NOT PART OF MY TOP FIVE...A PART OF MY TOP 40!

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2001)

At first when I saw the previews for "High Fidelity" and found out that it was adapted from a book my first thought was "Oh here comes another movie from a book." Doggone, I'm glad I was wrong because it's not that it's a really hilarious romantic/comedy. This tells the story of a vinyl record store owner (John Cusack) who's going through a mid-life crisis and has just broken up with his girlfriend that makes No. 5 on his Top 5 Most Breakups. So he starts to question why he has so many breakups and decides to visit all the girls on the list while he's trying to win his ex-girlfriend back. This has a lot of very observing and funny moments, good writing from "Grosse Pointe Blank" writers Steve Pink, Cusack, D.V. DeVincents, "Gone In 60 Seconds" writer Scott Rosenberg, and good performances (especially from Jack Black). Like I said before this not on my top 5, top 10, or top 20...this is on my top 40!
