For years everyone told me that Brendan Fraser movies were bad and this movie proves they all lied.Weirdly,people always say that Adam Sandler movies are always great yet this is the only one that really is,and Sandler has a tiny part.This movie is just awesome.It's funny and has a great story with lots of cameos,Lemmy,Kramer,Stuttering John,Chris Farley and tons more.The one thing that doesn't really make sense is that it's a decade late and no one ever noticed.They are a very 1984 band in a 1994 movie.Hair metal was long dead by 1994,MTV was playing Rancid,not Winger.If you're into those terrible Sandler movies where he crams in all his friends and nothing funny ever happens,you might not like this movie but you will see why he keeps making work for Steve Buscemi.This is one of the best movies ever.

Chazz Darvey (Brendan Fraser) is desperate to get his band heard by the record companies. His angry violent girlfriend Kayla (Amy Locane) has enough and throws him out. He moves in with The Lone Rangers bandmates Rex (Steve Buscemi) and Pip (Adam Sandler). The three idiots try to get their music played by the DJ (Joe Mantegna). Station manager Milo (Michael McKean) try to kick them out and the boys pull out their fake guns. Things spiral out of control.This movie is an OK little comedy. It's funniest when the guys turn stupid. Adam Sandler is a fun idiot. He is hilarious. Chris Farley steals a few scenes. There is also Michael Richards crawling around. This works best when people are acting completely stupid which happens quite a few times.

Three wannabe rock and roll stars who call themselves the Lone Rangers head down to the KPPX radio station to play their demo tape. It becomes too much of a hassle, and they wind up holding the station hostage with fake guns that are filled with hot sauce. This has a terrific cast that produces mediocre results. It's not their fault in all honesty, they just have nothing to work with. The idea is fairly original and definitely somewhat brazen. They just aren't able to take a cool concept and turn it into a good movie. It never truly bored me. I just felt it should have been a hell of a lot better than it was. I wouldn't call this a direct spoof of Die Hard, though it does seem to be influenced by it heavily. KPPX is near the Fox Plaza, which incidentally is the Nakatomi Plaza in Die Hard. Even Kramer himself, Michael Richards attempts to portray the hero with his bumbling ways. It's Michael Richards, so anything he does is amusing. I'll also give it credit for explaining how obsolete rock and roll was becoming at this juncture. It was slowly but surely being taken over by pop and stuff. The performances are just fine, though it's pretty hard to empathize with any of these guys. They are obnoxious jerks. Brendan Fraser does well as the leader of the group. His on and off relationship with Amy Locane (Kayla) did become a tad redundant after a while. Steve Buscemi steals every scene he's in with his fun performance. Adam Sandler is funny at certain points, annoying in others with his dimwitted shtick. Michael McKean is great in his smug role as Milo. Judd Nelson is hilarious. The finale was so-so with me. I liked that they threw out the idea that if you are persistent enough, you can achieve your dream, but they also inadvertently gave people the wrong idea as well. Final Thoughts: It's thoroughly watchable, I just didn't care for it. There were far too many misses for my liking. Despite a great cast, I'd have to give this one a thumbs down for the most part. It's worth a watch, I just felt it should have been better5.3/10

Hi IMDb, The amazon guy said Pip was the bass player, that is Adam Sandler's character and Steve Buscemi, Rex, was the drummer. It is of course the other way around. It pays to stay awake during the movie. Okay, I liked this movie and had it been "R" rated maybe we would have seen Suzzi's (Nina Siemaszko) ta-tas, that would have been shweet! Amy Locane is too skinny. Also, I will watch anything with Steve Buscemi in it. Nice to see Harold Ramis pop up there also. I am 53 but I like the music. The DVD has two videos from the movie, Motorhead and White Zombie. The featurette is idiotic and a waste of time. Lots of up and comers in here and of course the late, "great" Chris Farley. Thanks IMDb and keep up the good work.
