Negative Positive
Title: Somewhat funny - certainly a better rental than a buy
Review: I've grown a little tired of movies that push self-discovery over a simple plot. In this case, guy owns a record shop, rightfully loses girl because he is a self-professed jerk, and his ex continues to talk to him, mainly because he is John Cusack. Generally, John Cusack films are amongst the most entertaining movies out there, but this film makes me wish Cusack had the genetic ability of Ralph Macchio to always be that High School Guy. The best thing about this film is Cusack's brief dalliance with Lisa Bonet. Too bad Dr. Huxtable wasn't around to save the rest of the plot.
