Empire Records (1995)

This film made me laught tons, especially Warren. I'm recommending it to everyone. Definitely one for a rainy day. I thought that besides Jeanie, the characters all had so much depth to them, and were very believable. I think that a lot of work has gone into this film, and the music fit each scene well. This film makes me want to work in a record store too. I loved the dance scenes, these employees aren't just colleagues, they are lifelong friends, and it warmed my icy, cold heart. ------SPOILERS AHEAD---- did have one problem though, Jeanie's Rendez-vous with Rex Manning was unnecessary, and it seemed she just did it out of spite. I thought the ending couldn't have been more perfect. I really recommend this.

Empire Records is arguably the worst "film" I have ever seen. I cannot even begin to comprehend how anyone can stand to tolerate this garbage. It seems like the entire film was conceived in a single evening. There was no thought or foresight put into this filth whatsoever. It's as if the screenwriter wrote a first draft and then immediately started handing the scripts out to B-movie actors. The abominations in this film which they call "characters" are completely unlikable. Many of their performances could have be pulled off using cardboard cutouts attached to oscillating fans. This movie's paper-thin plot advanced for about the first 10 minutes, then proceeded to spin its wheel in monotony and trash comedy until the last 20 minutes. I can't imagine that anyone could have read this script and thought, "Yeah that sounds like a great idea. Let's do it!" The actors in this film come off as budget acting school dropouts, who are hardly worthy of any roles at all. Plain and simple: DO NOT BOTHER. I wouldn't wish this film on my worst enemy, and I'm fairly certain that playing this during a time of war would be considered inhumane under the Geneva Convention.

Empire Records is funny and slightly offbeat teen movie. A well built one, which each quirky character having a well defined personality, a set of problems, and realistic interactions with each other. Their personas all ring solidly true, each with deep emotional affects. However, not everybody will see themselves represented here, it is but a thin slice of society.The music is good, the dialogs are interesting just like the story, and it keeps an overall positive tone, although it does talk about some serious issues. It touches each subjects lightly, and keep the focus on the what is happening, on the development of the situation.You will be entertained, if you're looking for a good adolescent flick.

This is my first movie review so i through i would start with one of the best films of all time! This film is the day in the life of a middle America record store!It shows the story of a number of misfits and what happens to them in a day that changes there life!Its funny, heartwarming and sad! Every time i have a bad day i watch this to cheer me up!With a great sound track and some pretty great acting for the stars of tomorrow (well now the stars of today!).SO if your looking to feel good about the 90's and want to listen to classic tunes as well this is one for you. Thou you want to watch the remix not original cut! But is awesome do watch
