While not a total dud, High Fidelity failed to engage me completely because of its self-absorbed lead character. ...read the complete High Fidelity movie review at ReelTalk Movie Reviews (Betty Jo Tucker)

Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
John Cusack is Rob Gordon. He's a neurotic, 30-something, who hasn't grown up. He is the Chicago record store owner of Championship Vinyl carrying CD's and vinyl LP's for musical connoisseurs, in a small store that is barely surviving. This wormy role ...read the complete High Fidelity movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Rob, who has owned a vintage record store called Championship Vinyl for several years, has been through more romances with women than he cares to count, but no matter what, something always seems to get in the way of things working out. Rob is clueless ...read the complete High Fidelity movie review at Dustin Putman

John Cusack is handsome, but in a strange way. As a leading man, he remains an Everyman, or even an Underdog. In fact, the perfect role for him would have been Jughead Jones if they ever made a live-action version of Archie. But the next best role for ...

Personally I think this is John Cusack at his best since "Say Anything". It is the ultimate break-up/relationship movie for men (and some women). It's very no-nonsense, comical & entertaining guide at how we love and sometimes lose the ones we care about ...

2000 brought us High Fidelity, the movie adaptation of the popular book by Nick Hornby of the same title. The tale of Rob Gordon(John Cusak) a socially awkward, music elitist who owns a small vinyl record store.
When his live-in girlfriend Laura(Iben ...

"High Fidelity" is on my top-five all-time desert island movie list. After watching it for the millionth time, I came across two errors. First, at the beginning of the movie (Chapter 2), Laura leaves, Rob slams the door, and then tells us his top-five ...

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. John Cusack is his usual charming man-next-door with issues. Jack Black plays his standard stick-it-to-the-man rebel with a heart. Three men with extreme and unnecessary music knowledge spend their days and nights ...

To be frank, I bought this album for "Let's Get It On" as performed by Jack Black. It has a lot of other good songs on it, too, which I have been known to listen to, but I really bought it because iTunes was going to force me to buy the whole album for ...

John Cusack is a very funny guy! And, he definitely does not disappoint as the neurotic narcissistic record-store owner with relationship "issues" in High Fidelity. But, what really sets this one apart from the other brilliant work by Cusack is the ...

Frears's surprisingly insightful film, adapted from the Nick Hornby novel, examines the comic romantic entanglements of a lovable music-store geek. His record stacks and Top Five lists may be in perfect order, but his love life is a shambles, and Cusack ...

Whether you're a John Cusack fan or not, "High Fidelity" is a great movie featuring the humorous antics of a younger (funnier?) Jack Black and a nice light romatic buzz. An excellent date movie for two people of out-of-the-ordinary tastes in music ...
by Rhyse Faintree on February 27, 2007
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's possible to learn from others to avoid those same mistakes yourself. I see that in this enjoyable movie. As with anything really good it seems to be more than the sum of its parts. You can pick ...
