Very Real Characters and an Honest Story,

Rating: 7/10 (18 June 2015)

High Fidelity is a good movie with a very well developed storyline and a terrific cast. It's a very realistic film that revolves around Rob Gordon, a character that I found very relatable, which I think is one of the strongest points of this movie, every performance is very honest and sincere, no one holds back and because of that it made the characters feel very life like, that's something I love to see in a movie. I think Rob is a great character, but the writers should have put in more time in to making us feel for him, the whole time watching it I honestly thought he was s jerk, and though I felt bad for the position he was in, I also felt like he deserved it, I'm sure that's what the writers wanted but to a certain degree they should have made him more likable. The cast is superb, John Cusack kills it in the lead role, he shines in both comedic and dramatic scenes, Iben Hjejle is also great in all her parts and Jack Black brings a lot of comic relief in to the movie in one of his first major roles. It may not be a feel good movie, but High Fidelity brings in great laughs and stellar performances, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy drama.
A record store owner must try and reconcile his love of music with real life responsibilities.
Best Performance: John Cusack Worst Performance: Joan Cusack
