Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) Film Review

Plot Summary - Teen romantic comedy all set on one night out and about on the streets of NYC. High schooler Norah (Kat Dennings) is out on the town with her best gal pal Caroline in search of her favorite band "Where's Fluffy?", rumored to be appearing at a secret night spot somewhere in New York City that night. Nick (Michael Cera) is a guy recently dumped by one Tris, third sort-of-gal-pal of the two girl's and recipient of Nick's CD mixes he makes for her in some sort of warped recovery effort. The girl's are all at a club that night where Norah comes on to Nick (who she's never met) in order to make bitchy Tris jealous. Soon Norah ends up on the town with Nick and his band members, all searching for "Where's Fluffy?, while drunken Caroline ends up in the back of the guy's van. Problems when Caroline disappears and Tris starts coming on to Nick again. But - Nick and Norah love all the same music - and hey, their first kiss made it look like they were a match!

Review - Cute movie, good music, and lots of on-location scenes in my fave NYC. Actor Michael Cera makes for a very likable character in all films I've seen him in - he seems nerdy, yet attractive - just the type I like (no, I don't have a crush, I just think he makes a nice match in these teen films). Rating - 8/10 stars
