Comment:
My mom doesn't understand my obsession with the movie High Fidelity. Lets see...I worked in a record store, check. Girlfriend dumped me for the guy upstaris, check. We got back together, check. Trade roles. I loaned her $4000 or so, check. She never repaid it, check. She's considering moving in with some supertramp fan, check. Did I mention I was a club DJ? Yeah, I thought I was pretty good until I moved to a little podunk, white bread town. Aparently my tastes are a little too sophisticated for this town.I think I've lived the movie and all of its roles.
Feedback:
Love the movie, turned me on to The Beta Band, which would be enough in and of itself, but the script is excellent, John Cusack is like he always is (why isn't he in more movies???) and once you add Jack Black and Catherine Zeta-Jones-Douglas, you have one of the best films made in the last 20 years of so.
amen - we are (or were) in the same boat, buddy.
if you haven't already, i recommend the novel it was based on as well.

thank you both. I believe the novel to be better than the movie but as an american I can identify more with the chicago setting, since I've walked past all those places in the movie in my younger years. Cusack is in more movies, he just seems to play the same role, grumpy depressed guy who pulls out of it in the end. Same role from Say Anything to Must Love Dogs.
I agree with April and Anthony.
