 Rated 7/10
Quite a cult bad-ish movie, now pretty hard to find a DVD of.

Found the DVD of this a couple of days ago, and I haven't seen it since release, but had fond memories if it, so was pleased to watch it again.

It's not aged entirely well, humour wise, but neither has it aged tremendously badly...

...It's hokey, goofy, dumb fun, taking the Mickey out of the kind of metal heads of the time as they stage a kind of Spinal tap-lite do a Dog Day Afternoon style ambush / hostage scenario on a local radio station just so they can get their music heard by the masses.

It's a perfect companion piece in tone and style to Empire Records and the like, so if that's too dumb for you, you won't probably like this, but if you do, you'll like this as well, I'd say.

The inexplicably over-rated "talents" of both Adam Sandler and Chris Farley are in this, but mercifully (by their own standards) are quite conservative performances, so don't grate too much... And what the hell is Steve Buscemi doing in this role?... who knows, but he is quite good.

Bevis and Butthead also make a brief cameo.

Charmingly awful and crap, but I still enjoy it :)
