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 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. --© Sony Pictures [More]

5/10

Jeffrey Chen

The characters are all stuck on tracks, which might work on other occassions, but not when your underscoring music is all about refusing to follow conventional tracks.

Andrew L. Urban

It's an easy and lightweight date movie for teens who will enjoy also discovering some New York bands.

Louise Keller

It's a pleasant enough interlude and the young band-crazy target market may get involved, but its appeal is limited and there is nothing especially fresh or novel about the content.

Although a comedy, and one rife with hilarious moments, it's a strikingly heartfelt flick.

With the right touches of casting and chemistry, even the thinnest of premises can become weighty in sheer charm.

Mickey McMonagle

With a great soundtrack and a plot that requires absolutely nothing of the audience, it's certainly Friday night fodder but could have been so much better.

Cosmo Landesman

Nick & Norah is a teen comedy that adults can enjoy. The screenplay, by Lorene Scafaria, manages to be smart and sophisticated, the comedy dry and understated.

The chief running gag, about as funny as a weeping sore, concerns a piece of chewing gum.

Although Nick & Norah is episodic and uneven, it does have considerable charm.

Filled with likeable characters, smart dialogue and cool indie music, it's good natured, hilarious and an outstanding romantic comedy that makes you wish you could be there.

Prairie Miller

All is forgiven in a wild money shot defining moment, when passion blooms in stereo off camera, as a studio hideaway's flashing voice level meters dance around, in synch with sex. A match ultimately made in digital heaven.

They pull off the blend of wide-eyed earnestness and sarcasm, but it’s ­unlikely teens or adults will relate to the 2D characters.

The music’s great, if predictable, and the talented young cast give it their all. We just wish that Cera would try something new.

Tom Huddlestone

Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist takes everything you loved in three decades of teenage romance and twists it into something unrecognisably desperate and exploitative.

This music-powered hipster romance is as simple and undemanding as a three-chord pop song. It’s as corny as rhyming “moon” with “June”.

We allow the movie its fantasy of first love, if not its pretence of indie credibility.
