Movie Info

When a radio station's management announces that there's going to be an upswing in commercials on the air, with a strong emphasis on ads for the U.S. Army, the anti-establishment deejays form a united front against the "suits." With station manager Jeff Dugan's (Michael Brandon) unofficial approval, the other employees hijack the station, playing the kind of music they like before the authorities can arrive. Martin Mull appears in his feature-film debut as a zoned-out record spinner. In

FM, for all its ingratiating players, is an unredeemable mess that can't even make it to simplistic.

A fun comedy of outrageous DJs. Martin Mull is funny in this.

**1/2 (out of four) The corporate owners of a Los Angeles Rock n Roll radio station decide to move the station in a direction that angers the DJ's. They revolt, taking over the station and causing a near riot outside. Quite possibly the inspiration for the hit television sitcom "WKRP in Cincinatti".
