I really enjoyed this movie and might even go as far as to say it might be the Some Kind Of Wonderful for the i-Pod generation; its got a similar light-hearted, coming-of-age charm.
Plot rundown - having met in a club where his band are playing, Nick and Norah are thrust together by their respective circumstances and set out to find a secret gig of their favourite underground band.

Its got some witty dialogue and comic characters but anyone hoping for an out and out comedy should look elsewhere. Michael Cera's character is a cross between his in Superbad and Eric Stoltz's in Some Kind Of Wonderful and his likeability comes across well. You learn more about the characters as the night progresses and they both subtley endear themselves to the audience.
This film has enough in it to entertain both sexes, young and old and a quality soundtrack to boot. Recommended
This film tries very hard to catch the indie-cool of Juno but comes up short. Its funny in places, but too self-consciously cool and strays too much into the gross-out humour, whilst lacking the real heart of the best of recent comedies.
Every generation deserves its own too-cool-for-school teen movie. For some of us it was Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Others had Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Heathers, or Dazed and Confused, or Human Traffic… They may not seem cool to older folk, but what do the young care about that? Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist sets out to be such a film. It relates a night in the life of two teen misfits. Nick (a typically decent and befuddled Michael Cera) might be cool - he’s...
