About this movie

John Cusack 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 Luiso). 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 (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.

Ratings and reviews

Great film. As you'd expect it has an excellent soundtrack. It's a pity they don't have record shops like this anymore. Acting is excellent and the story is really engaging. Trying to create the perfect top ten tracks to any situation was so much harder when you had to do it the hard way with cassette tapes.

One of the best films from the turn of the century, John Cusack was at is effortless best in this role
