 High Fidelity: Cinephiles Movie Review
High Fidelity offers a strictly male point of view by depicting a world where every male character --troubled or not-- is nonetheless a funny character, and where all female characters are either too angered, too hurt or too indifferent, yet always serious.
High Fidelity offers a comedic look at its heartbroken main character and narrator, whose recent breakup forces him to rethink his previous failed romances and to confront the fear of commitment.
High Fidelity portrays the banal aspects of falling in and out of love.

 Salon: Litchat with Nick Hornby
"High Fidelity" (Riverhead), the popular first novel by British author Nick Hornby, is like reading from an old diary -- at once hilarious and pathetic, the stories of romantic engagements and disengagements are often an embarrassing reminder of who you once were.
A family man pushing 40, Hornby is a former English teacher and journalist with another bestselling book under his belt, "Fever Pitch," his memoirs about being a fanatical soccer fan.
Well, the first three or four books of his I think are great.

 Review: High Fidelity
Based on the novel by Nick Hornby, High Fidelity is a quirky comedy that explores the romantic misfortunes of the main character.
Hjejle is as fetching here as she was in the recent Mifune, and she speaks English with only the barest trace of an accent.
As far as the plot goes, there really isn't one - High Fidelity is a movie driven by characters (Rob's in particular) and situational comedy.

 Amazon.co.uk: High Fidelity: Books
"High Fidelity" is a nice blend of musical/movie memoir, love story and belated-coming-of-age tale.
The book is in one sense a love story, both sweet and interesting; most entertaining, though, are the hilarious arguments over arcane matters of pop music.

 High Fidelity - Nick Hornby
Told in the first person, this is an unashamed and unflinching tale about one man's journey from boy to man (in the space of a few months).
If you are male, you should read it and then make your partner read it, so they will no longer hate you but pity you instead.

 Salon Arts & Entertainment "High Fidelity"
And besides that, "High Fidelity," like the book it's based on, is essentially a story about the overwhelming power of pop culture -- not just the way it can illuminate every element of our existence but also the way it can cloud our judgment.
Stephen Frears' adaptation of Hornby's 1995 novel is spiritually faithful, despite the fact that the setting has been moved from London to Chicago.
Rob mourns the breakup by trying to figure out why he can't keep a relationship together, tracking down every girlfriend who ever spurned him and discovering in the process that in some cases he had been the one to do the spurning.

 High Fidelity Movie Review
This time around, we get to see and feel inside the soul of a man. Sure, sometimes it doesn't look too good, we don't like him at times, but we're given an opportunity as Cusack's character is to get a second chance at reevaluating the matters of the heart.

 Essay by John Busenitz
On the other hand, some like to transcend their personal biases and know that what they hear is physically accurate, as well as enjoyable.
Absolute perfect fidelity is not possible, because the act of measuring something always changes that which we are measuring (or recording).
Since we do not have anything close to total high fidelity, we have little other choice but enjoyment, which for audiophiles typically means a reproduction subjectively faithful to the original.
