JACK Black, John Cusack and Todd Louisu in a scene from High Fidelity showing now at Esplanade 6.

Cusack ‘guy’ growing up

 Bigh Fidelity *&k*&* (out of 5) Starring
John Cusack and Iben Hijejle. Directed by
Stephen Frears.

“Lloyd, Lloyd, null and void.” The
refrain kept creeping into my head
as I giggled my way through High
Fidelity, John Cusack’s latest explo-
ration of guydom.

The names are different, but if you ask me
his High Fidelity character is just a peek at Lloyd Dobler
(Cusack’s antihero from 1989's Say Anything) 16 years down
the road: after the Ione Skye character has Gumped him; after
the kick-boxing career doesn’t work out.

Now he’s Rob Gordon, proprietor of Championship Vinyl.
Barry and Dick (Jack Black and Todd Louisc) are Rob’s part-
time employees but virtually inhabit the store. They are the
type of guys you were always afraid you'd have to dance with
when it was square dancing season in gym class.

The store bears a strong resemblance to the one Molly
Ringwald worked at in Pretty In Pink, where social outcasts
found solace talking about the latest Joy Division Japanese
import, and snubbing mainstream music consumers.
pointless banter between Rob, Barry and Dick makes for some

funny scenes. Familiar too—we all know guys
like these.

Rob is a list man: top songs for a Monday
morning, top five death songs... He’s trying
to decide whether his breakup with Laura
(Iben Hjejle) deserves entry into the top five
most memorable breakups of all time.

Flashbacks recount his less-than-illustrious
love-life, beginning with grade school and
moving through Charlie (Catherine Zeta-
Jones), the artsy goddess, and manic depres-
sive Sarah (Say Anything alumnus Lili

Taylor), among others.

We can see why Laura ran the other way. Rob can’t commit
to anything, he’s got no ambition, and at times he has all the
sunny disposition of a Smiths fan.

Most of the time, Cusack’s character addresses the camera
directly, a risky approach that has had fess hits and more misses
over the years. But it works here, thanks to Stephen Frear’s
artful direction and Cusack’s apparent ease with the camera.

There are some memorable cameos, including sis Joan
Cusack as a friend caught in the middle of Rob and Laura’s
breakup, Lisa Bonet, Sara Gilbert, Natasha Gregson-Wagner,
and even Bruce Springstein, who plays himself and doles out
