I walked out on this movie. It was that bad.

I walked out of this movie. It was that bad. Watching this movie was alittle above getting a root canal.The only good part might have been the drunk friend and her taintedtoilet gum. If there was any chemistry between the two main charactersin this "romantic" comedy, I guess I failed to see it. They could havereplaced Michael Cera with a potato and you wouldn't notice. As formopey Kat Dennings, well, besides the fact that she can't act, we allknow why she was cast in this movie. Hey it's the big fat elephant inthe room!If I were 13 years old I might have found this film c00l, not to insultthe intelligence of 13 year olds, but I wouldn't be surprised if anyother audience range with some sense of reality found this film to be acomplete piece of sht!

Fails to live up to its promise

**1/2With his roles in mainstream hits such as "Superbad" and "Juno," Michael Cera catapulted himself to the head of the class as the modern-day geek of choice for teen comedies (he`s sort of to the 2000s what Molly Ringwald was to the 1980s, a figure average adolescents can relate to). In "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," Cera continues in that mode, playing a straight member of an otherwise all-gay rock band who can't get over the fact that his pretty but snooty girlfriend, Tris, has dumped him for another guy. One wild night, while in the city with his band mates, the lovesick Nick hooks up with Norah Silverberg, a less pretty but far more authentic girl who attends the same Catholic girls' school as Tris and who discovers, much to her delight, that, in Nick, she may have finally found her "musical soul mate." With a screenplay by Lorene Scafaria (derived from the novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan) and direction by Peter Sollett, "Nick and Norah`s Infinite Playlist" is an amiable but scattered little comedy that never seems to completely find its footing or to come up with any kind of purposeful meaning or direction. Filled with jokes and comic concepts that either don't lead anywhere or that simply fall flat, the movie fails to do justice to its youthful and exuberant cast that includes, in addition to Cera, Kat Dennings, Alexis Dziena, Aaron Yoo, Rafi Gavron, Ari Graynor and Jonathan B. Wright. The movie does an impressive job not overly stereotyping its gay characters (though a little of that sneaks in anyway), and there are fleeting moments of tenderness and charm as Nick and Nora work on cementing their relationship, but the movie's lack of a clear-cut focus proves yet again that "niceness" alone isn`t enough to guarantee a quality movie.

It's all very sweet and there's no mistaking how the film's going to end. But it's also smart, funny and further proof of Michael Cera's comic talent.

Just OK

I am not quite sure where all these 5-star reviews come from. In my opinion, it was an OK movie that tried very-very hard to be cute, romantic, and "trendy" (in a music sense), but failed. It was just good enough for me to finish watching it. The reasons why didn't like this movie very much are:1. Very little chemistry between Nick and Norah. While I liked Michael Cera's character (by the way, I can't truly call Cera an actor, so far he's played the same type of a guy - cute, emotional and nerdy), Norah completely disappointed me - whiny and insecure to an annoying extent. I didn't quite believe in their "love." Plus the sex scene after 5 hours of knowing each other felt totally unnecessary, in my opinion.2. The supposed 17-18-year-olds act like they are 25. Hopping bars, drinking, having sex, staying out till 5 am. Where are their parents, I wonder?3. I could have done very well without Norah's friend story line. This girl annoyed me enormously and wasn't funny at all.4. Finally, while this movie is supposed to be about the music (at least that's what the title implies anyway), music played a very small part in the movie. It didn't feel organic to the story, just a background noise.I am not sure why this movie came out the way it did. Maybe something got lost in translation from book onto screen? I can't answer that, simply because I am not interested enough to pick up the book to compare.

