MPAA RATING: R for language and some sexuality
Starring John Cusack, Iben Hjejle, Todd Louiso, Jack Black, Lisa Bonet, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Lili Taylor, and Joan Cusack
In this biting romantic comedy, Rob Gordon (Cusack) is the owner of a semi-failing record store in Chicago, where he sells music the old-fashioned way -- on vinyl. His needle, however, skips the love groove when his long-time girlfriend, Laura (Hjejle), walks out on him. As he examines his failed attempts at romance and happiness, the process finds him being dragged, kicking and screaming, into adulthood. (Touchstone Pictures)

Watching this movie was like a 90 minute glimpse into hell. I hear "You mean you don't have Blonde on Blonde??" twenty times a day at work, I don't feel like hearing it on screen. Even worse is it's coming out of Jack Black's mouth. This movie is for hipster's only. If you have any kind of intelligence or self-respect rent something else.
Richard G gave it a0:
The worst movie I’ve ever seen with the single most annoying character ever created. It seemed like your average boring Cusack movie in the first few minutes but once the bald sensitive guy with the musical taste of every failure I’ve ever known came in, I nearly lost it. If you can relate to any of the three main characters in this movie you have bigger problems than being a fan of High Fidelity.
Michael S. gave it a10:
Surprisingly enjoyable. He makes a very interesting narrator and keeps you interested in this journey. And to Jessica A: that is why you are still single.

From a female's perspective who had read the book before the movie, I did not enjoy it at all. The beginning is very slow, and didn't catch my attention. Who wants to know about another pathetic PIG of a man, or should i say CHILD? Women get enough of this immaturity from real men, we don't need to hear about someone else. I do have to say that the end helped me understand men a little better but I still thought it was poor. Maybe it's because the only thing Rob (the narrator) talks about is Music and how it relates to his pathetic life.

This is definitely one of THE greatest and funniest and bestest films of all times...i am glad most people here agree with the 10 point vote, as anything else would be WRONG.
Lawrence P. gave it a 10:
To John Cusack, Stop doing movie's like America's Sweethearts...Keep up the good work.
Alec D. gave it a 10:
It deserves every point John Cusack is incredible and the movie itself is hillarious and appeals to any man who has ever been in a relationship.
