Horrible, Horrible, Horrible

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 1999)

Everyone was talking about this movie, Empire Records..."Empire Records is great, man...you gotta see it!!!" So I did, and I hated it. From beginning to end it was like one big suckfest and everyone was invited. Had it not been for Ethan Embry and Renee Zelwegger, I probably would have turned it off, but I thought that they did great jobs, and I commend them for working so hard on a bad movie. The director also, I much prefer his old work, such as Pump Up The Volume with Christian Slater...That was a real movie, Empire Records is like, Pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-teenage crap...I don't know anyone that is above the age of eleven that acts as immature as they do... There were scenes that I liked, especially the ones with Brendan Sexton III, but other than that, I thought the whole thing was mundane, boring, and stupid...I wish I could recommend it, but I just can't.
