex [Steve Buscemi,] bassist and Pip [Adam Sandler,] drummer [Rex and Pip are brothers] to see if they can do the same for them by playing their track live on the air at the KPPX Rebel Rock, but things go from bad to worse as they firstly break-in to this radio station, secondly interrupt Ian "The Shark " DJ at KPPX [Joe Mantegna] with Milo Jackson, the station manager of KPPX [Michael McKean] rapidly escalating things to finally The Lone Rangers take over this radio station. The pacing is smooth and fluently easy-going  based on there is always something going on somewhere; yes there are things that go on that I haven't mentioned.

The character types for this project are easy to identify and settle down with as for an example we have Rex taking the time to teach his brother how to be tough and all business holding his weapon and dealing with their hostages, instead of being his natural soft natured, not the brightest bulb in the box, but a nice guy for the comedy it is of the mature variety [let's be honest this entire film is of the mature righty anyway,] it ranges from this escalating situation and it's madness to cameos which I knew most of them they pop up in this film in some capacity and so much more like what this poor cassette tape goes through in this film.

In the opening credits we have this/these music related items getting used or played like for another example of someone is playing the drums with the title Airheads on it and the drummer begins to play the drums at first not touching the title, but eventually playing the sticks on this title separating the letters and spinning the drums [with Soundtrack Born To Raise Hell by Motörhead & Ice-T & Whitfield Crane] and right at the end of this film we get to see/hear The Lone Rangers perform this song [I would provide you with a track name, but on some research I was unsuccessful/meaning I couldn't find it] and making a music video at the same time with these two backing dancers  Kayla [Chazz's girlfriend/Amy Locane] and Suzzi [Pip's girlfriend/Nina Siemaszko] and now on to the performances there is excellent chemistry throughout this cast

This film receives: 10/10, this film is lots of fun: it is a easy-going film that knows what it is from beginning to end which is a goofy crime film, sadly I would like to take a moment to say this RIP to anyone that is connected to this film that is no longer with us, this film will remind us until the end of time that at one point you were here to bring your something regardless how big or little it was, it doesn't matter you brought it to the table to bring this film to life. But to continue the sadness this film has no Awards currently credit it to its name in any way which is a great shame, because as I have already made reference to it is harmless fun which should have got it some positive Awards credit it to its name be it a Winner or just Nominated it deserves or deserved a positive Award, but you never know someone from an award organisation may look on this film in the future and say "It deserves a little award for its popular culture representation of the 1990s."
