Overrated.

Rating: 3/10 (26 October 2004)

I was looking forward to see this movie because of its reputation but I must say I was disappointed. Its based on Nick Hornbys book and thats not a seal of quality for me. Have you seen 'About a boy' with Hugh Grant? Thats a Nick Hornby book to and man is it slow!
High Fidelity is made in the same way, slow and boring. Some good moments in there, but nothing to give it the edge that it needs. I am not really sure what the message is in the movie... if any.
Cusack makes an excellent job as always and Black is good to. The others, well not to good I must say.
For this genre of films look to Spain, Italy or France! Americans don't have the humour or heart to make it.
