Editorial Reviews

From the guys who brought you GROSSE POINTE BLANK comes the absolutely hilarious HIGH FIDELITY. John Cusack (BEING JOHN MALKOVICH) stars as Rob Gordon, the owner of a semi-failing record store located on one of the back streets of Chicago. He sells music the old-fashioned way -- on vinyl, with two wacky clerks, the hysterically funny rock snob Barry (Jack Black) and the more quietly opinionated underachiever Dick (Todd Luiso). But Rob's business isn't the only thing in his life that's floundering -- his needle skips the love groove when his longtime girlfriend Laura (newcomer Iben Hjejle) walks out on him. And this forces him to examine his past failed attempts at romance the only way he knows how! For a rocking fun time, give HIGH FIDELITY a spin. It's sure to make your all-time top five list for comedies -- with a bullet.

I mean, come on! One of my all-time favorites!

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2019

Definitely makes my top 10. Jack Black is so good in this, but I like all the characters/actors. John Cusack is great in it.

I've always wished there were a little more record shop stuff, but other than that, I have no complaints. I watch it at least once a year, usually heading into winter.

Uninteresting

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2019

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

I wasn't a fan of the movie when it first came out. Now, years later, I watched it again hoping I would enjoy it more. I didn't like it this time, too. I picked it out because I'm a huge fan of Jack Black, but his wacky character was hardly wacky at all, as if the director held him back. John Cusack played well the character we often expect of him—thoughtful and self-aware but subtly anxious—but his role and lines were less interesting. I only recommend this for big Nick Hornby fans, for an adequate adaptation of the novel.

A Love Letter to Music Lovers

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

In “High Fidelity,” the heart of the impassioned music lover is transplanted into the romantic comedy vehicle, and with wonderful and sustaining results. Now over twenty years old, this great movie still resides on the Top Five lists of many film and music fans, and rightly so.

Rob (John Cusack) is a Gen X record store owner with a mind engulfed by the obsessive factoids music can weave into our language. His supremely endearing staffers Barry (Jack Black) and Dick (Todd Louiso) can match Top Five lists with him on any subject. When Rob’s girlfriend Laura (Iben Hjejle) cuts him loose, he makes a Top Five list of his life’s most heart-shattering female rejections to better understand why his relationships implode.

“High Fidelity” feeds its terrific premise and wit to a pitch-perfect cast, and surrounds them with a soundtrack that melds with the story like few have. This is a love letter to music and to music lovers. – (Was this review of use to you? If so, let me know by clicking "Helpful." Cheers!)

One of my all-time favorites! Highly recommended.

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Let me preface with: I'm female. But I **LOVE** this movie. I loved the book, I love everything Nick Hornby has written, look him up if you enjoyed this because his writing voice is perfectly captured in this movie. This movie is about music and relationships and heartbreak and is also kind of a "coming of age" in your 20s movie. There are so many quotable quotes in this movie that it's ridiculous ... a movie ABOUT geek culture is in itself a movie worth geeking over. I often judge people on how cool they are based on whether they have seen this movie and/or read the book. If they hated it, I know I won't like them. Yes, the book was based in London -- but come on, John Cusack and Jack Black absolutely OWN these roles. They're fantastic and this movie is timeless. One of my all-time favorites ... and a relationship/breaking-up movie with a satisfying yet realistic ending ... fabulous. SEE IT. BUY IT. It's awesome.

Better than the standard definition DVD, but...

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2018

I love the movie. I like the sound. I am disappointed in the picture quality. It is a definite upgrade over the regular DVD, but sub-par for a blu-ray in terms of detail and overall clarity. But, what are you gonna do? It is currently the only hi-def version available. Recommend for fans of the film, but just keep your expectations in check.

Forgot how much I liked this flick. Music...chock full of delights. Then add in a terrific script about relationships, fine performances, and a story that packs a punch in the last 5 minutes...and you get...well some deep grooves on fidelity. Look beneath the surface as you put this on your turntable...you may love what you find there.

Wonderful Movie

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

The film centers on Rob Gordon (John Cusack), a self-confessed music geek with a poor understanding of women. After getting dumped by his current girlfriend, Laura (Iben Hjejle), he decides to look up some of his old partners in an attempt to figure out where he keeps going wrong in his relationships.

He spends his days at his record store, Championship Vinyl, where he holds court over the customers that drift through. Helping Rob in his task of musical elitism are Dick (Todd Louiso) and Barry (Jack Black), the "musical moron twins," as he refers to them. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things musical, they compile "top five" lists for every conceivable occasion, openly mock the ignorance of their customers, and, every so often, sell a few records.

Awesome film, the outtakes should have been included, they are hysterical

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 14, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This for me is John Cusack's best film, and you could say this film put Jack Black on the map, and what I love about this film is the soundtrack, it is just brilliant.

This is a great film and well worth a watch, plus the picture plus sound is very nice. Its such a shame there is no uk edition, it seems to take ages for certain films to get their blu-ray release, no wonder we have to buy US region free Blu-rays.

High Fidelty DVD review

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great film about the obsession with vinyl records. The Nick Hornby book is probably better but most books are generally better than their films. I bought this DVD in used condition and was not expecting too much however I was pleasantly surprised. The DVD was in great condition along with the case and arrived very quickly. The DVD was super cheap. I suppose with streaming ,DVDs are on the way out but as with High Fidelty the desire to collect things never ends , at least for me. I will grab a bottle of wine and watch the film which is practically autobiographical in my case " highly recommended ".

A Really Good Night's Entertainment

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

I found the film very watchable from start to finish. The film is very British, though in this film, set in Chicago. Nick Hornby’s book was set in London, which explains its very ‘Blighty’ feel.
I really enjoyed John Cusack’s lead and narration – he was very believable and a nice character to buy into. I’m not a lover of Jack Black but his character worked well enough here. The film was a huge financial success, costing some 20 million $ to make but grossing a whooping 156 million. It unsurprisingly scored well on IMDb & RT’s.
Whilst this film wouldn’t get into my top five, I still found it a first class watch and really enjoyed it.

Razor rates High Fidelity

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2009

One of the greatest films since the turn of the Millenium. Hornby's book comes to life fantastically with John Cusack taking the lead roll with great humour and timing as main character Rob. Rob is a character with whom the audience are meant to relate to and Hornby's writing about life, music and realtionships accomplishes this.
This was the Jack Black's breakthrough performance in terms of being really known in the comedy world, and he fully took that opportunity, as sarcastic but likeable Barry. Cusack's one-on-one conversations with the audience, breaking the '4th Wall' element of film, gave the film a chance to stay close to the ideas and details within the book. Superb ending with Barry singing Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On' was just one of the great musical moments you'd expect from the soundtrack of a film involving three men working in a music store discussing music all day. 5 out of 5, and in my opinion the sort of film you can watch time and time again but never tire of.

Absolutely brilliant film based on nick Hornby's novel of the same name. Perfectly cast, this touching tale offers the viewer a lovely hour and a half of humour and sadness. John Cusack is brilliant, very witty and endearing. Jack Black is hilarious, one of his better roles. Would definitely recommend this film and it definitely makes my top 5.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2014

You know how you sometimes see a film and you think: "oh definitely, I'm going to see this film again". That's what I thought until I watched this film for the second time. It seems to hove lost his appeal. Although John Cusack never disappoint this film seems too artsy. Almost like trying too hard. If you like a slow film-house film with no suspense en a happy ending - I say go for it.
