Why Jack Black is god

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2000)

If I were to voice any objection about this movie, it would be that they replace Elvis Costello with Bruce Springsteen and there's no sign of the song that lent its name to the title of the movie. All that aside, High Fidelity is pure joy. You'd have to have the old stickeroo pretty far up your whatzit to not enjoy this movie. Cusack is great, of course, Cusack is my on screen counterpart, as ever (at least I'd like to think so) but the greatest pleasure I took in this move all came from JB. I'm talkin' bout the D, you who know, know what I'm talking about. I went to see this flick with my girlfriend and I started laughing uncontrollably the moment he came on screen. My date insisted that it wasn't funny yet. Needless to say, we're not together anymore. Back to Jack. Jack Black is one of the funniest guys around and this movie gave him free reign to prove it. Oh, yeah! JB's got the moves baby! You know it! Darn near pee'd my pants, I did.
