It’s all very sweet and there’s no mistaking how the film’s going to end. But it’s also smart, funny and further proof of Michael Cera’s comic talent.

Reviews for Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist has charm and warmth in abundance. It'll find a home with its intended teen crowd and may hook in viewers willing to take a nostalgic look back at adolescence.
01/30/09
It’s a rewarding love’n’pub crawl, dispensing sharp lines (“I love you so much it’s retarded.”) yet allowing a gentle love story to unfold between stops in the search for the mystery band. Play this one again…
01/30/09
Nick & Norah’s tries to be the date movie for kids in skinny jeans and Cons. Thing is, it’s too safe for their cynicism and while Cera and Dennings are pitch-perfect, even at 90 minutes it feels like a stretch.
01/30/09
It’s up there with some of the best teen movies of the 80s as pure pleasure that will make you feel 17 again. Brilliantly uplifting and heart warming stuff.
01/30/09
For any age, it's amiable and harmlessly entertaining. And if I was a cool, intelligent boy or girl in my teens, I'd like it a lot.
01/30/09
It is a fresh and engaging film that thankfully lacks the schmaltz and sentimentality of most romcoms aimed at older age-groups.
01/30/09
In all, it’s not as stupid as most teen films, but is still only likely to be enjoyed by 17-year-olds who haven’t seen Juno.
01/30/09
The storyline is predictable and often the biggest laughs come from crude humour. But you are unlikely to see a sweeter couple than Nick and Norah all year long.
01/30/09
Tinny teens dragged through mirth-free misadventures one New York night.
01/30/09
This small teen romance has the snap and crackle of early Doug Liman movies (Swingers, Go) and a charm all its own.
01/30/09
It’s not a bad film; just not quite good enough to take hold.
01/30/09
The likeable cast ensure that this remains watchable, but you can't help feeling that it's all been done better elsewhere.
01/30/09
Enjoyable and sweetly engaging, but never quite feels honest about its characters or situations.
01/30/09
NANIP is a film that feeds on the giddy high of life’s potential, and the first tingling flush of romance. So if you’re a 65-year-old grave-digger who lives alone in a caravan, this is probably not the film for you.
01/30/09
It's inoffensive and, even if the plot feels contrived, the chemistry between Cera and Dennings doesn't.
01/30/09
The mood of the film is refreshingly relaxed on sexuality. One outbreak of homophobia is quickly punished with a headbutt by a butch boy with no name.
01/29/09
Remains resolutely tone-deaf.

Cera and Denning are a winning team.
