This is still one of my favorite Adam Sandler (Mr. Deeds) movies and it takes place in a place I love and that's the Radio station. It's the story of Chaz (Brendan Fraser), a down and out wannabe rock star who just got kicked out of his apartment. So, he and his band mates the brothers Rex (Steve Buscemi) and Pip (Sandler) decide that their going to go into the local station and hold it up until they play the song. Three problems with that, 1) is the machine ends up eating their tape, 2) the cops are outside waiting to bust them, and 3) Chaz's pissed off girlfriend Kayla (Amy Locane) has the other copy. Everyone is patient while the negotiator (Ernie Hudson) trys to meet their demands and the band seems to grow on the DJ Ian (Joe Mantegna). It becomes absolute madness for the whole movie while the late Chris Farley (Tommy Boy) plays a cop trying to find Chaz's girlfriend for the tape. So things start to look up for the band known as "The Lone Rangers" when Jimmy Wing (Judd Nelson) a record executive looks to sign the band just based on the publicity and it's everything the band wanted until they say they want to do it there way and they tell him to screw. The movie also stars Michael McKean (This Is Spinal Tap) as the station GM Milo, Nina Siemaszko (Suicide Kings) as Suzy, Marshall Bell (Stand By Me) as Swat Man Carl Mace, a young pre-scream David Arquette (Scream) as one of the station workers, Kramer himself Michael Richards (Seinfeld) as Doug Beech, and cameos by Stuttering John himself Jon Melendez as the masturbating rocker, Harold Ramis (Ghostsbusters) as a informant, Mike Judge as the voices of Beavis and Butthead, and Rob Zombie and his former band White Zombie make a cameo appearance in the film. I give the movie a B+ for originality.
