A funny, enjoyable, (not mentally taxing, but what the hell) movie.

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 1999)

Empire Records chronicles a group of misfit teenagers who all work in a music store. For the most part the characters are original and funny, and so is the plot.
There are a few problems with the movie, mainly due to Hollywood attempts to add drama, which more or less fall flat. Aside from that, its a good watch. Not as good as Can't Hardly Wait, but still great fun.
The character of Lucas is brilliant, summoning superb one liners, and all the characters are crisp, with dialogue that sounds spoken rather than rehearsed, (for the most part)
Part of the humour from me is that I KNOW people who are scarily close to these characters, but that may just be me.
The music is good, the acting is perfectly good, the script is fun, and aside from the blatant Hollywood 'insert drama here' moments, all is well.
