Editorial Review:

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

• Classic
  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!!

• 2 1/3
  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. As a result, two it will have to be.
  The problem with the film is that it really just doesn't have a lot going on. Whereas some comedies are bad because they are so poorly constructed ('Atttack of the Killer Tomatoes' for instance) some are just not that great because, well they aren't funny enough. This film falls into the... more info

• Hilariously Funny
  In the best grunge and destroy tradition of the early 1990s, this film accumulates provocations and insolence. It is the story of three boys who want to become rock stars in a time when everything is manipulated and negociated behind the back of everyone and even everyone else. Who owns who and vice versa ? Have things really changed ? In those old days they just wanted to push around a little bit and fool around a lot to be seen and admired. The last battle of boys who felt kind of frustrated in this world... more info

• Sorry but this really isn't funny
  I read the other reviews before I bought this, each and everyone said it was a classic and gave it 5 stars. I tried desperately to find this film funny, but apart from the odd moment it really isn't. Adam Sandler is no way near his best, and the dialogue is by and large utter crap. Think long and hard before you part with your cash on this one.
