At least Nick Hornby's cult classic novel Fever Pitch remained based in England when turned into a feature film. Not so High Fidelity. Our hero's record shop is moved from North London to Chicago but other than that little has changed.

Rob (John Cusack) is music mad. He sells records, his friends talk of nothing else. That would be fine if thirtysomething Rob was not also looking for true love.

The film begins as Laura (Iben Hjejle) is ending their long-term relationship. In desperation Rob attempts to track down his former girlfriends to find out just why he is such a hopeless partner.

The stage is set for scenes which will be familiar to most people who have suffered in the name of love.

An 80's soundtrack ensures the audience a trip down memory lane and look out for cameos from Bruce Springsteen and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
