"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.
I watched this film at the cinema and was really looking forward to it as it looked so good but was shocked to see only 4 other people watching it. The film was even better than I expected, it was funny and had an amazing soundtrack and had a cool indie/cult feel to it which I love in films. I also love Michael Cera in all the films he's been in and he was amazing in this too. It had funny parts and romantic parts but it wasn't at all cheesy. I left the cinema feeling really happy and couldn't wait to get it on DVD. It an amazing underrated movie that I would recommend to everyone
Writing a list of things that are cool is pretty easy. Let's see - David Byrne, The Beatles and The Interceptor are just a few names that could be considered cool. And I would probably put Nick and Norah up there in the cool category to. But does that make it a good film, well let's find out shall we.
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is a coming of age tale that takes place over one night, with some romance and comedy thrown in for some laughs. In the similar vein of movies past like American Graffiti it stars a cast of young up and coming stars as the leads. In this instance it is Michael Cera; best known perhaps for his work in the film Juno and in the television show arrested Development. He plays the awkward nerd type character that seems to follow him wherever he goes now, however his love interest if you could correctly call her that is Kat Dennings; a feisty young female that I was impressed with and could see going onto big and greener pastures in the near future. A lot of praise has been forwarded in the direction of co-star Ari Graynor who plays the drunk and at times hilarious disgusting friend of Norah. However for me it was Kat Dennings as Norah that was the highlight. Having never seen much of her work before it was a pleasant surprise to see her perform in this little teen comedy.
As the title hints at, there is a strong emphasises on music throughout the film and the soundtrack that accompanies the film is pretty great. The particular highlight for me was a song from Devendra Banhart and the small but funny scene that followed. It is always great when a film introduces a new artist into your life that you have never heard that turns out to be thumbs up worthy. The plot of the film is alright, nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary that will set the aisles of the cinema or your living room alight. It is your typical romantic comedy fair with boy meets girl, boy talks to girl, boy likes girl, and you can pretty much take it from there and give a good guess at what the end may be. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Not every movie you sit down to watch needs to be earth shatteringly brilliant that it changes the whole way you look at life, sometimes you just want a film that can was over you and give you a couple of laughs and keep you entertained for however long it is. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist does just that.

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.
Romantic teen comedy set in the world of New York's indie rock scene. High school senior and indie band member Nick O'Leary (Michael Cera) is heartbroken after being dumped by the unfeeling Tris (Alexis Dziena). When he is unexpectedly thrust together with Norah (Kat Dennings), and the pair embark on a rambling and often surreal all-night quest for a secret gig by a legendary band, all his ideas about romantic encounters are blown apart.
