John Cusack co-writes and stars in this adaption of the novel by Nick Hornby directed by Stephen Frears. Record shop owner Rob Gordon (Cusack) attempts to understand why his relationships always fail by meeting with several of his former partners. As he confronts his insecurities and commitment issues, he re-evaluates his most recent relationship with Laura (Iben Hjejle), who is now seeing their former neighbour Ian (Tim Robbins).
Meanwhile, he finds little solace with his employees - opinionated would-be rock singer Barry (Jack Black) and introverted Dick (Todd Louiso) - who spend more time making compilation tapes and quarrelling over their all-time top five album-opener tracks than selling records. The cast also includes Lisa Bonet, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Joan Cusack.
