High Fidelity focuses
in on the rambling thoughts of its romantically challenged main
character, played by John Cusak, who may be the only actor in
the world that could pull this off.
John also produced and co-wrote this film,
adapted from a novel by Nick Hornby. He's crafted a labor of
love story about a music store specializing in LPs.
It should be a big hit, especially if you were born in the 60s
or 70s or ever worked in a record store.
A quality motion picture. |
With a minimum of plot, this story of an
obsessive record store owner is in reality a quirky comedy about
romantic relationships and the devastating impact they make.
It's full of off-beat characters I've actually
met.
It is dry, droll, and at times pretty darn
funny. |
High Fidelity
is a movie about love and music. The film is an odd, witty, and
at times silly comedy that explores the romantic disasters of
the main characters.
The star doesn't pretend to have any answers
about anything except maybe who belongs in the top five of any
category you would care to name.
There really isn't much of a plot and the
picture is driven by characters who are quite demented and unambitious,
but I found it entertaining in its own crazy way. |
