I'm quite picky with films, and it's rare that I'd pick up and indeed decide to buy a DVD which I've never heard of, or wasn't familiar with any of the actors or director. Sometimes, however you do judge a book (or indeed film) by it's cover. A picture of a grungy looking guy and girl with earphones in the shape of a heart around them and the quirky title 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' suggested to me this is a teenage romance with a decent soundtrack. I was right, but not only that, it's very funny. The story is fairly standard teen flick stuff however. The film follows Nick O'Leary after he is left heartbroken after being dumped by his squeaky, ...  Read the complete review

I thought this film looked pretty good, and as I really like Michael Cera in Juno, I thought I'd give this a go since it was only £3.98 on amazon, a complete bargain! PLOT The story in this film covers just one night in Nick and Norah's life. Nick has been dumped by Tris, his girlfriend on 6 months and is completely heart broken.

There's rumours that a band all the characters love will be playing a secret gig that night, which leads Norah to go out in New York with her friend Caroline, Tris to go out with her new ...  Read the complete review

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is another in a long glut of quirky films to come out of the US in the past couple of years. If you have seen 'Juno' or the recent 'Adventureland' then you will know the sort of direction that this film goes in. The film concerns Nick (Michael Cera) and Norah (Kat Dennings) two high schoolers with mutual friends who one evening end up getting it together. Basically that's the plot of the film in a nutshell, not much more to say there. Michael Cera can be a little irritating to begin with, if you have watched any of his recent work in films like Year One and Superbad, then you will understand that he has a very ...  Read the complete review

Having really enjoyed Juno and loved Michael Cera in that film I was awaiting Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist with great anticipation of another quirky comedy in the same vein. Unfortunately I have to say that for me this film did not tick quite so many boxes. Plot ==== This film is a coming of age type of comedy and it follows a group of friends all around the 17/18 mark as they deal with the trials and tribulations of relationships and the associated dramas they bring. In particular it follows the title characters Nick O'Leary and Norah Silverberg who are thrown together somewhat by fate - he used to date her frienemy Tris who ...  Read the complete review
