  • Drearily inane comedy, with uncertain performers enunciating unspeakable dialogue to an overpowering soundtrack.

    Really stupid film, with a painful soundtrack, one-dimensional stereotypical characterisation, easily predictable neat-and-tidy ending, and terrible dialogue. Several aspects of the story just don't make sense.

    I nearly gave up on this movie 3 or 4 times, but unfortunately I stuck with it til the cringe-worthy end. 'Cult comedy classic' they said! It might be cult, I don't know, but I didn't detect any comedy and it's certainly not a classic.

    At BEST it's watchable, and that's only because Liv Tyler is so gorgeous.

    Fantastic!

    I love this movie! All the characters are really likeable and you just want them to keep the store open so that they can continue doing what they love and sticking the finger up at the proverbial bad guys - the people who want to turn it into a 'Music Town' store!
