Movie Recommendation of the Week: Airborne

I’m going to officially go on record in saying that Airborne is easily one of the worst movies of all time.   I’m not even remotely kidding here.  And yet I think all of you have to see it.  You just do.  OK here is the synopsis…

Mitchell Goosen is sixteen/seventeen year old kid from California who loves to surf and roller blade. Yet, his parents, who are two zoologists were given a grant to work in Australia. The only problem was: Mitchell couldn’t go with them. So, he gets sent to stay with his aunt, uncle, and cousin in Cincinnati, Ohio. When he arrives, he meets his cousin who is also his new roommate for the next six months: Wiley. Mitchell then goes to school and gets on the bad side the high school hockey players. Mitchell and Wiley end up enduring weeks of torture from the guys. Then, the big guys and Mitchell and Wiley have to learn to get along to try to beat the Central High School rivals in a competition down Devil’s Backbone.

So now you know what the movie is about.  But what’s so interesting?   Two things:  Seth Green and Jack Black.   Personally I think this is Jack Black’s funniest movie performance of all time.  I’m not even joking.   He’s incredibly funny in this movie.  Second of all I think every time I see Seth Green I want to gag.

Like I said, you gotta see this.  Trailer after the jump….

  1. this movie (along with Hackers) is the absolute best example I can give to anyone of a guilty pleasure film. it’s so bad, but i love it.

    Completely agree on jack black. i’m not a huge fan of his, but i enjoy him in this movie. “pretty boy maharishi’s been mixing a little bit of drano with his FRUIT PUNCH!”

  2. Straight up love how awful this movie is. I grew up with it and its level of bad is something that somehow comforts me and takes me back to an easier and simpler time. PS, the restaurant where Jack and Mitchell have an altercation is actually a killer Italian place, Pompilios. Check it out.

  3. Didn’t see this until I was 16. Wish I had seen it at 9 when it was made. Love that cheesy early 90’s “90210/Saved by the Bell” music. The big race at the end is a rush.
