Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist celebrates nerdiness, mix-tapes, love, and all those quirky things that make life grand {and utterly painful}. It's a fun film that enjoys the moment even when it doesn't make sense {and I mean REALLY doesn't make sense}.

I think the demographic for this one is extremely limited, but the solid ensemble cast led by indie 'it' boy of the moment, Michael Cera, actually makes this film watchable. As Nick, Cera mopes his way through the entire 90 minutes even when happy. Norah played by Kat Denning is uniquely beautiful--hope to see more of her. Nick's queer friends Thom (Aaron Yoo) and Dev (Rafi Gavron) get the some of the best comedic and sweet dialogue.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist also consists of some great indie bands of now. We Are Scientists, Vampire Weekend, and Natalie Portman ex Devandra Banhart cameos. Nestled alongside is Dusty Springfield--go figure. Kids, these days.

Nick and Norah Infinite Playlist is cute in a MySpace-y-OMG kinda way. Fun, but forgettable.