Good Karma

Peter Sollett's "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" is the sweetestand most charming movie of the year. It is also hysterical. Yes, "Nickand Norah" is predictable by virtue of being romantic comedy. However,Writer Lorene Scafaria's adaptation of Rachel Cohn and David Levithan'sbook is more than just teen angst and high jinx. "Nick and Norah"surprises in its characters' authenticity, and here the journey is asjoyous as the outcome. Scarfaria's screenplay may win an Oscarnomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. It is that good. "Nick andNorah's Infinite Playlist" has the genuine feel of last year's "Juno",and the great music to back up its title.Michael Cera and Kat Dennings are amazing as Nick and Norah. Cera isperhaps a Tom Hanks slacker version. He nails the universal teenenduring the world with a big heart. Dennings gives a breakthroughperformance. She is deceptively funny, pretty and very smart. In awonderful scene gay band mate Thom (Aaron Yoo) says to Nicky, "Youstill haven't figured it out yet?" The Beatles got it—"I Want to HoldYour Hand". He grabs Nick's hand and tells him, "…It's about this." Fortemporarily obtuse Nicky, Thom is talking about Norah.Nick (Cera) is a high school senior and the straight bass player forthe gay band "The Jerk Offs", along with is buds Thom (Yoo) and Dev(Rafi Gavron). As we first meet Nick, he comes off as a wellintentioned pathetic loser. He records CD mixes of his favorite songsfor his ex-girlfriend Tris (hot and vapid Alexis Dziena). Though itbecomes immediately obvious that Nick is not at all a loser, and thatTris is beyond bitch. The latter of course is transparent to Thom andDev, and lost upon Nick.Norah (Dennings) and her best friend Caroline (cute and scattered AriGraynor) attend an all girls' school with Tris (Dziena). Tris painfullymocks and discards Nick's CDs. Norah, who listens to the CD discards,may have found her soul mate in Nick, whom she has never met. Thethread that binds them all is finding the secret concert of theirfavorite band "Where's Fluffy" somewhere in New York City. For directorSollett the city is a living and breathing character. He and Scarfariaalso make the most hilarious and creative use of chewing gum.Dev and Thom coax Nick out of his self pity exile to play a gig at aclub in the city. Norah and Caroline are also at the club, along withTris and her "mall stalker" boyfriend. Norah notices Nick playing inthe band. Caroline remarks, "You're practically blowing him with youreyes!" Under contrived circumstance Norah asks Nick to pose as herboyfriend for 5 minutes. Norah soon realizes that Nick is Tris's ex.It's Nick and Norah's karma.Cera and Dennings have amazing chemistry and heart which are thehallmarks of "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist". We cheer for theirNick and Norah, because they are just decent and authentic souls. Theirjourney is wrought with angst, humor, and all heart. Nick ridiculouslysuffers over Norah's ex—Tal (funny arrogant Jay Baruchel), who is her"friend with benefits". He still hasn't figured out that he and Norahare falling in love, and that Tris (Dziena) is all wrong.Cera perfectly plays Nick as a guy, who thinks way too much, when heshould listen to his heart. Dennings embodies Norah as the girl, whoreally doesn't get that she is amazing, overshadowed in insecurity andcompensating by having it all figured out. She can't see that she hasit all over Tris. In a very nice scene Nick tells Norah, "You'rebeautiful." Cera and Dennings have many memorable moments be it arguingin Nick's yellow Yugo or Nick giving Norah his jacket to protect herfrom the cold. One that stands out: Norah while nursing drunkenCaroline says to Nick, "I was thinking about Brown… It would be kind ofnice knowing someone an hour away." Nick gives Norah a moisten handwipe from the last time his family had Chinese food. Smart funnywriting, amazing performances, and good karma make "Nick and Norah'sInfinite Playlist" among the year's best movies.

Very slight but does have a detached, awkward charm to it that is helped by fairly frequent laughs and amusing moments

