Empire records is a story about one day in the lives of employees in a record store. Amongst them there is the cocky Lucas, who has “borrowed” the days revenues for gambling and lost, rebellious slutty Gina (Rene Zellweger), shy, brainy, Corey (Liv Tyler). The artistic AJ (who is in love with Corey and must tell her by 1:33), Deb who tried to kill herself and the crazy Mark. Empire records is an independent store, which is about the be sold out to a large chain so they must figure out how to raise the money to save the Empire.
The film tries to do what the “Breakfast Club” did in the eighties, the characters reveal pain, torment, angst and must come to terms with who they are and what they want to do with their lives. There is always plenty going on in the film and and the soundtrack is fantastic.
It’s a great little film that should be more well known than it is. The acting is good and it always keeps up a fast pace. Although I think it will mainly appeal to the 16-24 age group, it’s a very funny film.
