Why see John Cusack?

Celebrate High Fidelity

Join John Cusack for a special screening of his seminal movie 2000 High Fidelity, followed by a Q&A where you can quiz the actor on the experience of movie making.

Telling the story of commitment-phobic record store owner Rob Gordon, his obsession with music, making Top Five lists, and his search for meaning after a break-up, High Fidelity is deft love letter to music, featuring tunes from The Kinks, Dylan, Elton John, The Roots, Stiff Little Fingers and many, many more, scoring Rob's quest to find happiness. Starring Cusack, Jack Black and even including a cameo from The Boss himself, it's a tightly written comedy with a philosophical edge and is widely lauded as one of Cusack's best ever performances committed to celluloid.

Based on the book by Nick Hornby, it was something of a pet project for Cusack, who went about gaining the rights and moving the action from North London to his hometown of Chicago, a move praised by the Hornby who said 'at times, it appears to be a film in which John Cusack reads my book.' Later it went on to be adapted into a Broadway musical, but the less said about that, the better.

Great to have John in Chicago

John was true to form, candid, funny and entertaining. The moderator was good and set a relaxed mood. Brave of John to provide an open mic to the crowd for questions - there were definitely a few folks who wanted to hear themselves talk, but we heard from a neighbor who was 5 when they shot the scene by the bus stop in the rain…very funny. ...

For John, 5 Stars, for Moderator, 2 Stars

John was open, friendly and extremely personable to everyone who asked a question. He's an outgoing person, highly intelligent and loves his craft. The moderator was a little too fan-boy and intimidated at the beginning, but improved as we went along. I've never been to this type of event but I'm so glad I went. I very much enjoyed it. Some very cringe things were said to John unfortunately, and not everyone behaved appropriately but people are people and I'm sure John's had to endure worse. John, please return to Tacoma. We'd love to do this again some time! ... Read more
