Parents' Guide to Airheads

Parents need to know that Airheads is a comedy with strong language -- including homophobic slurs -- and sexual references. A trio of failed rock musicians, led by Chazz (Brendan Fraser), break into a local radio station in an attempt to get their single played. While flawed, Chazz generally has good intentions, but his ambition does result in him mistreating his girlfriend. There is some gender and ethnic diversity, with White characters' misunderstanding of others lived experience generally played for comic effect, most notably by drummer Pip (Adam Sandler) as he attempts to relate to Black culture. During the band's eventual stand-off with the police there is some gunfire, but most of the violent incidents are played for laughs. A photo briefly shows someone posing in a thong bikini, while the one sex scene is neither graphic nor prolonged, with no explicit nudity. Language is fairly constant though, with one use of "f--k" and homophobic slurs including "f--got." The band dream of stardom and enjoy some material gain, but making music remains the most important thing to them, although others are shown as being much more cynical. Characters drink and smoke socially. While some crowd scenes are rowdy, no explicit drunkenness is shown.
