Critic Reviews
-
Leonard Klady, Variety
The anarchic saga could have used more bite or the hint of a threat just to keep things interesting.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
There should have been enough material here for six sitcoms. Instead, there's not even enough for one movie.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Fraser and Buscemi are deadpan delights. And Sandler, Opera Man on SNL, is a red-hot screen find.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Observing how fertile the field of heavy metal music is for satire, it's disappointing to watch Airheads bumble around, desperately trying to find something funny to say.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
A spoof of heavy-metal culture that at the same time respects the vitality and pent-up passion behind it.
