High Fidelity Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Stephen Frears
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
A man discovers that there's more to love than a good mixed tape in this dramatic comedy about music and relationships. Rob (John_Cusack), an obsessive record collector in his mid-thirties, is struggling to reconcile his adolescent enthusiasm for pop music with adult responsibilities and a more mature outlook. He runs a record shop with his friends Barry (Jack_Black) and Dick (Todd_Louiso), who are known to drive away customers whose taste in music doesn't match their exacting standards -- which may have something to do with why the shop is losing money. But Rob's biggest problem is his failing relationship with Laura (Iben_Hjejle), a lawyer who needs more out of the relationship than Rob is capable of giving. To Rob's horror, Laura starts dating Ian (Tim_Robbins), his upstairs neighbor, known throughout the building for his long and noisy sex sessions. Rob, on the other hand, finds himself catching the attention of singer/songwriter Marie DeSalle (Lisa_Bonet), as he tries to deal with his breakup by tracking down his previous ex-girlfriends and taking a fresh look at what he's been doing wrong. Based on the acclaimed novel by Nick_Hornby, High Fidelity also features Catherine Zeta-Jones, Lili_Taylor, and Joelle_Carter as three of Rob's ex-lovers, and Sara_Gilbert as Dick's new girlfriend, who gets a crash course in U.K. punk bands that influenced Green_Day.
