John Cusack and Tim Robbins are a comedy combo in this lightweight offering from director Bill Fishman. The two play ex-security guards trying to make it as music-video producers and setting their sights on becoming MTV's finest. Given that the film credits every bigwig in the music industry, one might expect more from this sub-Wayne's World series of skits with Cusack and Robbins going from disaster to success. It has a surprisingly dated feel to it and, given the calibre of the two leads, makes for very average viewing. Mike Myers would have made a far better meal of it.
