Editorial Reviews:

This story about a day in the life of an independent record store, truly a threatened species, screeches with the sound of teenagers falling apart emotionally every five minutes. The script, which feels like an old guy's idea of how kids talk and think, concerns the young employees of a Delaware music shop faced with imminent extinction. While the ship is sinking, the staff indulge in tantrums, depressions, and run-ins with low self-esteem. There's a lot of noise in this thing, but not a lot is really said. Rory Cochrane has the best part as a secretive guy who loses the store's proceeds one night while gambling, Anthony LaPaglia is the adult boss and unofficial dad to the others, Renée Zellweger plays a promiscuous girl, and Liv Tyler is OK as a lovestruck sweet thing trying to get up the nerve to express her feelings to a fellow employee. --Tom Keogh

Summary: My guilty pleasure
Comment: I can't explain it to you, you wouldn't understand. How can you emphasize that something strikes a resonnating chord with a distant memory of a cherished job? Don't buy it unless you've seen it. And "No" you can't borrow my copy.

Comment: I was very happy with this seller. Item was shipped swiftly and was as stated.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Strangely appealing except for...
Comment: I do not know why I like this movie. I am not a fan of a lot of the music they play in it and the story is rather paper-thin. However, there is something attractive about the interactions between all the characters and how they work out their problems.
The 2 reasons I did not give this movie 5 stars are:
1. Robin Tunney as Deb. This was the most annoying character I have ever encountered. She is pretentious and snotty -- and not in a way that makes sense or is tolerable.
2. The actor who played Warren...how did that kid every land acting jobs? I saw him in one other movie and he was terrible there too.
Both of these characters were too annoying to be liked or sympathized with so I just kept rolling my eyes while they were on screen.
Everyone else was great!
