I love this movie, and it's virtually unheard of! It has two big stars: Tim Robbins and John Cusack, as two unemployed friends who start a music video production company, and the craziness that occurs along the way. It's really fun and entertaining, and very funny. It's one of... read more
John Cusak's stash is the funniest thing I've seen on a human being. This movie is another buddy 80's movie and if you don't enjoy those then you probably won't like this. It does have a lot of heart and Mike Myers pretty much stole this idea for Wayne's World and gets ZERO credit.
Great comedy film about 80's music video production. Another good one is "The Big Picture".
The movie itself is all over the place, but still enjoyable; mostly due to the great chemistry between Cusack and Robbins in 'before they made it big' roles.
This was something I'm ashamed to say that I waited this long to check out!
Cusack and Robbins as the two buddies trying to get a music video career going is amusingly dated now, but so much fun to watch. The rise of their career and involvement in a political scandal is also v... read more
Ivan and Josh have grown up together, playing ball and being co-named the most likely to succeed. But, they haven't succeeded, by their standards - not yet. They leave their jobs as security guards after getting caught having and videotaping a party on the premises. Videotaping, ... read more
This movie is horrible and stupid. It makes no sense how the two main characters can afford to make any videos and how they even know how to use any effects, since they do not have a computer around. I don't know, I just lost interest instantly in this cheesy, stupid movie. Th... read more
"Everybody loves Menudo!" (and John Cusack and Tim Robbins). Look for Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys at the end.
One of the funniest frickin' movies I've ever seen that also contains one of the funniest frickin' TV COMMERCIALS I've ever seen. How can you beat that?
The amiable screenplay by Mr. Fishman and Peter McCarthy is often funny, and never worse than silly. Full Review
The irony is that nothing Fishman and his cohorts have come up with is really as funny as a two-hour slice of MTV itself. Full Review
All of these elements have been lifted off the shelf of exhausted cliches, given a quick dusting, and plugged directly into the movie. Full Review
Ignored both at the cinema and on tape, this is a gem that is as happy sending up the music video world as it is poking fun at politics. Full Review
A wacky, high-energy satire of the music business. Full Review
It's the kind of harmless breezy film that's easy to take on late night cable TV when you don't feel like using your noodle. Full Review
Silly fun.
Tapeheads plays with the same kind of off-kilter energy that Repo Man has, but lacks the complete abandon of the former. Full Review
It's all good fun: likeable performances, unpretentious, larky direction, and a haphazard story. Full Review
