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]

I would love the film more if the film didn't love itself so much.

No doubt there will be more sour to come in both Nick and Norah's lives, but for the duration of this film, things remain irresistibly sweet.

There are many, many things to love about this movie, starting with the sweet love story, the charm and chemistry of the two stars, and the amazingly great photography of New York City. It's also full of fun little details, as well as memorable and affect

Cera and Dennings both play more or less real people, much smarter and more thoughtful than your average movie teenagers.

"Before Sunrise" for the Stereogum set. It's easy to get swept up in this romance thanks to vibrant nocturnal cinematography, realistic dialogue Diablo Cody can't hang with and solid acting. If she's smart, Kat Dennings may be the next Diane Keaton.

After all, nothing's funnier than a sloppy drunk fishing her chewing gum out of a public toilet she's just puked in, right?

I haven't made a list, but this has to be one of the best high school/coming-of-age/romantic/comedy films of the past decade.

Invested in ephemera, not people -- never more so then when the couple gets busy in a recording studio and the camera chooses to pivot and pan sensuously across the synthesizer.

What makes the film work in spite of itself is [director] Sollett's sympathy for his characters and the teamwork between Cera and Dennings, whose winsome sultriness seems entirely unaffected.

Sure, the movie is completely predictable down to the very last shot, but when everyone is jamming as well together as the cast and crew do here, it's easy to give yourself over to its groove.

[Cera and Dennings] have that hard-to-define chemistry that makes you believe their characters are not only predestined but deserving of being together.

[K]inda like Ferris Bueller's Night Out, but way less snarky and way sweeter, and the whole gang is Ferris.

Nick and Norah, and their assorted pals drift fluidly between irony-as-defense and taking both themselves, and the idea of love, very seriously. The result is a film that's much more of a traditional teen romance, but also a more honest one.

Predictable, but cute, this teen comedy gets by on the charm of its two leads and a willingness to embrace romance over cynicism.

A meandering Manhattan travelogue with a payoff worth the wait, some gross moments notwithstanding.
