A night on the town with these two hip, quick-with-a-quip teens lacks spark and drags, even at 90 minutes.

Reviews for Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Seems like it was made by a ghost alien from Triton, moon of Neptune.
10/02/08
Sputters like a broken iPod ... Cera's Juno character would probably hate this movie.
10/02/08
An often delightful love story.
10/02/08
Even Michael Cera's unique brand of awkwardness can't save this frustratingly weak adaptation.
10/01/08
Nick and Norah's playlist may be infinite, but the enjoyment they provide is definitely limited.
10/01/08
a charming valentine to young love, cool music and New York City after dark.
10/01/08
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is one of those magical, near-perfect youth romances, a film that so vividly reminds you of the glories of young love that you wish you were 18 again, full of hope, not jaded by life and love lost.
10/01/08
The dialogue is witty enough to separate Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist from the rom-com continuum of dumb screenplays, but not so witty that it will receive a Diablo Cody-level backlash.
10/01/08
Top Critic[D]espite an appealing cast and a tone of mildly sardonic sweetness, the movie is missing that X factor that makes you understand why the characters fall for each other and gets you to root for them being together.
10/01/08
The marvelous, magical boy-meets-girl-in-the-city-that-never-sleeps romantic comedy Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist is a revolutionary movie disguised as a familiar story.
10/01/08
Top CriticCera and Dennings’ pouting is obviously not clever or even jaded enough for their stale one-liners to sustain them as anything more than just walking scapegoats for the pretentious.
10/01/08
Unless you believe that Death Cab for Cutie’s lyrics really speak to your life, Nick and Norah’s charms are frustratingly finite.

'Nick and Norah' has an ear for dialogue that doesn't sound contrived. It's sweet - disarmingly so, without seeming saccharine - and it feels effortlessly genuine. The best love stories always do.
10/01/08
As a valentine to the young bridge and tunnel crowd it works wonders.
09/30/08
A pleasant way for old-timers to learn what a 'mix' and a 'playlist' are.
09/26/08
Who needs to go to New York for a weekend when you can let Nick and Norah take you with them?
09/26/08
No doubt, this romantic conversation piece would have been better if Linklater wrote and helmed but the central couple is charming and the nocturnal tale is a valentine to New York with upbeat and darker echoes recalling Allen and Scorsese's After Hours
09/25/08
It's about time we had an answer to Sixteen Candles, Superbad and Dazed and Confused set in New York City.

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.