Nick is a bassist in his friend's band, which is today called TheJerk-Offs. He goes to play with them at a small venue despite hisbroken heart and unending attempts to get back with Tris through themedium of mixtapes. At the venue he is not only confronted with Triswith a new guy but also with the equally geeky and awkward Norah, whohas admired Nick unseen by listening to his mix CD's when Tris binsthem unheard. Their love of similar music sees them seeking out asecret gig by the band Where's Fluffy but things go wrong along theway, throwing them into chaos which may morph into a first date.If the title and the (very good) soundtrack doesn't tell you what toexpect from this film then the main cast almost certainly will becausewe are firmly in "awkwardly-cool" territory. With this in mind it isbest to approach with caution if you're not a fan of this because thereis not a lot more than this to win over the casual viewer. Thenarrative itself will not be enough because the story is a pretty loosethread about Nick and Norah falling for one another against a backdropof a "cool, crazy night in NYC"™, which is a thread that doesn't reallywork. The style of the characters is of geeky detachment and this doeshave the knock-on effect on the story by never making the viewer reallycare that much for the characters as real people or getting thatengaged in the story. Fortunately, if you like this sort of thing, youwill find that it does have enough awkward charm to carry it off as asort of quirky youthful piece but even then you won't find a romancethat has much beyond this superficial charm. Instead the film rides this free-wheeling charm for as long as it can.As my partner observed, few people this age are really this sorted,cool and free but the film needs them to be for this to work so theyare. They have the run of NYC without limits of space, time or money tohinder them and in this regard the audience is drawn into this worldand it felt fresh and fun. The laughs are sporadic but frequent enoughto hold the attention while generally the aforementioned charm held mein a genial state where I was happy being even when the film wasn'tworking that well. The side characters help this a lot as they have nopressure on them narratively and so can be superficial and fun andstill work.The casting of Cera is hardly a stretch since this awkward stuff is hisbread and butter. It would be nice to see him do something else(although I still want the Arrested Development film) but he is solidhere, doing what is expected of him. Dennings is the same, doingawkward/ironic detachment very well and complimenting the overall styleof the film. As I said though, the problem is that, with so muchgeeky-cool detachment the central relationship doesn't really work evenif their charm means we quite like the characters. Yoo, Gavron andGaynor are all fun and light in supporting roles that add energy andmovement to the story but I felt a bit for Dziena who is a very simplemanipulative character without any sense of being a real person belowthis. I'm told that this is not the case in the book so I may read thatin the future. As suggested by the title of the film, the soundtrack isreally good and fits the characters and feel of the film.As a total product though, Nick & Norah is not a film that will beembraced by a mass audience. It is far too slight and superficial todraw the audience into the central relationship and it does rely oncharm and an energetic and youthful tone to carry it through. Don't getme wrong - I found it charming, nice and quite fun, generally enjoyingit but the minute it ended the memory started to fade and it is one ofthose films that does the job but not to the extent that it makes anysort of lasting impression.

Didn't make the cut.

This tried to be a coming of age film, and did explore coming of age for those who are in their mid 20's.The acting was great, the humor was great, but if you want to see character development, you'll get that, but not character development that I could relate to.PLOT SPOILERS:1. Who in the world would drive away from a long time girlfriend who is doing a strip tease for you? That's just rude even if you're going to break it off.2. It's not realistic that one of the two leads is super rich, connected to the music industry, and can just walk into any club. Like I can relate to that?3. The guy was a 3 ((I'm no better, I can relate to his looks)) the girl was a super model pining away for *him*?? In real life, super models have guys around ever bush waiting to cater to them, so they don't 'pine away' for 3's, unless they have problems, which this girl did not.4. How many guys do you know that can play in a band like they are not into it, have three well adjusted gay male friends who only care about spending all night to help him pursue a girl he doesn't even want, including jumper cables on call, and actually know how to read the mind of the girl the guy doesn't even know he wants, but she secretly pines away for him?I was glad to see gay guys not somehow stop the plot, I wouldn't mind having them as friends (who wouldn't). I just don't believe that any van load of young men drive around all night trying to promote heterosexuality upon someone with someone they don't even know they want. I mean, I don't believe heteros would do that either, do you have three gay guys waiting to move your furniture at 4 am? If so, then I'm so so ignorant that I still couldn't relate to that, I need more gay friends because, my lawn needs mowing, my house needs painting, etc.

A Fun Movie About True Friendship, Moving on After Being Dumped and a Great Night Out!

