Storyline
High Fidelity follows the 'mid-life' crisis of Rob, a thirty-something record-store owner who must face the undeniable facts - he's growing up. In a hilarious homage to the music scene, Rob and the wacky, offbeat clerks that inhabit his store expound on the intricacies of life and song all the while trying to succeed in their adult relationships. Are they listening to pop music because they are miserable? Or are they miserable because they listen to pop music? This romantic comedy provides a whimsical glimpse into the male view of the affairs of the heart. Written by <N2XFYLS@aol.com>

Rob: What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

Trivia
Records that are shown in more than one context. Examples: "Cut" by 'The Slits' is for sale at Rob's first record store, and is visible when Rob meets Laura when he is a deejay. "Double Nickels on the Dime" by 'Minutemen' is on display in Rob's apartment, and it is among the records that Justin and Vince steal from the store. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: When Rob refers to John Dillinger being shot by the FBI he claims that it was Dillinger's own girlfriend that had sold him out to the FBI, but this wasn't the case. The FBI were informed by Ana Cumpanas, (the landlady of the hotel that was harboring him) after they had threatened to deport her. See more »Quotes
