Empire Records is about my generation. But instead of identifying with it, I felt slightly pigeonholed. The film is exuberant and fun to watch, yet at times it teeters over the edge of melodrama.
Though highly overwrought, the film has a fun soundtrack and interesting (but stereotypical) characters. It's worth checking out, especially if you've worked in a record store or been around the high school band circuit.
