Description

From the guys who brought you Grosse Pointe Blank comes the absolutely hilarious High Fidelity. John Cusack (Being John Malkovich) stars as Rob Gordon, the owner of a semi-failing record store located on one of the back streets of Chicago. He sells music the old-fashioned way -- on vinyl, with two wacky clerks, the hysterically funny rock snob Barry (Jack Black) and the more quietly opinionated underachiever Dick (Todd Louiso). But Rob's business isn't the only thing in his life that's floundering -- his needle skips the love groove when his longtime girlfriend Laura (newcomer Iben Hjejle) walks out on him. And this forces him to examine his past failed attempts at romance the only way he knows how! For a rocking fun time, give High Fidelity a spin. It's sure to make your all-time top five list for comedies -- with a bullet.

    if you an iTunes addict, recall buying records,the feel,smell,pleasure of doing so, have had a relationship and questioned yourself, this is for you, brilliantly written and portrayal of what it is like to be US. with John Cusack talking to camera, its as if he is talking to you, this is not a movie to watch as a group, its journey of pure pleasure great music and outstanding moments, in many ways a print to screen experience in terms of how it makes you feel, original book set in the UK, but the basics are all the same.

  • Excellent

    I don't know why I haven't watched this film before, it was excellent, all that I needed after an awful day. Yes it may not be to every ones taste, but if it is your taste you will enjoy every minute of it like I have.

    ...after the graduate that is. This film is funny, intriguing and very touching in places, Rob Gordon is such a brilliant character and should be up their among the fictional greats such as Holden Caulfield, see it, you won't be disappointed

One of my top 5 films of all time ! Don't listen to the people who say that it is garbage because they're talking nonsense . Watch it and you'll agree with me that high fidelity is a brilliant film!!!!

    I watch this movie every time it's on. John Cusak is brill and I love the style of the film - him always talking to the camera. It has some way funny and touching moments. Love the music that plays throughout. Don't waste an hour or so doing something else, get it watched and decide who's your top 5!
