Review

In the big-screen version of Rachel Cohn and David Levithan's popular young adult novel, two high-school seniors fall in love over the course of one eventful evening. A straight bass player in a queercore band, Nick (Juno's Michael Cera) has just been dumped by the two-timing Tris (Alexis Dziena). He's committed to making more self-pitying mix CDs until his bandmates convince him to help track down a top-secret rock concert. Meanwhile, Norah (Charlie Bartlett's Kat Dennings) and her hard-partying pal, Caroline (Ari Graynor), set off on the same journey. Nora had never met Nick, but she already had a crush on him (While attending the same school as Tris, she's been enjoying the mixes Nick keeps making--and Tris keeps throwing away). When the inebriated Caroline goes missing, they spend the rest of the night racing around the Lower East Side in his Yugo looking for the friend, the show, and trying to avoid Tris (Norah's ex-boyfriend, Tal (Tropic Thunder's Jay Baruchel), presents further complications). Peter Sollett's follow-up to Raising Victor Vargas aims to please several audiences at once. It starts out like a less dirty-minded Superbad, morphs into a post-millennial After Hours, and ends as a Big Apple take on Before Sunset. It's sweet and funny, but could use more of its own identity, though Cera and Dennings make for an appealing couple and the supporting performers, especially Graynor and Kevin Corrigan in a wordless cameo, enhance the proceedings considerably. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Release Note

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.


Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

The film follows Nick (Michael Cera) and Norah (Kat Denning), both playing archetypal awkward high-schoolers deeply uncomfortable in their own skins, on a crazy one-night New York odyssey in search of cult indie band Where’s Fluffy. Nick has just been dumped by his sexpot Catholic school girlfriend, Tris, to whom he expressed his otherwise trapped feelings through a series of mix cd’s. In a metaphor for their relationship, bubble-headed Tris throws these cd’s away. But as the saying goes, one woman’s trash is another’s treasure, and Norah is deeply touched when she finds and listens to the cd’s. A series of odd events brings Nick and Norah together one night, and they become enjoined in a quest to find Where’s Fluffy, Norah’s lost (in so many ways) friend Caroline, and their true feelings for each other. There is a long tradition of classic high school quest movies. The Goonies, Adventures in Babysitting, and Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle are but a few of the great ones. Sadly, Nick and Norah pales in comparison. This is mainly because the film, in an effort to make Nick and Norah’s reserve, awkwardness and stand-off-ishness palpable, keeps such a tight lid on their inner vulnerabilities that they end up seeming one dimensional, and frankly, boring. There is the other little matter of implausibility. Would a high schooler today make a mix cd? Eat gum that fell in a toilet? Entrust a drunken BFF to strangers who offer to take her home? The list goes on as the infinite (in the sense of I-Wish-It-Would-End) Playlist continues. Which brings me to the one thing that is beyond reproach; and that is the music. It’s a fun, funky, fresh indie array- and it almost makes me understand why Norah fell for Nick in the first place. Review by - Katriona MacIver, Tower.com.
