Cusack tries to revert back to his brilliant 80's work, but fails hugely with this aimlessly written nonsense. I understand that lots of folks absolutely adore this. For me, I will never see how. Unknown songs (and I LOVED the 80's) are constantly referred to, Cusack is totally unlikable and miserable, and a guy I'm really gettin' sick of seeing, the pudgy, utterly annoying Jack Black didn't help either. My honesty must step in here as I only saw the first half hour of this. My trial period for a film has always been a half hour, and never once in that short time did I come close to cracking a smile. LOW marks for "High Fidelity".
