Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)

Poorly dated movie about nothing more than snobby New Yorkers who don't seem to sleep chasing a hidden show of some indie band all night and losing their drunk friend along the way. That's it. Was crap.

I found that Norah's character development was wonderful. It was interesting and not one I've seen in a while. Nick's character was mostly good as well but not anything special. And trust me, I love Michael Cera. I found the music was interesting and I will definitely be adding the songs to my playlist. With all that aside, I found the story was rather shallow. There was some unhealthy symmetry between Norah and Nick that was basically mirrored the other. This was the absolutely paralleled stories of Norah and Nick getting over previous lovers that was clearly not right for them. It was the same story for both! It felt a bit obvious and didn't work as I believe the writers intended.Overall, I did enjoy the film and would watch others like it. But as with all things, there are many places it could be improved.

A lonely and sad wannabe musician accidentally meets a girl, similar to him, with whom he slowly falls in love. Their adventure takes place during a very busy night in which both were searching for a hard to find concert. A lot of difficult and awkward situations take place but the two manage to keep it together, while their feelings for each other get more and more powerful.It's an enjoyable story which features a combination of emotion, laughter and drama. The two get together nicely although they seem to have nothing in common, and until the end, they manage to overcome their fears and let love take its course. As a downside, it is a bit too superficial in many aspects while inserting some boring and predictable moments from time to time. It ends well so I will recommend it especially to teen movie lovers.

Nick (Michael Cera) is obsessively in love with Tris (Alexis Dziena). She rejects him utterly and shows up at Nick's band performance with another guy. Norah (Kat Dennings) knows Tris but have never met Nick even though she loves his music. So when Norah needs a fake boyfriend for 5 minutes to show off to Tris, she grabs Nick. What follows is a night of adventures to rescue Norah's drunken friend Caroline (Ari Graynor), search for a secret show of their favorite indie band in Manhattan, and escape from the jealous crazed ex Tris.Michael Cera and Kat Dennings didn't have the best chemistry at the start mostly due to his obsession with Tris. Luckily Ari Graynor was able to keep the movie going with her wacky drunk act. The group of actors seem to have a lot of fun. That fun is definitely transmitted onto the screen as great camaraderie. The movie is full of lovely moments, and great music. Cera and Dennings do have better chemistry as the movie goes on.
