Laugh-out-loud funny!

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2001)

You don't need to be a John Cusack fan to enjoy High Fidelity, nor do you need an overt appreciation of music, the film is a highly humorous, poignant and informative look at men, relationships and love.
Cusack is at his 'Grosse Point Blank' best here, investing in his character a realism that at times is so hilarious you will need to see the movie again to hear the lines you missed the first time because you were laughing too much. His emotionally strung-out breakdown is disturbing. Here is an actor that knows his craft and knows it well.
Watch out for the air-conditioning 'alternate outcome' scene. It still makes me laugh!
Cusack is by far a more talented performer than many on the scene and 'High Fidelity' is a testiment to this.
