Review of High Fidelity

High Fidelity (2000)
9/10
A great movie from an incredible book . . .
7 April 2000
Cusack delivers a flawless adaptation of Nick Horby's great novel High Fidelity. Every once in a while a movie comes along where you can totally identify with the characters. These are my friends, music and movie snob-geeks with contempt for anything labeled "popular". We are the guys who grew up watching too much television, listening to too much music, and watching too many movies. We were tricked to think that life without misery was no life at all. We were fooled into thinking all romances were story book and that all of life's problems can be wrapped up in thirty minutes or less. Unfortunately, we set out to find relationships that resembled those we thought were normal and when these relationships went south, we spent way too much time obsessing and reliving them. Thank God, we grew up and thank God for Nick Hornby reminding us of how great it was.
