High Fidelity - (Stephen Frears;2000;UK/USA)
A record store owner reevaluates past relationships after his current one fails.
Unlike most Romantic Comedies, we forget that this film is one. It doesn't use the formula we see at least twice a year. Instead we are treated with characters that feel real. Cusack's character while being the hero of the film is not striped of negative qualities and a sense of selfishness to satisfy the audiences. And it feels real without the expense of losing the comedy. The soundtrack is one of the main highlights and should make any music buff happy, as well as the dialogue throughout the film.
