A great movie with a now-famous cast that was young at the time

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2005)

I was impressed with Moyle's comedy about young teens helping their boss (Lapaglia) save his record store from turning into a chain "MusicTown" (barbershop sort of stole this theme). After seeing this film, I'm enthusiastic to watch Pump up the volume. The film sets out and achieves everything it attempts to achieve. A very funny film, with a great atmosphere, nice dialogues, and a very talented young cast. The screenplay was very well written, with some very cool dialogues. La Paglia was good in his role, however the best performances in the film came from Renee Zellweger, Rory Cochrane and a very hilarious Brendan Sexton. Liv Tyler was also good, as were Embry and Whitworth. I actually enjoyed this film a lot, contrary to the people I saw it with, who said they bored (this is typical of them however because they wanted to watch a Jackie chan movie, lol) A very funny, unorthodox teen movie, 9/10
