Synopsis

A male-perspective confessional about being an adult--but not acting like one--HIGH FIDELITY is the story of Rob Gordon (Cusack), the 30-something owner of Championship Vinyl, a record store in the suburbs of Chicago. Rob is in the throes of a difficult breakup with his girlfriend, Laura (Hjejle), and he creates a list of the ex-girlfriends who qualify as his Top Five Worst Breakups, then tracks them down one by one. At work, Rob's relationship with the geeky guys that help run the store, Dick (Luiso) and Barry (Black), is hilarious and juvenile: the three espouse encyclopedic knowledge of records, while making lists of everything from the Top Five Side 1, Track 1s, to the Top Five Songs About Death. Director Frears, known for his famed film THE GRIFTERS, works from a script based on the 1996 Nick Hornby novel of the same title and adapted by DeVincentis, Pink, Cusack, and Rosenberg. Frears integrates Cusack's signature goofball antics, and gives him a series of talk-to-the-camera, Ferris Bueller-style monologues that Cusack delivers with personal ingenuity.

Description

IN THEATRES: MARCH 31, 2000 (NATIONAL) Hornby's popular novel makes the shift from London to Chicago in this Hollywood adaptation. Cusack stars as a thirty-something record store owner who searches for the answer to the seemingly impossible question: does he listen to pop music because he feels miserable, or is the music the cause of his misery?
