Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
John Cusack and Tim Robbins star as Ivan Alexov and Josh Tager, security officers who lose their jobs and decide to put together their own company producing videos. After taping a bunch of odd assignments including a fluke music video that is tremendously successful, they unknowingly have taken a private video of a politician who hopes for presidential election. This leads to Secret Service involvement, and chaos ensues. Another film, Bob Roberts, is a film spun from the conservative politician/singer character in Tapeheads which also sports Tim Robbins in a leading role. Featuring a healthy soundtrack and cameos of various music-industry celebs, this comedic romp was directed by ex-music video man Bill Fishman.
