HIGH FIDELITY NOW AVAILABLE

HIGH FIDELITY NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE HIGH FIDELITY FROM IMDB

Based on the cult novel of the same name by Nick Hornby, High Fidelity follows the 'mid-life' crisis of Rob (Cusack), a thirty-something record-store owner who must face the undeniable facts - he's growing up. In a hilarious homage to the music scene, Rob and the wacky, offbeat clerks that inhabit his store expound on the intricacies of life and song all the while trying to succeed in their adult relationships. Are they listening to pop music because they are miserable? Or are they miserable because they listen to pop music? This romantic comedy provides a touching and whimsical glimpse into the male view of the affairs of the heart. Written by {N2XFYLS@aol.com}

Rob gets ditched (yet again) by his current femalething. This catalysts a sordid self examinatory process about all his failed relationships. It's centred around his record shop, and coloured by his two motley socially inadequate assistants. Written by Filmtwob {webmaster@filmfreak.co.za}

Arrested development confronts 30-something Rob Gordon when Laura, his smart and successful lover, leaves him because he hasn't changed since they met. He reviews his top five worst breakups (he constantly makes top five lists, though usually about music). He recalls each breakup, reconnects with these former loves to find out why they dumped him, and wallows in misery from losing Laura. Much of it plays out at his vinyl record store where he and two clerks, socially-inept savants, live and breathe obscure contemporary music. Rob makes fruitless attempts to win Laura back, indulges in new relationships laced with fantasy, and tries introspection. What will Laura do? Written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}


HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE HIGH FIDELITY FROM DVDTALK

The Movie:
"High Fidelity" is a film that deserved a wider audience. Released in the final week of March to good reviews, the film didn't get much of a push, and faded fairly quickly. The film pulls off a double play that's not always easy and even less frequently seen in movies lately - the film not only has dialogue that's smart and funny, but great characters that are fully written and completely likable. John Cusack's performance is easily one of his best, as well. Cusack plays Rob, a record store owner and music fanatic whose girlfriend Laura("Mifune"'s Iben Hjelje) has just left him. This sends him into memories about the top 5 break-ups that he's had throughout his life (with girlfriends played by such actresses as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Lili Taylor). In fact, the majority of his life is based around the "top 5" lists that he consistently shares with his two fellow employees Barry(the scene-stealing Jack Black) and Dick(Todd Louiso). There really isn't a structured plot; the film mainly is Cusack's Rob serving as tour guide through the troubles that have served as obstacles in his finding the "one", which Laura might have been. The scenes in the store are definitely the highlights though - with Barry going after the customers who don't share his taste in music (with a very funny scene in the trailer). It's an extremely funny performance by Jack Black that's easily one of his best. And although Cusack talks to the camera a bit too much, the relationships and dialogue feel very natural and very realistic. At the center of it all, is Rob, wondering why things never seem to last with the women in his life, and wondering just what it is he's done wrong, with music as the soundtrack for his life. The film also uses Chicago locations perfectly. Rather than just sort of skimming over places and making them feel generic, "Fidelity" takes real locations and makes them feel...well, real. The only real wrong step the movie takes is Tim Robbins, whose character is a little too goofy.
