Believe it or not, but John Cusack and his sister Joan might've appeared together in more movies than any other pair of Hollywood siblings.

Joan Cusack appears in the film as Liz, the thoroughly pissed-off best friend of Rob's ex-girlfriend Laura (Iben Hjejle), and it in fact marks the eighth film they've starred in together.

The seven prior movies are Class (1983), Sixteen Candles (1984), Grandview, U.S.A. (1984), Broadcast News (1987), Say Anything... (1989), Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), and Cradle Will Rock (1999).

It doesn't stop there, though: since the release of High Fidelity, they've appeared in two more movies together - Martian Child (2007) and War, Inc. (2008).
