great film
The movie is hilarious and the cast is awesome. Probably one of John Cusacks best movies.

As good as the book
I don't read a lot of fiction but I did take a crack at Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, and found it to be very funny and wise. The transfer of any book to the big screen is always a crapshoot, especially when you re-situate the story on a different continent, but Hollywood got it right this time. The film not only captures both the humor and the pathos of the book, but also it's corp wisdom about growing up. That may seem sappy and a bit of a cliche but the film avoids both with very satisfying results. The movie's dependence on hip, pop culture references and terrifc acting moves it along at a quick pace....yet the movie never loses its thoughtful edge.

Men, Their Friends, and Empathetic Girls.
There are no limitations with a movie like High Fidelity. It's a romantic comedy with a dank spirit, an appeal to men, and a wonderful leading actor, and though, as has been said, it is the perfect movie for any male who's ever been through a significant breakup, unisex appeal is not lost. I'm a teenage girl and even I can empathize with Rob's losses and journey throughout this spectacular adaption (which, if I may say had it's work cut out for it; Nick Hornby is a genius with the common man). And the casting was superb. It was surprising to see a British novel go through Hollywood and come out at the other end of the tunnel with a newfound dignity. I'm just glad our generation has something good to live up to literarily and cinematically speaking.
