Lloyd Doppler grows up (a little bit)

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2000)

John Cusack has always made wonderful movies about relationships (or even if the movies weren't wonderful, his performances were) and this movie continues that trend. Set in Seattle, Director Stephan Frears has made High Fidelity one of the truest, most honest films about modern relationships that I've seen. Cusack plays it almost as a sequel to Say Anything, his character, Rob, is what Lloyd Doppler could have grown into. The supporting cast is also wonderful, especially Jack Black and Todd Louiso as his Record Store employees. My only complaint with this movie would be that with the number of great actors in this movie, people like Joan Cusack and Lisa Bonet (just to name two) had far too little to do (and this isn't even counting the fact that Harold Ramis was actually cut from the movie). If you like John Cusack, you'll love this movie.
