Spinal Tap it ain't, but Michael Lehmann's good-natured comedy of errors, about a garage band whose unannounced visit to a local radio station escalates into a hostage situation, is pleasant diversion with a fair share of laughs. Brendan Fraser plays the singer-songwriter of the unknown heavy metal band the Lone Rangers, a trio of socially challenged musicians rounded out by dimwitted but sweet bass player Adam Sandler and aging drummer/toy-store employee Steve Buscemi--who just happens to be packing a lifelike toy machine gun from work. Needless to say, the friendly visit is misinterpreted as a hostile takeover, but all the Lone Rangers want is to play their music on the air--and they sabotage themselves again by destroying their own demo tape! Joe Mantegna plays a burned-out deejay who tries to help the muddled metalheads as the media surrounds the building and asks the question on everyone's lips: "How can you be the Lone Rangers if you're always together?" --Sean Axmaker
DVD Description
Unsigned and unknown, an unequivocal rock n roll band take matters into their own hands - it was the music that made them do it.

Format:VHS Tape
Starring Brendan Fraser (The Mummy) as 'Chas', a down on his luck wannabe rock star. Who, along with his two band mates, Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs) and Adam Sandler, (Wedding Singer) decides to break into the local radio station (using realistic water pistols) so that their song can be aired. What follows is a night of madness, as the band take possession of the airwaves, crowds of people flock to the station to witness the fun and the police (led by ex-ghostbusters, Ernie Hudson & Harold Ramis) have to comply to a series of crazy demands in exchange for the hostages, several of which are unwilling to leave the 'party'.

The cast is brilliant, Steve Buscemi, Adam Sandler, Brendan Fraser, the guy from 'Spinal Tap' whose name escapes me! The story is nothing new but no less entertaining for it. The jokes are still funny after you've watched the movie 10 times, I just love this film!!! If you're a fan of rock music of any description and have a sense of humour I can't really see any reason that you wont love it too. Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi are on especially good form in this wacky, outrageous rock n roll adventure. Go buy it now!!!

I am sorry but if you dont enjoy this film you must have had a sense of humour bypass operation when you were younger. The cast is great, the story superb and the music excellent. A film you will keep coming back to when you need to put a smile on your face!!

Unfortunately there are not intermittent points in between the star ratings as i don't feel this film is as bad as a two star film, yet it it really isn't worthy of three stars. Read more

Hilariously Funny
In the best grunge and destroy tradition of the early 1990s, this film accumulates provocations and insolence. Read more

Don't buy it
Dire, absolutely dire. Don't let the cast list fool you into thinking this must be a funny film, because it honestly rates as one of worst films I have ever seen. Read more
