You just can't hate it.

Rating: Null/10 (9 September 2000)

High Fidelity is a pretty funny movie. John Cusack is great as lovelorn Rob who is so lonely that he talks to a camera and imagines getting advice from Bruce Springsteen. The characters are very cool and many of them may be people you know! (Barry is my friend's brother as an adult) The movie never really gets into touchy feely mode like many other romantic comedies (Blast from the Past, Edtv,...) MY only complaint was that there was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much talking to the camera. But at least Rob wasn't annoying, then you're stuck listening to him whine and moan for 2 hours. Good thing for jilted lovers to see but not a good date movie. *** out of ****
