    Causes us to leave the theater quite unreasonably happy.

    One of the sharpest and emotionally resonant romantic comedies in what seems like years.

    Ultimately too slight for its own good: It's a genial little doodle, light on plot and heavy on quotable, pithy observations.

    Isn't all that romantic and is only half as funny as it thinks it is.

    It's almost criminal the way the central relationship of High Fidelity has been left such a void.
