What a perfect dramedy, I absolutely loved High Fidelity!

Basicaly this is a story about a man who doesn't know how to grow up. That man is Rob and Rob loves music and owns a record store. No problem with that. He works at what he truly loves but sometimes it seems like he did not even care. He is more obsessed with his list of the "Top 5 Breakups", including the one that just happened. He wants to know why every girl that he had been dating broke up with him.

This film is something original and I love the fact that we have the narration literally in the first person. Rob narrates everything to the camera and you really connect with him, trying to understand the crises which he is passing through at the moment.

Music is a very important aspect of this film. And every single aspect about music that the characters approach, their kind of life style and the importance that they give to music in their daily lives I can totally get, and that's also another thing that makes me connect with this film the most, basicaly because I compare it with my passion with cinema. So no need to say that the soundtrack is great and Bruce Springsteen cameo was super cool! But don't mind if you don't connect with the kind of music of the film because you will enjoy it anyway!

John Cusack is the man of the film, he really shines and this is his film! He perfectly portrays "the regular guy". He is not forced at all, everything he says or does sounds and feels very honest and real.
Jack Black for me it's always a funny guy and once again in this film he is able to provide you with some good laughs, so as Todd Louiso as Rob's more reserved and shy co-worker.
Even the minor roles are great, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack and all Rob's ex-girlfriends were great characters.

Why everytime I see a film with John Cusack I feel that this super talented guy is always so underrated?! I would like to see him being more praised from time to time. I always feel like many people don't give him the appreciation that he deserves.

I think Stephen Frears did an amazing job directing this film.
