I hate this movie; I hate hate hate this movie.

Rating: 1/10 (5 August 2000)

I should tell the readers of this review that I only saw half of this film, because my friends and I walked out of it. I'm glad I did not spend $8.50 to watch this loser fest.
The movie starts with John Cusack listing the top five lost girlfriends in his life. I should have known what I was getting into at this point.
Rob (John Cusack) proceeds through the moviegoing to work at a record store he owns. He doesn't have the balls to fire the people he hired. Jack Black is excessively rude; he criticizes everyone and everything. He plays the role well, but the character is so obnoxious, I felt like I wanted to bitch slap him in every scene.
Dick is a decent character, although he is a weenie. He attempts to counteract the over obnoxiousness of Jack Black's character. At least in the parts I saw saw him in, he seemed like baggage rather than character with something to contribute.
John Cusack plays a perfect generation x recrod store owner. He can never get anything right. Although Cusack plays the character well, he like the rest of the cast are a collection of annoyances rather than people with whom we can identify.
I cannot understand why this movie is so highly regarded.
