Empire Records

A funky little record shop provides the setting for this youthful comedy that centers on the workers there as they try to help poor Joe, the manager who really wants to buy the place, recoup his losses after his well-meaning, but dim-bulbed Lucas steals his savings and loses it all in Atlantic City while trying to increase it two-fold at the gaming tables. If they cannot come up with the loot, the mega-chain Music Chain will buy it. —Sandra Brennan, All-Movie Guide
