This movie is one of many that some people call a “hidden treasure.” It’s not an extremely well-known movie, but it deserves more credit than it receives. The actors did very commendable jobs, the movie personifies most musicians of that time, and this is simply put the best comedy of its kind since “Wayne’s World” (1992). The only drawback to this movie is that the story is barely believable even for a comedy.
Actors for “Airheads” gave commendable performances through the whole movie. The main cast members were both funny and convincing; they didn’t stop the greatness of their characters even once. Even the secondary cast, who played the less important characters, gave noteworthy performances. Viewers can find themselves liking the less important characters just as much as they like the lead roles.
In addition to the actors’ performances, the movie itself easily personifies most musicians of that time and musical genre. The performances and script shows character traits and dialects that are true to that time and style. The story epitomizes the rebellious scene of the eighties and nineties Californian musicians’ life, and heavily coats it with wacky comedy.
As far as the comedy of this film goes, it is amazingly entertaining. This is definitely the best “goofy buddy” comedy since “Wayne’s World.” It’s full of wacky, hilarious moments and almost slapstick humor. However many good things there are to this movie, there is one very bad factor. The story is barely believable even for a comedy; there is no way that most of the stuff in the movie could actually happen in real life.
My overall rating: 3.5 out of 5
