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

I loved this film growing up and I think the remix addition adds something special to it. Glad to have this back in my collection again.
Format:VHS Tape
This movie is great for a laugh. It immediately puts you in a fun and cheerful mood. Ethan Embry is so crazy, he's adorable:)

I was so excited when I saw this version of the film; however, the extra scenes added should have been kept out of the film and just added as "deleted or extended scenes". This remixed version takes away from the original spark the first version of this film had. It ruined the movie for me. Then finding out that this was the only version that is sold on DVD now....

correction
Liv Tyler is not the character trying to get up the nerve to tell her co-worker how she feels... it is actually AJ who is trying to get up the nerve to tell Corey (Liv's character)... Read more

Save The Empire!
Originally I wanted to see this movie because I had a crush on Johnny Witworth [who plays AJ] but that crush has long fizzled out. NOW.. it's just one of the funniest movies ever. Read more

A forgotten gem
The fact that this movie is not common in pop culture is a sin.
It is one of the wittiest films of the 90s. Lucas should be a hero. Mark should be a hero. Read more

Loved it
I recently saw this movie, and I loved it. I found it to be similar to those classic 80's movies (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, etc.) which made me enjoy it even more. Read more
