perfect and genuine and amazing

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2005)

this movie is perfection. its not deep, but it means something. its not groundbreaking, but its funny. really funny. the soundtrack is quirky and delightful and fitting, its characters are at once cliché and then universally relatable to your life. you don't always need cinematic brilliance to never forget a film like this. I've seen it over 20 times with all of my friends and can say every line like i wrote the script. i don't like sentimental teen flicks, but this is a cult classic that is worth a rental, no, purchase...because you'll want to see it again. for every random act of dancing, every perfect one-liner, and how much it makes you want to work in a record store....i LOVE this movie.
