Leave your thoughts about Empire Records.
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestEmpire Records is little more than a poor man's Clerks, but an entertaining one. |
| EmpireCaroline WestbrookFor all its faults, the good-natured, quirky humour that this for the most part offers ultimately makes it very hard to dislike. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A great nineties film-if you never actually experienced the nineties. |
| DeciderJosh SorokachEmpire Records strikes a chord with people because of not in spite of its flaws. It's a fun, immensely enjoyable celebration of the irrepressible optimism of youth. |
| Alternate EndingTim BraytonA sweetheart of a movie, enough to make up for its clattering screenplay. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe film exists for its shots of telegenic youngsters busting loose to a bankable soundtrack, and it's the cheesy dialogue, overstuffed plot, and predictable character arcs that come across as superfluous. |
| Filmcritic.comEric VanstromIt has a good soundtrack, lots of free-for-all dance scenes, and derision toward aging singers and capitalists. And you just can't get enough of that. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyIt's high on charm and low on quality; the writing is pedestrian at best, the characters are paper-thin, and director Allan Moyle lets the music do the heavy lifting. |
| Entertainment WeeklyTy BurrThe movie is too blatant a throwback to crass '80s teen fodder to really work. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIf the movie is a lost cause, it may at least showcase actors who have better things ahead of them. |
