you have finite time on this earth; don't waste it on this.

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2016)

Empire Records is arguably the worst "film" I have ever seen. I cannot even begin to comprehend how anyone can stand to tolerate this garbage. It seems like the entire film was conceived in a single evening. There was no thought or foresight put into this filth whatsoever. It's as if the screenwriter wrote a first draft and then immediately started handing the scripts out to B-movie actors. The abominations in this film which they call "characters" are completely unlikable. Many of their performances could have be pulled off using cardboard cutouts attached to oscillating fans. This movie's paper-thin plot advanced for about the first 10 minutes, then proceeded to spin its wheel in monotony and trash comedy until the last 20 minutes. I can't imagine that anyone could have read this script and thought, "Yeah that sounds like a great idea. Let's do it!" The actors in this film come off as budget acting school dropouts, who are hardly worthy of any roles at all. Plain and simple: DO NOT BOTHER. I wouldn't wish this film on my worst enemy, and I'm fairly certain that playing this during a time of war would be considered inhumane under the Geneva Convention.
