A movie that everyone can relate to

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2003)

I'm pretty sure that anyone who has seen this film can relate to it in one way or another. I imagine that everyone has at some point worked with one or two goof-balls, has cheated on his/her partner, dumped over and over again, and feels that they have been s**t on their entire life. That's why I love this film. It is simple and it has class. The fact that John Cusack speaks to the audience makes the viewer relate to the character.
I enjoy the fact that John Cusack's character feels that he is always being s**t on, because then when he runs into a problem the problem seem more critical and more intense. A great example of this is when Rob (Cusack), discovers that his girlfriend Laura (Iben Hjejle) is seeing Ian (Tim Robbins). Another thing that I find very fascinating is the fact that Rob is very smart but in a aggressive and bold manner. Therefore his dialogue is made very impressive. High Fidelity has everything that a down-to-earth film should have and I'm sure that everyone would enjoy it. So, therefore they would enjoy it as well.
