Damn the man. Save the Empire.

Endlessly re-watchable 90's movie gold. I have probably seen this film 20 times and it never gets old or stale. I can recite the script word for word. I have the extended edition on DVD (because for some reason they haven't released it on Blu Ray yet!" And I love the extra scenes. This would make a good double feature with That Thing You Do, another movie I love to no end, but I'm waiting for the Blu to come out for that one.

Happy Rex Manning Day, everybody.

Very entertaining, is the type of film I can watch over and over again, it encapsulates the 90's in a very good way, and on top of that the soundtrack is awesome.

Everyone say awh! This was super cute and fun! Great group of characters with really good casting where everyone does well! Fantastic soundtrack! I'm a sucker for these types of films!

This is one of those films that might not actually be very good technically but in terms of sheer enjoyment it brings to viewers it's superb. Empire Records is a cast filled with potential and a scenario that despite having worked in an indie record shop still remains incredibly desirable with a soundtrack that those of us who were there can revel in.

Damn the man! Save the Empire! Happy Rex Manning Day!

Despite a pretty good soundtrack and a few decent moments, Empire Records is a film that features a lot of the attributes of the 1990s that people would pretty much want to forget which is a bunch of whiny kids with too many problems, some bad overacting, and lots of silliness involving people who are essentially posers.

Good: soundtrack, cast, characters are likeable.

Bad: certain plot threads come in for one scene of importance then disappear, Warren's laugh, gun scene.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

95% teenagers dancing to music

5% actual plot

I didn't hate this movie. That's the most I can say for it.
