GenX laughs at itself

Rating: 6/10 (4 April 2000)

Rob (John Cusack) is a confirmed Gen X vinyl record store owner too insecure to do much with his life but what seems to meet his immediate selfish needs. As a result he hasn't much of a life and women leave him or disappoint him in droves. As he gradually talks his way toward understanding where he is screwing up he can get a bit tiresome but he is also funny as he alternates between honesty and self-pity. His two record store employees hilariously steal whatever scene they are in. Worth seeing if Gen-X and their problems intrigue you.
