Smart,funny movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2000)

Hi-Fidelity is very good,very interesting movie. I'll admit I've never read the book(sorry, wasn't aware of book.)But what's on the screen is quite entertaining. John Cusack is great as always in the lead. His character Rob personally takes you on a tour of his funny and failed romantic history. The record store owner Rob constantly loses at love due to fear,bad luck and his own bad behavior. Even though he is jerky you find yourself rooting for him get out of his own way and succeed. Danish actress Iben Hjejle is strong and beautiful as Rob's latest girlfriend who leaves him in the movie's opening. This starts Rob on his tour of history and self-awareness. Jack Black and Todd Louiso are very funny as his two "employees" at the record store. They do their best (or worst) to insure that the record store never see's a return customer. Look out for a large number of cameo appearances by a very talented and very famous supporting cast. I had good time and the rest of the preview crowd seemed to like it too. It's attitude is male, but all should enjoy.
