"Call me shallow" but it's still a romp.

Rating: 7/10 (1 April 2000)

John Cusack is one of my better choices to watch in a film; it must be his Irish genetic string, or perhaps it's simply because he is one hell of an actor. I'm old enough not to recognize many of the songs played throughout this film, but not old enough not to still appreciate people with a passion for music. Cusack owns a record shop, accompanied by his zany (great characters) part-timer helpers. But Cusack is more interested in why his girl friends are, and have been leaving him. And we get a glimpse of his top 5 more painful separations. There is quite a plethora of beautiful women and much narration in this film, but John Cusack does it so well, that the narration becomes comfortable. Tim Robbins plays a minor role and performs quite well. It's a film that is enjoyable, not heavy, and if you're in a good mood to see fluff, but fluff done as well as fluff can be done, you may enjoy this film too.
