"Hits All The Laugh Bases!" -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
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 his 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!

High Infidelity! - 3.75 out of 5 (9/18/2000)
"High Fidelity" is a movie that builds and describes itself based on lists. John Cusack plays Rob Gordon, a former New York Dee Jay who owns a record store called Championship Vinyl. His store is falling apart, his lovelife is falling apart and he decides that the best way to deal with this is talk to the fourth wall.
Oh sure, it's been done before and to some degree of good effect. Matthew Broderick used it quite well in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" for the occasional punchline. It's been used

There's a Soundtrack to Everyone's Life............. - 4.5 out of 5 (9/25/2000)
High Fidelity is a rare and original comedy. It's one that succeeds because it is both hysterically funny, but also because the situations that the majority of the laughs come from are very real, and feel real. Such characters are rare to find in comedies, but the script is so intelligently written, and cleverly mixes in scenes of tender romance, slapstick comedy, and genuine feel-good moments, along with a first class soundtrack, since the film does have a lot to do with music.
