Long, but hilarious, original and enjoyable

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2003)

High Fidelity clocks in a just under two hours - and that's not including about twenty minutes of deleted footage on the DVD. However, "feature-length" movies are always nice to see as oppose to the all too short 80 minute ones.
ACTING: Hilarious. Jack Black, as always, never fails to please a viewer. He's rash, crude and way over the top - perfect performance as the wacky Barry. The other co-stars who play Dick and Laura are great, although the girl who plays Laura seemed like she was just put there cos she was a pretty face. Could be better.
As usual, I have no faults with John Cusack's performance. This man is just talent beyond talent. He's normal joe guy one minute and insane record shop owner the next. He really draws you into the world with a life and personality that easily grows on you.
MUSIC: Brilliant. Some nice classics in there.
Overall, the movie was funny, unpredictable and quite the original feature. I must say I've yet to see another movie like it. 8/10!
