Read the book, THEN see the movie

Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2000)

I thoroughly enjoyed this "look into the mirror." There's much to relate to here. I'd recommend you pick up Nick Hornby's book first - it's a fantastic read. It also might make the "monologues" make a little more sense.
Cusack does a great job of becoming the character, and (except for all the rain) the transplanting of the story from London to Chicago is done very well.
