Title: Hilarious to all aging gen-x music nerds like me
Review: This movie is priceless for the musical references alone. I have never before actually heard an actor mention Sigue-Sigue Sputnik or Massive Attack on screen, and it was shockingly nostalgic and funny. Plus the comparison of Echo and the Bunnymen to The Jesus and Mary Chain......Anyhow, even beyond the references that occur at Dennis Miller speed, the performances are funny as well. The two misfit clerks are just about perfect, as well as polar opposites that play off each other.the only reason for a four rather than a five is that the book my Nick Hornby is one of my favorites. Althought the movie is reasonably true to the book, the location in Chicago instead or London takes a small piece away from the flow of the story. For some reason it seemed more believable in London. Regardless, this movie is still miles ahead of most of the schlock released in theaters in the last year or two.
Is the review positive or negative?
