Tapeheads Reviews
Were the 80s really like this?
I hate to give a movie like this a star rating, simply because it veers somewhere between 1 star--for its chaotic script and annoying moments--and 5 stars for such great bits as the dinner and love making scene between Cusack's character and his date, a vampish blackmailer. At one point, he accidentally sets himself on fire while sipping drinks, and he later receives fellatio in a cemetery. It's that kind of movie. The plot doesn't matter. Only the gags do. They come so fast that you might need to watch this one twice. Made in 1988, Tapeheads seems to mock the excess of the 80s by being extremely excessive. It's not as funny as something like Airplane!, but it has the same manic energy and goofy confidence. Clearly, it's not for all tastes. Reviewers commonly cop-out and say that a movie is "X meets Y" (i.e., Kill Bill is Fist Full of Dollars meets Enter the Dragon, or some such). Allow me a similar cop-out. This movie is something like the Blues Brothers meets Weird Al Yankovich (who makes an appearance here if you can believe it). Tapeheads's problem, however, might not be a lack of orginality, but too much (to lift a line from Sunset Boulevard). As Johnny would say, this is "weird, wild stuff."
John and Tim two funny guys
I came by this movie by accident at Kmart. I am a big John Cusack fan so I bought it. We must have watched this movie a dozen or more times. I did become a Swanky Mode fan. The music was fun. The part where they film the video was crazy.We laughed through the chicken commercial they made. Anyone who is a Tim Robbins and John Cusack fan will like this movie. My DVD came with the song "Ordinary Man" on a separate disk so we get to relive the music whenever we can. The songs are catchy and fun. ok, just buy it and add it to your collection.
