Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist starring Michael Cera (Nick) and Kat Dennings (Norah) is a hilarious blend of funny and cute that has a little something for everyone.
The Good Stuff:
1. The Cast - The movie was composed of mostly new faces with the exception of Michael Cera (Juno, Superbad), who, even though he is not a teen pretty-boy, seems to manage to get his "groove" on hardcore in every movie he’s in! It is nice to finally see the nice guy getting the girl (or girls in his case). You go Nick!!
2. The Story - The story was fun and the plot had a nice flow. I found myself constantly laughing throughout the movie and didn't seem to ever get bored. Even though the movie was an obvious teen love story, it didn't have that movie-of-the-week sappy feeling that often makes me want to heave massive chucks. The movie used parallel plots that seemed to meet up in all the right places (i) Nick and Norah (funny and cute) and (ii) Norah's lost, drunken friend Carolina (raunchy and entertaining).
The Bad Stuff:
1. The Creepy Dance - There is a scene where the movie's mean girl, Tris (Alexis Dziena) does a "sexy" dance. This totally creeped me out. She looked like a Bratz doll in dire need of sandwich (preferably something really fattening like the Wendy's Baconator). A girl with looks like hers is on the fast track towards becoming a regular cast member of the new 90210. EAT SOMETHING!!
2. Where's Fluffy - Throughout most of the movie the group of kids are in search of a band who is rumored to be performing called "Where's Fluffy"...so Where the eff was Fluffy!!!
