Great comedy

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2001)

This is the best comedy of last year. Period. John Cusack is fantastic (again) as Rob Gordon, the owner of a record store and a obsessive list maker. The last years he specializes himself in roles in which the character starts to doubt his lifestyle (the killer in Grosse Pointe Blank and the puppeteer in Being John Malkovich) and he seems to be born to play this character. (Like Bruce Willis is born to fight terrorists and other bad guys with a hang over and George Clooney disobeys his superiors' orders in every movie).
The rest of the cast is also great, especially Jack Black who could be a cousin of Randall in Clerks (p*****g the customers off).
High Fidelity has just what a movie needs. Terrific performances, perfect script and a soundtrack that is a part of the story (like in Forrest Gump and Boogie Nights).
I'm gonna recommend this film to everyone I see and it's already my favorite film of the last year.
The first thing I did after seeing this one was making a tape...
10 out of 10.
