A thoroughly enjoyable, cerebral and funny film.

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2000)

I'm going to keep this short, since I think that, rather than listening to me spout off, you should just go see this film and decide for yourself. Perhaps one of the only things that might hurt "High Fidelity" --- and this is what pretty much has made up the few negative reviews I've read --- is that it thrives on the dark, self-centered and simply moronic side of people when it comes to "being with" others. And I think that maybe it's too intelligently written for some people. But I'm betting that it's not you, because you're doing your homework by reading this little comment. It's a fine film, especially for those "Say Anything" fans out there (not to use that comparison to reduce or compartmentalize either film --- they're very different in their own rights), and one that I looking forward to owning.
The ONLY problem I had --- look for the Evil Dead 2 reference. Is it just me, or does it seem like they mean Army of Darkness, rather than Evil Dead 2? 14th century shotgun shells? Great soundtrack? I dunno...
