Based on the Best Selling novel about a thirty-something Chicago record store owner who goes through an early mid-life crisis when his latest girlfriend dumps him.

A smart script, engaging performances and witty rock 'n roll references make High Fidelity a treat. A compact cast of likable characters are a nice addition to Cusak's talky and well-played lead role. One of the first decent movies of the year.

Look for Bruce Springsteen in a cameo role.

Directed by Stephen Frears.

Soundtrack recommended.
