Very Cool Little Movie From The 90's

Rating: 5/10 (8 January 2008)

I own and have seen empire records many times. The first time I seen this movie was at film school. I love this movie for the soundtrack and cheesy teenage love between Liv Tyler and A.J. My favorite character is Deb, played by Robin Tunny. She shaves all her hair off like G.I. Jane to prove a point. She hates her life and wants to kill herself. Then you have Rene Z who is gorgeous in her youth in this film. She plays Liv Tyler's nymphomaniac friend. Then there is a couple other characters along with the cool boss Joe. The main plot of this story is about Lucas, assistant manager wanting to save the store from being bought out by Mega Mart or whatever cheesy corporate company wants to buy out Empire Records. So he takes all the closing money from Empire one night when he works and gets on his bike and goes to Atlantic city in hopes of making a lot of money so he can save the store. This movie is highly cheesy but a good teen flick with not too much inappropriate content for the youngsters. It also has an amazing soundtrack with, The Cranberries, Better Than Ezra, Cracker, Toad The Wet Sprocket and more!
