Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Reviews
April 5, 2018
Weaknesses: Ari Graynor (Caroline) is typically solid in her roles, but this feels very one note. She's annoying and doesn't do anything but play the drunk girl. It's funny early on. Then, it just gets tired quickly and there are diminishing returns with each of her scenes. Some of the humor is pretty juvenile and those are the weakest comedic moments of the entire film. There's a lack of believability as well, since these high school teens are freely able to drink and go clubbing in New York. The tacked on storyline of Norah having never had an orgasm before felt like a strange one. It came from out of nowhere and led to a seemingly forced scene where Nick gives her one. It's kind of a leap for her character to allow Nick to get that far in their first night together.
Overall: There's a fair amount to like about this movie. It's quirky, tells a fine love story, and has some funny moments. The leads have good chemistry, which helps things along. There are some bits that miss the mark and a few logic leaps. Still, this is a cute little way to spend an hour and a half.
Strengths: It's always crucial in this kind of movie, so the chemistry between the leads has to be good. Thankfully, Michael Cera (Nick) and Kat Dennings (Norah) have it. They work well together. Cera is basically the perfect casting for Nick, as it's the exact kind of character Cera has made a career playing. Most of the supporting cast is strong. Aaron Yoo (Thom) is really funny as Nick's gay friend. There were also some funny cameos from guys like Andy Samberg and John Cho. You can't help but laugh at those guys. For a film about two people who find a connection through their common taste in music, a quality soundtrack is a must and this movie has that. It's good music, but it works very well because it fits the characters and the situations.

A decent romantic movie filled with comedy, romance, and some good music.

Ok, this looks like something I'd watch.

Crass and lightweight, but certainly not without its charms, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist unevenly alternates between sweetness and crudity.

Great old fashion story that takes an 80s style romance film and rejuvenates it for the modern era. Cera is great in the lead role and the cast is full of actors who are now well known faces. This film is a gem waiting to be discovered and is something to recommend.

A really good movie that shows that Micheal Cera is a very underrated actor that can do really good work and this is a great example.

Funny and romantic. Besides, Kat Dennings and Michael Cera are amazing.

Excellent performances from the leads, unique characters, some hilarious one liners, and memorable quotes and cameos can't save this from a barely developed romance, poor directing that feels rushed yet the movie feels long, and writing that just doesn't have much substance or stuff to say. Even the soundtrack isn't very good, which is odd with a title like this. But I will point out that the first and third acts are better than the second.

A awesomely winsome contemporary love story that happened one night, narrated with cute witticism and complimented by a hip soundtrack.

It has a cute story, you fall in love with Kat and Michael from the very start. Good soundtrack too. After watching it you'll get a sugary feeling.

A nearly insufferable parade of cutesy nonsense.

A teen rom-com that works because of it's entertaining leads, "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" is simple fun and definitely worth the watch.

First off, there is no plot. The pacing is slow. Think DAZED AND CONFUSED crossed with LOST IN TRANSLATION, and there you have it. That's not a bad thing at all. I prefer the "go with the flow" narrative style. It fits the film perfectly.
Also, the acting from the entire cast is amazing. You could say that Michael Cera is simply playing the same role here that he played in JUNO and SUPERBAD. You'd be wrong. He's excellent in the title role, as is Kat Denning's, who plays Nora. The performances are so genuine that you feel as if you're not watching a film half the time.
The soundtrack is amazing as well. I am buying the CD.
All in all, I loved this film and I highly recommend it. See it as soon as possible, and you will not regret it!
Every now and then, I see a film that makes me feel so good that I just can't stop thinking about it for weeks. I just saw NICK AND NORAH tonight, and I have to say, it's about to join that list of memorable films.
