Part of the series, Screen Bound: Read the book, watch the movie—or just watch the movie! Join the Cinema Society of Kingston for a film series of literary adaptations, each followed by a fun, book-club-style discussion.
Based on a novel by Nick Hornby: Reeling from a recent break-up with his serious girlfriend, 35 year old former DJ, current failing record store owner, and obsessive list maker, Rob Gordon (John Cusack), revisits his top five worst heartbreaks to see where it all went wrong. Is Rob miserable because of the pop music he worships? Or does he just need to grow up?
