Empire Records (DVD) Reviews

Empire Records was released in 1995 to not much acclaim at all. Infact, it was a total flop. However, it has since become a cult classic and is easily my personal favourite film from the whole of the 90s. The movie begins with an employee of small record shop, names Empire Records, cashing up for the day and suddenly deciding that ...  Read the complete review

Empire Records was released in 1995 and is a teen comedy drama. The original release was 90 minutes long but the 2003 edition is 107 minutes long. Even though the film has some major names in the cast, they weren't so big at the time and the film was pretty much a flop at the box office. PLOT Empire Records follows the lives of ...  Read the complete review

I first watched Empire records as a teenager and thought it was one of the best films ever made. Now nostalgia can make me watch it again and again and although I have down-graded it somewhat from 'World's Greatest Movie', I still feel that this is a good film about young adult life and deserves to be a teen classic. The film is about a ...  Read the complete review

To think this movie isn't well known amongst a huge number of people kills me. I grew up watching this film almost every night. Many of my friends have borrowed the DVD from me, and they too, like me have become addicted to it. The character development is extraordinary and you fall in love with every single character. The humour in the film is so ...  Read the complete review

Empire Records is not your average "teen movie." It was released in 1995 and probably somewhat overlooked by many. The humour is dry, the characters are complex (in their own way) and they seem to have incredibly eventful lives. The main characters, Mark, AJ, Lucas, Corey, Deb, Gina and their patient boss Joe work in the record store ...  Read the complete review

Empire Records is a great movie and definitely one of the most under-rated compared to some other movies of the same likes, e.g. Mallrats, Dazed & Confused, Hackers and the more recent Go. Well, now that I think of it, none of those other movies really hit it in the box office big time either. Hmm. But they are certainly ones that you can call ...  Read the complete review

A cult movie - one of the funniest films ever made. A must-see for all young people, 12+. - Advantages: Very very dry humour. - Disadvantages: Some people seem to have to concentrate to find this hilarious flick even slightly amusing.

Empire Records is a film every self-repecting person under the age of 25 should see. Here in Britain, you can sort the cool from the wannabes by asking them if they've seen it. Empire Records was unfortunately only released in London, and therefore the average Blockbuster store won't have it. Seek it out though - you'll be ...  Read the complete review

Released in 1995, "Empire Records" remains a rather underrated yet classic teen flick. Whereas Kevin Smith's "Clerks" focused on a day in the life of two convenience store clerks, "Empire Records" centres on a day in the life of a music store and it's troubled employees. After Lucas (Rory Cochrane), ...  Read the complete review
