Late 20th century generational

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2000)

High Fidelity explores life and relationships for those whose college years were in the late 1980s and 1990s.
While some aspects of the story are timeless (romance, commitment, generational music impact, etc.), much of the dialogue and humor would be lost on those too far removed from college in the 1980s and 1990s. Those who did attend college during this time and were into the alternative/underground (non-pop) music scene will find this movie very enjoyable. Others, I suspect, will be entertained but unmoved.
Definitely a feelgood movie with enough laughs.
Directing, writing, and acting are all above average. After considering rating the movie a 7, I am rating this a 6 since I think it is tied to a particular generation and does not stand out otherwise.
