Movie Review – Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (2008) – 3 Stars
With a killer indie rock backing track, ‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist’ tells the story of awkward teenage sexual attraction on a New York City night. Michael Cera and Kat Dennings play their roles well, and the main issue with the movie seems to be how they’ve cut and re-arranged the sub-stories within Rachel Cohn and David Levithan’s novel of the same name. As a result, the film suffers from jolted pacing and a couple of scenes that leave you thinking, “Wait, what just happened then?” Aside from this, however, the film is quite a light and enjoyable theatrical romp.