I'd never actually heard of this movie before seeing it on the shelf one day. I've always quite liked actor Michael Cera in the TV series Arrested Development and in other movies such as Superbad, so I thought I'd give it a go. I had never heard of the other actors in the film but they all play their parts really well as does Cera who granted does play a very similar nice and a bit nerdy guy character to his one in Superbad and other movies. This is a nice simple story, based on the same titled young adult novel by Rachel Cohn. We have a depressed Nick (Cera) not quite facing reality that his ex girlfriend Triss (Alexis Dziena), has dumped him, isn't a very nice person and isn't interested in the latest mixed burnt CD he has made for her. His best friends who he also plays in a band with are as loyal as any friends can ever be and want him to come play a gig with them to get over Triss. Oh did I mention the band has no drummer. Anyway by pure coincidence Nick's favourite band Where's Fluffy, an underground band that only ever plays spontaneous secret gigs is rumoured to be making an appearance in a club somewhere in New York. So with the enticement of tracking down and seeing the elusive Where's Fluffy, Nick decides to play the gig. Unbeknownst to Nick, Norah (Kat Dennings), a fellow student in his ex's school and victim of her bullying, has been saving those burnt CDs Triss has been ridiculing and throwing in the bin. She is also a fan of Where's Fluffy and hopes to track down them down with her friend Caroline (Ari Graynor), who's putting it nicely a bit of a drunk. What follows is a film with a lot of funny moments, and demonstrations of absolute loyalty and friendship amongst Norah and Caroline as well as Nick and his band/friends. Where Nick and Norah's relationship ends up is a bit predictable yes, but the fun is in getting there! The drunk Caroline provides quite a few laughs as well, and incidentally if you don't think the gum thing would happen in real life then you're probably not old enough to be in nightclubs and such where you often see drunks do a lot worse and stupid things than that. A great character who doesn't have any lines but provides a lot of funny moments and is also the often mistaken for a taxi by drunks, is the yellow Yugo which is Nick's car. This is a fun feel good film, check it out!

Mick LaSalle 2012-05-04 19:29:58

It plays like a movie inspired by good movies, not by the emotion that inspires good movies. Still, the appeal of Cera and Dennings keep the movie within the realm of a mildly good time.

Jeffrey Westhoff 2012-05-04 01:56:27

Cera and Denning are a winning team.

Indie Teen Comedy with a Great Soundtrack

I remember back about a year ago I stumbled upon a film called Juno,one of the stars of which was Michael Cera. Now, one of the many thingsI really liked that film was the understated performance of said MrCera. And so we come to 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist', a reallybad title IMHO. It's not a bad film, there's a lot to admire, it justfell slightly short of the mark for me. But more of that later, let metell you a little of the rather complicated plot…Nick is depressed, he's been dating Tris for a while and she's dumpedhim. He spends his time making mix CDs for her and generally feelingsorry for himself. Oh, and he's a huge fan of a band called 'Where'sFluffy'. Anyway, he is in a band himself, and the other band members,Thom and Dev, who are gay by the way, decide to take him out into NewYork, where they have a gig. Meanwhile, Norah and her best friend,Caroline, are also planning a night out in the Big Apple. They knowTris from school and Norah has been listening to, and liking, Nick'sCDs that Tris has thrown away. Nick's band is playing in a club whenTris walks in with her new boyfriend. Of course Nick is distracted bythis. Caroline has got drunk and Norah is left alone. When Tris comesup to her and asks her who she's with, she says she's with herboyfriend and proceeds to go and kiss Nick, who she's never met before.(Complicated enough so far?) Deciding to help Norah take Caroline home,Nick helps them to his car but before they can leave, the rest of theband decide Nick and Norah should get together and offer to takeCaroline home so the couple can go and find where 'Fluffy' is playingthat night (it's a secret). From here there are adventures, love, hate,kidnapping and a whole bunch of stuff you're better off finding out bywatching it yourselves (he said, wanting to keep the spoiler count to aminimum).I found it quite an engaging film for the most part, with a really goodsoundtrack and some good performances. The budget was obviously not thebiggest, but I thought they production team did a great job despitethis. So, good performances from Michael Cera as Nick, Kat Dennings asNorah, Aaron Yoo as Thom, Rafi Gavron as Dev, Ari Graynor as Carolineand Alexis Dziena as Tris.It's a nice gentle teen comedy with some really great moments in it,but, for me, it kind of lost its way towards the end. When I felt thestory should be building to a big finish, it all kind of fell flat.Nothing to do with the performances, I think the writers must have justrun out of ideas. For all that, it's a pretty nice watch and I kind ofrecommend the first three quarters… but you'll watch all of it, I knowyou will.My score: 6.2/10

