Summary: what movie did the amazon.com reviewer watch?
Review: the amazon reviewer is completely off on summarizing liv tyler's character, and generally misses the mark in critiquing the dialogue of this movie. it's full of good quotes and good laughs, with lots of fun people who play off each other very well. i didn't think i'd like this movie till i actually watched it. it is very good and i'd recommend the movie to anyone.that said, the dvd is pretty thin on extras. i'm hoping they'll release a better edition at some point. if you worship the movie, by all means this is a great purchase; just don't expect much of what we're used to nowadays with recent-movie dvds.

Summary: Who doesn't love Lucas?
Review: I mean answer that one question! After watching this movie you'll fall in love with all the characters especially the witty "employee of the month" and "night manager" Lucas as well as the metal, stoner Mark. Lucas shares his wit with us by saying in response to the question "Lucas, what were you thinking?", "Who knows where thoughts come from they jsut appear." And Mark is the character who says the movies classic line "Damn the Man, Save the Empire!" The movie is full of goofy teenagers just trying to figure out their lives and save the place where they work.

Summary: Cult classic in waiting
Review: I love this movie and watch it often. The "A Day in the Life of..." story line is fun - the characters are intense and diverse, but they all come together to save their independent store from the big-box chain.

Summary: A Classic
Review: I first saw this movie about 7 years ago in high school, and it quickly became a favorite amongst my whole group of friends. Sadly, this film never made it to theaters because no one thought it would do well. Maybe it wouldn't have, but I don't see why not. Empire Records is such a loveable film, and it will make anyone want to work in a record store. It revolves around a group of young people that work in a local music store named Empire Records. Well, one of the employees secretly finds out that the big boss is planning on turning their hip record store into part of a larger chain, so he takes all the money he was supposed to deposit for his manager, Joe, and - what else? Gambles with it! Of course, he ends up losing all the money, which is bad news for Joe, who was saving up the money to buy Empire Records and save it from going mainstream. Now, we're on to the next day, when Lucas (the gambler) has to break the news to everyone. On top of that, they are having a signing session with Rex Manning - a washed up pretty-boy singer that nobody likes, except for one female employee who REALLY likes him (wink-wink, nod-nod). Then, there is another female employee who has tried to kill herself, a male employee who wants to tell one of his co-workers he loves her, and a shop-lifter who just wants to be one of the gang. There are amazing performances all around. Mainly Rory Cochrane, who plays the dry, witty Lucas - I absolutely loved every single scene he was in. Anthony LaPaglia is great as the sometimes easy-going manager Joe. Liv Tyler is beautiful as usual, Renee Zelwegger plays her trampy character perfectly, and Maxwell Caulfield as Rex Manning is priceless. If you haven't seen this movie yet, please do. It is so much better than any teen movie out there today: it's funny and charming, and it doesn't need gross-out humor to keep your interest. Forget that it's a teen movie, forget it got the straight-to-video treatment. Buy this movie today, you won't regret it.

Summary: If only I were famous
Review: I watch this movie, over and over again, and all I want in life is to be Liv Tyler when she freaks out in the store. It is so appealing to me to be able to act like your having this huge fit and have to be physically restrained by the rest of the actors. My sordid fantasies aside, this movie is exceptionally entertaining, catchy, and fun. The soundtrack is amazing, and you'll find yourself falling in love with the characters almost immediately (Warren). Do yourself a favour and buy this movie; it will provide you hours upon hours of entertaining goodness!

Summary: A Big Letdown
Review: After seeing That Thing You Do before Empire Records was one factor that made me saw how terribly bad this movie was. I expected a better acting job by both Liv Tyler and Ethan Embry, both were in That Thing You Do, but they were both [weak] characters that showed no meaning in this pointless movie. After half the movie past I was still waiting for it to pick up and make a point. It did get a little better, but I still would never want to watch or hear about this movie again!

Summary: Not bad...thats about it
Review: Empire Records lacked something. It starts off slow and doesn't get moving for a while, just sort of coasts along. There are plenty of characters to relate to, almost too many it seemed at points. The people themselves were plenty interesting and well scripted, but enough already...too many little side stories that took away from the main plot. Do any of these people actually work? Everyones either in the back room or dancing around the store while the occasional misfit mans the register. The interaction with the store was pretty fun though, and the movie in general was mildly entertaining, but I felt like there was so much more potential for this thing to rock. Basically, there was a bunch of good bases for story lines and they all diluted one another to the point of mediocrity. Some people will still love this film anyways, especially highschool/college students, so check it out anyways and see what you think.
