Pros: John Cusack is great in this part and the soundtrack rocks Cons: Story is hard to follow, and then you wonder if you even want to follow.
I am not sure about this movie, half of me liked parts and the other half just didn't like it at all. It could be that this is a real "male" thinking movie and since I am not one of them, I just didn't get it. I liked the style of the movie,...

Pros: Funny especially for a romantic comedy, Jack Black Cons: Nothing particular
This movie was one of the best romantic comedies I have seen in a long time, it had very funny parts and the way John Cusack talked to the camera was very interesting. I found it very funny how bad is love life was, and the way they had flashbacks was...

Pros: Cusack and the great ensemble gathered here Cons: Who the hell did his makeup?
I didn't really know what this movie was about when I saw it - and I'm kind of glad I didn't, as I was constantly surprised by the fresh writing, wonderful directing and great cameos by some unexpected actors.
John Cusack has always done...

Pros: Emotional, heartwarming, and real-to-life. Cons: The silliness of Jack Black's character.
This is one of my favorite John Cusack movies to date. Why? Because John Cusack shows his vulnerability and what it means to be a naive, cold, shallow, lustful, wide-eyed male, young man. The movie provoked so many emotions in me from jealousy, to ...

Pros: Some funny moments Cons: Boring, long, unbelievable
This movie is based on one of my favorite books by possibly my favorite author, Nick Hornby. His writing is smart and funny and complex. Nothing like this movie.
This movie, although it tries as hard as possible to be exactly the opposite, is dull...

Pros: John Cusack and Jack Black are perfect. Cons: Too few to notice.
This movie is for the music lover in all of you. With a great love story, and hilarity throughout, this was one of the best films of the year 2000.
John Cusack plays Rob, a down and out record store owner with tons of love problems. The one...

Pros: Well Written, Creative, Well acted Cons: Unnecessary profanity
This is an incredible comedy! Innovative, insightful, and absolutely hilarious. John Cusack's best performance since Grosse Pointe Blank(see review). This movie keeps you totally engrossed and at the same time, teaches a number of very valuable things...

Pros: Exposure to a somewhat eclectic variety of musical tastes. Cons: Excessive amounts of sophistry and angst.
Such expressions of personal trials and tribulations are, in the main, of interest only to those who experienced them and any others who lack any real life experiences of their own. Sure, life can be rough, and relationships are a subject to which...

Pros: Jack Black Excellent acting, hysterical moments to repeat over and over again, Jack Black, great music,....and did I mention Jack Black Cons: I only wish this movie wouldn't have ended after two hours.
Being a combination die hard music/movie/John Cusack fan I had to see this movie...and I was far from disappointed. Rarely do I laugh this hard at a movie. Jack Black gave another incredible performance, and he reminded me a bit too much of the common...

Pros: It's all Good Cons: None
Say Anything aimed at our generation when we were 17-22, High Fidelity hits us when we are approaching 30 and not sure where we are in our lives, let alone where we want to go in the future.
John Cusak has done a wonderful job adapting this...

Pros: Good Soundtrak Cons: Horrible characters
If you were ever curious about where the "stoners" in your high school went, look no further than this pathetic comedy. It is the story of Rob Gordon (John Cusack) a record store owner whom is finding himself on the threshold of yet another...

Pros: Very Funny, not too long Cons: soundtrack was not the best
Working at a movie theater has its advantages, one of the best are the occasional sneak previews that are handed to us. This week we were blessed with two sneaks, 28 Days, and High Fidelity. I'm not about to get into the plot of this movie, nor will...

Pros: Smart, funny, cusack is great Cons: sometimes boring
At first i was scepticle about how High Fidelity would be, but i was really impressed with how smart and funny it was.
The movie stars John Cusack and his troubles with women and how he gets through them.
Probably the best part of this movie...

Pros: entertaining from opening to closing credits Cons: missed it in the theatre
In response to reading a raving review of "High Fidelity". Funny I should happen upon this, as I just rented and watched this movie over the past weekend. I had no expectations, well, really, my best friend said "oh, this is supposed to be...
