Summary: The perfect movie......well, not entirely perfect
Review: This is by far my favorite movie of all time. I like teen movies, but teenage movies today are so different than the older ones. Today in teen movies, every character is either perfectly popular or a nerd. Empire Records has none of that. Every character is real....and you definitely know someone that is like each of the characters. No character in this movie is perfect, and that's perfect. The plot of this movie is completely predictable, but sometimes you gotta love predictable movies, at least you know there'll be a happy ending. The music in this movie is great: early/mid 90's alt-rock. There are so many great lines in this movie, that you can't help but throwing into your everyday language. After you've watched the movie about 30 billion times, you'll wish you worked in a record store. But definitely NOT a chain like Music Town. You wanna work for Joe at Empire Records. Why did I write this review: because dad says there are 24 usable hours in a day!

Summary: fantastic cast - fantastic music - absolute fun!!
Review: Well, coming from a person who really hates teen flicks....Empire records is a bloody beauty mate!
It takes you on a fantastic roller coaster ride through one day in the lives of a group of captivating individuals. Brilliant music underscores nearly all scenes.
The cast is excellent...something for everyone! Loved Anthony LaPaglia as Joe...wish he'd used his aussie accent though!!
The script is ultra quotable...some truly witty, laugh out loud phrases.So yeah, get a group of friends around, have a big bowl of m&m's! and watch and enjoy Empire Records. cheers.

Summary: WARNING: this movie should not be taken seriously,it's funny
Review: Okay so this movie isn't the best serious drama of all times, but it's not supposed to be. People who have reviewed this with their negativity can go shove it cause they don't have to watch it if they need to take their life so seriously. I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it and I'm not some drug-smoken hippy, either. I bought the soundtrack immediately because the songs were great, it has a wide variety of music, without any really hard-metal stuff. The plot is not meant to be taken seriously but it's funny, it's a great movie to watch with some friends who also like comedies and who enjoy laughing. The best part of it watching it is getting the catchy phrases stuck in your head. My sister and I love repeating the lines to each other in some witty repertoire. My favorite character is Lucas, I absolutely love his character and he keeps me on the edge of the couch along with him (insiders would know what I'm talking about), you just don't know what sly thing he is going to do next. This movie also has a romantic aspect to it, which is very sweet. The drugs, alcohol, and rock n' roll that is portrayed in the movie might not be for all ages, older people may not like it and the young ones shouldn't really see it if they are influenced easily. The main thing is that people shouldn't buy this movie or watch it looking for an Academy Award type movie, cause it's not, but it is a great movie for almost anyone with an open mind and sense of humor.

Summary: Sects, Bugs and Tom Cruise
Review: No this film features none of the above, thank god. But this film does feature a witty to some degree story. For a film based on a music store it featured some of the worst music I have ever heard used in a movie soundtrack. This film did make me laugh several times and I think that's what saved it, at least for me anyways. This film also gives the feeling of a Kevin Smith film, and not in a good way either, it more or less feels like a poor attempt at writing in Kevin Smiths style. However, it had some really funny stuff, Ethan Embry as some kind of a crazy stoner, utterly unbelievable character but hey, that's movies and a pretty neat guy who sets off the events that drive 95% of the film, and a funny little shoplifter/gun toting madman, named Warren. This is also the movie to watch if you're into pretty, not so big but memorable starlets. This features Liv Tyler, Renee Zellweger and yes, a skin headed Robin Tunney. This is the prettiest I have seen any of these ladies look on film. All in all, is it worth the cost of a DVD? No. But if your looking for a good chuckle I would suggest renting it or buying the cheaper VHS copy because I really don't think it's worth that kind of cash.

Summary: Barely watchable
Review: Well, I'm sorry to spoil the party, but I thought this film was pretty weak. It lacks any sense of reality. None of the relationships make any sense. I know it's just a movie, but you could get some stupid ideas about life from this movie. Most of the jokes are dead on arrival. Only thing I like about it is the chance to see actors you otherwise respect prance around and hack out their parts. Everybody tried real hard, but there are some production/direction/script issues that could not be overcome. They did their duty, but sometimes actors go down with the ship, and I'm pretty sure this weak film damaged some careers on both sides of the camera. Robin Tunney is a goddess, however.

Summary: grab it while you can
Review: If you loved The Breakfast Club you'll love Empire Records. I discovered it whilst watching television in the early hours of the morning and have loved it ever sinse. The film is comical and realistic, so true to teenagers that if your past 22 it is likely u wont enjoy it.
The film laucnched the carreers of Liv Tyler and Renee Zellweger who were both unheard of at the time of its realease..and have gone on to become leading actresses of today. Apparently the film is not being produced anymore..so grab it while you can. It sums up youth and in the period of a day with plenty of laughs and a simple narrative structure.

Summary: Damn the man...
Review: I did not like this movie the first time I watched it, but something told me to give it a second chance - I'm glad I did. Empire is a day and night in the life of a group of record store employees. What makes the Empire store so different is the fact it is an independent store, and the group that works there is incredibly diverse and VERY asthetically pleasing. There is the dim, brooding Lucas (the hot Rory Cochran who was also in Dazed and Confused); the even dimmer Eric; the even broodier Deb (The Craft's Robin Tunney); the stressed-out, underappreciated manager Joe; the loose Gina (Renee Zellweger); goody-two shoes Cory (Liv Tyler); and the adorable, talented AJ.
When Rex Manning - a has-been TV star who sings some incredibly cheesy song that will stick in your head guaranteed - the Empire gangs lives are turned upside-down by love, lust, a shoplifter (who ends up with a job at the store by the end of the day), a shooting, and of course, one rager of a party! "Damn the man! Save the Empire!"
Because of Lucas' faux pas the night before, Joe is nearly forced to let the store he loves be bought out by a no fun music store chain. But the Empire gang pulls together and raises enough money ("and some Bazooka Joe for karma") to help get Lucas out of trouble and allow Joe buy the store from the owner. Empire Records is an intersting twist on the often-told story of good's triumph over evil. This movie will not disappoint you at all if you can relate at all to being the underdog - or just want to have a good laugh and hear some great music.

Summary: It's a good movie......one not for critics!
Review: This is a great movie! Notice I did not call this a film, because it's not trying to be a classic! This movie is a good piece of entertainment; it's got funny and amusing dialogue with an incredible talented young cast. I loved this movie when I first saw it, and unlike the reviewers I was a teenager when I saw it. It's funny how one of the critic's say that the script is flawed, because a middle age man wrote it and that's not how teenagers talk. I wonder how old he is, because as a teenager I didn't find the characters so far out and away from reality that the movie became unbelievable. I thought that the dialogue was funny and amusing, plus teenagers are different. We are different and I'm sure there are kids out there that do talk like that. What I don't get is how anyone could not like this movie! It has great music, cast, and it entertains you for the whole 90 minutes. It's funny, because some of the most "critically" acclaimed movies can't do that!
