Rating: 2.5/4 -- We learn of the party-hearty environment and family-like vibe of a world where it was cool to write off cocaine as a business expense. And we see the hubris and myopia that doomed the industry. Full Review

Rating: B -- The real beating heart of the film is its collection of wild war tales told by the company's former employees, who regarded Tower as more than just a paycheck gig or a commercial proposition. Full Review

The movie might have been more entertaining for otherwise uninterested viewers if it served up more sleazy stories from the days when LA was the music capital of the world and every rocker haunted Tower. Full Review

Product Description:

A retail powerhouse since 1960, Tower Records was the heart and soul of the music world until the company filed for bankruptcy in 2006. It is widely believed that the death knell of the once billion dollar behemoth is attributed to the meteoric rise of the internet but director Colin Hanks examines the other explosive factors responsible for the tragic demise of this iconic record store chain.
