Comments: I was ecstatic earlier this year when I learned High Fidelity was coming out on Blu-ray. It's one of my absolute favorite films - it's so funny, yet so unbelievably poignant too. John Cusack is terrific; he makes the act of breaking the fourth wall continuously throughout the film feel so natural. However, Jack Black is the one that really steals the show. The early 2000 time period is my favorite for Black; films like Orange County and Saving Silverman are so much better because of his involvement. But when it comes to High Fidelty, it's not just Black and Cusack - literally everything in this movie works for me. It's fantastic and easily one of my all-time top ten films. And yes, that is Peter fucking Frampton.
