The Lone Rangers is Plural, There's Three of You, You Aren't Exactly Lone

This isn't a varey realistic movie but it is fun. It sort of belongs on the shelf next to "Wayne's World". By this time the basic premise ( I hesitate to say "plot") is well known.
Chazz Darvey, singer guitarist for "The Lone Rangers" (a running joke throughout)has a fight with his beautiful blond but irritated live in girlfriend, Kayla, who has become increasingly digusted that she does all the work and pays all the bills while Chazz is unemployed and unsuccessful in his quest to become a full time musician. After one fight too many she literally throws him out of the apartment and Chazz shows at the home of bandmates Pip and Rex. Pip runs a pool cleaning service and Rex works in a toy warehouse which has just discontinued a line of water pistols for looking too authentic. Rex confiscates a fewe for himself which he plans to use to blast people in the face on his next trip down Hollywood Boulevard. Chazz has other plans and basically decides that if the band can just get three minutes of airplay on the radio it would make a difference in their careers as musicians. The three are unable to get electronic security door to open and while Rex and Chazz decide to try the roof, goofball Pip is knocked in the head by dumb blonde secretary Suzzi (with 2 z's) who has decide to sneak a cigarette outside the station. After Suzzi goes back inside the 3 manage to stop the door from going shut and they're in. They make their way into the control both where they are greeted by DJ Ian "The Shark" and who turns the mic on them as they request to be heard on the air. Ian is about to honor their request when the tape malfunctions causing the tape to land in an ashtray instead of the take up reel. The tape is needless to say beyond repair. Somewhere in the midst of all of this confusion, the program director demands that three leave the station immediately and refers to Rex as "Hollywood Boulevard trash". Rex pulls the water gun loaded with pepper spray as does Chazz. The water guns look like Uzi's and the radio station panics at a hotage situation, and the band panics realizing they are now not only unemployed musicians but also are felons. The police are on the outside of the building trying to negotiate with the "kidnappers" and staff and faculty on the inside having a party while Chazz and friends try to figure a way out of this mess. Meanwhile, the station is broadcasting the whole thing over the airwaves all over L.A. to an audience that thinks this is just a publicity stunt. If this sounds ridiculous, it is. It's also funny as Hell. The whole thing finally ends when Kayla shows up at the station with an alternate copy of the demo and record company execs race to sign the band, who wind up making their first album live in prison.
This whole movie pretty much requires that you suspend any belief in anything realistic. If you can accomplish that then you'll probably enjoy this. Cameo by Beavis and Butthead should tell you something about the level of realism herein. Also Lemmy as a fan in parking lot, as well as Motorhead tune in the opening.

Fun & entertaining

This movie is very light hearted. It is funny to look back to the real start up of the careers of Fraser, Bushemi, and Sandler!

Eh, bad music but Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler hold it together...

I remember watching this movie on tv years ago and it seemed better than I originally thought. Overall, you could miss this movie and you could go on with life without ever knowing about it.
