Just finished watching this film, what can I say? It's fantastic. I haven't read the book, by the way.
I had seen it before, ages ago, but decided to watch it again this afternoon. It was just as good as I'd remembered. The only person I recognised in the film was John Cusack, and I've only seen him in Being John Malkovich before.
I didn't recognise any of the other actors, but they were all superb. Barry and Dick, had me in stitches on many occasions, as did Rob Gordan (Cusack) himself.
I'd forgotten pretty much everything about the film from the first viewing of it, so it seemed a little strange that Cusack was talking to the 'audience' all the time, but it works well.
I'm not very good at reviews, but I'll just say that this is a funny, well thought out film that you should definately watch if you haven't sene it before. If you have seen it before? Hell, watch it again!

I claimed this one as a FAD prize, I'm still awaiting it, and this has just made me want to see it even more..
John Cusack is a legend, since Grosse Point Blank I've watched everything with him in it, apart from obscure things and High Fidelity.

I read the book, it's really good. I haven't seen the film, but apparently the book is better.
misterhappy, I watched the VHS version, so I'm not sure what extras you get with the DVD.
Suffice to say I think the film is good enough, so whatever extras you get are really a bonus. Especially if you got it free as a FAD prize!

John Cusack rules, he was brilliant in Grosse Poine Blank, haven't seen High Fidelity though.

Though he'll always be best remembered for 'the Sure Thing' :)
