my favorite film

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2005)

this is a great film. not only does this movie look into the dysfunctional nature of men in relationships, it is also very funny and has outstanding performances by John Cusack and Jack Black in particular. Cusack is neurotic and yet still lovable, his life and break-ups all center around his music, he constantly makes lists (usually of 5). High Fidelity has both a serious and funny side. the way he narrates through his top five break ups is highly entertaining and is a great way to present them instead of him just listing them off with them having no real meaning to you. the idea that he goes back to visit all his old girlfriends was initially quite hilarious but then i saw another side that he was desperate for validation and in someways attention.jack black is awesome and the scene when the three of them beat up Ian is radical. a great film all in all. was very happy with the transition from novel to screen also 10 stars or points or whatever this is great!
