Based on the cult novel of the same name by Nick Hornby, High Fidelity
follows the 'mid-life' crisis of Rob (Cusack), a thirty-something record-store
owner who must face the undeniable facts - he's growing up. In a hilarious
homage to the music scene, Rob and the wacky, offbeat clerks that inhabit
his store expound on the intricacies of life and song all the while trying to
succeed in their adult relationships. Are they listening to pop music because
they are miserable? Or are they miserable because they listen to pop music?
This romantic comedy provides a touching and whimsical glimpse into the
male view of the affairs of the heart.
