Synopsis
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. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
