“In this age of super-broad comedies and sexed-up teen films, there comes Nick and Norahu0026#39;s Infinite Playlist. Itu0026#39;s all-too-easy to groan at the thought of sitting down to a high school film these days, yet u0026#39;Nick u0026amp; Norahu0026#39; attempts to make you rethink that. It tries to achieve that so rare of an achievement; it tries to make a genuine and honest teen comedy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt succeeds.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMichael Cera, that king of adorable dorkiness, stars as Nick, the sole straight member of a queer-rock band. Kat Dennings plays Norah, a rocking rich chick who is just as unattracted to teenage pettiness as the rest of us are. These two meet through a random encounter and together set out to try and find the secret show of the aptly titled rock band Whereu0026#39;s Fluffy? They cruise the town like grown adults, yet underneath both are incredibly naive. They argue, fight, flirt, and, yes, fall in love; what makes the film great is how mature and honest a relationship they create. We know from the beginning that it is the destiny of Nick and Norah to get together, yet when they do it is nothing short of soulful. With a wonderfully witty script along for the ride, itu0026#39;s apparent that this is much more than your average teenage comedy. 7/10 stars! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJay Addison”
