Excellent film

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2000)

Any movie in which John Cusack gets some free reign is going to be great. He really understands our generation. This is a film with the know-it-all characters that we truly know. The music that they love is the music we love. And when they rip on it, we understand why. High Fidelity represents a generation. Even though, you hate his character, Rob is still cool. Maybe it is just his whole list mentality. But, we are a generation of media references. This also helped me to understand the mentality behind record store owners and how they can live as both owner and connoisseur. They basically can't. But, the frustration is real. John Cusack has really proven himself even though he did Better Off Dead.
