Among the Best

Rating: Null/10 (2 October 1999)

Empire Records is among the best of the teenage movies. It's realism and true-to-life situations allow people to relate. It may be true that Ebert said it was just a bunch of teens dancing and goofing off...but what's wrong with that?? Empire was packed full of pumpin' music and stereotypical characters, but also amazing actors and a unique style that will never be recaptured. Lucas' odd philosophy, A.J.'s art, Mark's brownies, Gina's ambitions, Corey's little blue skirt, and Deb's neo-nazi boot camp makeover make movie fans come a-runnin' to the best movie I've have ever seen.
