Movie Review: Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Rating: 
Directed By: Peter Sollett
Starring: Michael Cera, Kat Dennings
Plot Synopsis:
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a comedy about two people thrust together for one hilarious, sleepless night of adventure in a world of mix tapes, late-night living, and, live, loud music. Nick (Michael Cera) frequents New York’s indie rock scene nursing a broken heart and a vague ability to play the bass.
Norah (Kat Dennings) is questioning pretty much all of her assumptions about the world. Though they have nothing in common except for their taste in music, their chance encounter leads to an all-night quest to find a legendary band’s secret show and ends up becoming the first date in a romance that could change both their lives.(Amazon)
Review:
Teen comedies are really hit or miss for me these days. Some are smart and funny (Superbad) while others leave me scratching my head with how out of touch with reality they are (High School Musical). Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist does a great job of being mostly rooted in reality with a believable (enough) love story. What it does right is make me miss the days when I used to go to shows and stay out all night with no real responsibilities. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a smart, funny and sweet little movie.