An excellent juvenile comedy

I felt the almost complete absence of juvenile comedies on commercialcinema on recent years weird,but compensating that,we have theexcellent movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist which,under PeterSollet's precise direction,combines intelligent and funny humor withhonest and realistic romance.This movie is based on a book,and that canpartially explain why it has perfectly constructed characters,whoempathize with the spectator.Besides,I admired how the screenplayavoids every single cliché from juvenile comedies...in other words,wewill not find athletic villains,idiot adults or love declarations on anairport,sport event or at the graduation party.Nick and Norah...perfectly captures the emotion and confusion a lot of teenagersexperiment.I think this movie is a combination between After Hours andBefore Sunset,but on a juvenile way.For one sight,it portraits anever-ending night in which the relationship between two young peopleis developed.And,for the other sight,Nick and Norah... shows thebizarre night adventures in New York a group of eccentric characterslive,at the same time their trip is more important than the finaldestination.The best element from this movie are the characters and theway in which they interact,which is not why the screenplay says so,butbecause the illusion of reality is perfect and they simple interact asnormal young people.The soundtrack is also excellent,because every songaccompanies the tone of the scenes,so their presence is notarbitrary.The only fail I found on this movie is that a few dialoguesfelt a little bit forced.But,in spite of that minimum fail,I liked thismovie very much.Nick and Norah... is a brilliant juvenile comedy withan excellent screenplay,solid performances and a competentdirection,and those attributes are not usually found on the sub-genus"juvenile comedies".

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.

Awful.

"Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" is a romantic teen-comedy directedby Peter Sollet, based on a book of the same title by Rachel Cohn andDavid Levithan. It's meant to be sweet, charming romance between twopeople who find each other through the eclectic melodies of the modernurban music scene, their near-identical music taste bringing themtogether in the chaos of high school and downtown New York. Music hasserved as the impetus for many relationships in this day and age, and"Nick & Norah" seeks to present a unique yet quintessential story oftwo people who fall into this kind of romance. However, this "Infinite"playlist comes up aggravatingly short. For all the hype the movie gaveitself about sporting an indie playlist featuring names like VampireWeekend and Band of Horses, "Nick & Norah" is not a movie about musicwhatsoever. Take a movie like High Fidelity, a romantic comedy centeredon music. High Fidelity used its encyclopedic knowledge of great musicto explain the inexplicable complexities of life and relationships.You'd think that a movie about two people's infinite playlist wouldimply that the film would focus on using good music to effectivelyaccompany some important adolescent-romantic moments, or that theywould at least talk about a song or two, of which it does neither.Other than their brief tour of Electric Lady studios and a timid Curereference, "Nick & Norah" either leaves the music on this infiniteplaylist as an indefinite pronoun (Nick & Norah's indefinite pronoun,rather) or stays so cozily in the comfort zone of mainstream music(think of two people reveling in their serendipitous mutual adorationof The Beatles) that it comes off as utterly phony. The most irritatingthing about this movie is how it scathingly mocks the lives of truemusic enthusiasts by starring two teenage pseudo-music enthusiasts whouse the movie's musical obsession, the fictional band "Where's Fluffy,"as a superficial social segregator. Protagonists in the movie love"Where's Fluffy." Antagonists utter things along the lines of "oh yeah,I love Whose Fluffy," to which our cool Nick and Norah sigh and rolltheir eyes. Throughout the movie, our heroes search for this mysteryconcert. After all their searching, all we see or hear of thisillustrious band is a few enigmatic slow-motion clips of them waltzingonto a stage in ripped jeans and dingy converses to plug in a fewguitars before N & N, satisfied entirely with their discovery of theconcert, up and leave before the first song, god forbid they actuallyenjoy the music they blabber on about to each other. "Where's Fluffy"is the macguffin-like, shallow embodiment of "good music taste" in themovie, that certain hip quality the writers wanted Nick & Norah to havethat would identify them with the obnoxious hipster crowd. It is not amovie about two people who find each other through music, it is a movieabout two teenagers who pretend to be music enthusiasts who use "goodmusic taste" to socially profile the rest of the stereotyped cast andto serve as a hollow excuse for their affection. Sollet would have donewell to watch a few music-centered romantic comedies before he gotstarted on this bile-evoking byproduct of adolescent pretense.

It's about time we had an answer to Sixteen Candles, Superbad and Dazed and Confused set in New York City.

Where's Fluffy? In The Yugo

Oh, did I ever enjoy this movie. It was just about perfect. It felt a little like Almost Famous, High Fidelity (without the angst), and any good road trip movie. Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous) acts, looks and moves very much like Michael Cera (Nick). They are young, a little geeky, skinny, and in love with incredibly gorgeous women that don't necessarily know it right away (Kate Hudson in Almost Famous and Kat Dennings in Nick and Nora). There's the same kind of intelligent innocence in both films. Both characters come of age, but in such a believable normal way. Both films deeply love music. Almost Famous soundtrack is so much more incredible, but Nick and Nora's soundtrack is no slouch.The two lead characters are so likeable, you want them to be together, you want this whole movie to work out happy. Michael Cera turns in another understated, wonderful performance in the same way he brought home Superbad. Kat Dennings is an incredibly beautiful charming actress. She looks a little like Liv Tyler, but takes it up about two or three notches. She hasn't been in any really big movies, Charlie Bartlett is probably the biggest hit she's been in. Expect to see some wonderful things from her in the future. The supporting cast was wonderful. You get a little homage to Harold and Kumar (Nick and Nora is equally a road trip movie) with Harold introducing Fluffy. And the Yugo. There was this wonderful other character, the Yugo. How appropriate, it has a mind of its own, starts whenever it feels like it. How the film company found a running Yugo (well actually that's not true, they do still run since they Have Fiat engines). The soundtrack, music is Nick's life. He loves it. He makes mix discs. Norah loves music. It's her life. But they don't really know eachother. By happenstance they meet at one of Nick's band's performances. They then try to find Fluffy, a band. And it's clear, they fall in love at that first meeting. The rest of the movie is spent trying to get the two together. I totally bought this film. I loved the music, it fit the mood, and added to the pacing. It was never stupid like so many movies. It enhanced the film. The filming was done very well. Night in New York, not an easy view to capture. Lighting was consistently right. Focus was perfect through virtually the whole film. In fact there was a moment in the Yugo when focus began to slip away slowly, until you saw that it racked to the lipstick kiss on the windshield. Nick turns on the winshield washers and wipers, erases the kiss, and then focus racks back to his face. Subtle, but perfect use of focus. There was just the right amount of surround in the sound, it wasn't obtrusive or call attention to itself, you were just enveloped with the sound. Editing was well done. This is a movie about music, and those films tend to spend way too much time on cameo bad band appearances. Nick and Norah balanced the band time and character time perfectly. So pacing was just about spot on. The film is definately PG-13. I would almost put this one just a touch higher to around 15 years old. There's a few scenes that are a bit mature for most 13/14 year olds, some intimate scenes, language, and drinking. There is absolutely no nudity. There are PG-13 films that slightly younger children could watch, this is definately not one of those movies. I think this film caters to a lot of different audiences. It's not really a guy or a chick flick; it's just a darn good romantic movie that I think a lot of guys would like also. I'm not sure I really see an upper older age limit on this film. It seemed universal to me, much in the same way Almost Famous spoke to different ages. I actually got a bit of chills when they enter the recording studio with a bit of Hendrix playing in the background, and Nick picks up a very well worn Fender Stratocaster (you are made to believe this might be Hendrix's guitar, instead I'm thinking it's really a Fender Road Worn brand new guitar). Sadly, he doesn't play the guitar. The DVD is chock full 'o bonus features. There's the usual deleted, making of, commentary tracks, and music videos. If you are the impatient kind, Kat Dennings does a really cute paper puppet reinactment of the whole film in 5 minutes (it's funny). Eddie Kaye Thomas (Paul Finch in American Pie) does a cameo as Jesus, and does a faux interview with Kat and Michael (sort of funny). Overall, this is a DVD well worth purchasing. I loved the cast, music, and really bought into the story.

With the right touches of casting and chemistry, even the thinnest of premises can become weighty in sheer charm.

a surprising good and funny teen movie

The boy with the sheep dog eyes meets the girl who loves his mix cds made for his previous girl friend. The night of adventure for the partying kids is very realisticwith drunk scenes. I liked this movie because the people seemed closer to real teenagers that most of these movies.Finding Fluffy seems to be their goal?
