Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist (2008). This film caught me by surprise, I was expecting a usual teen film consisting of plastic looking guys and girls with the usual boy meets girl, looses girl and gets girl back formula. Ok it still subscribes to the formula but it’s the way the film has been put together that makes it stand out. The entire style enhances the honesty of the story; it comes across with an uncanny honesty which makes it easy to relate to.
I often get frustrated with American films that have no sense of reality attached to them, no grit, no real emotion. Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist is full of cheesy dialogue but it’s exactly what I would expect the characters to say, I felt like I know people like this! The City is shot as the characters see it, no long flying shots over the great New York, but rather the street and buildings seen from the characters point of view, Reign over me, shot New York in a similar fashion also with fantastic results.
Anyway it’s a cool film with an awesome soundtrack, directed and acted well, no real surprise to the plot line but overall it is still quite satisfying
“I will not be a goody bag at your pity party, Nick.”

Thats great, how bout an opinion?
Yes the movie was ok. There seems to be alot of indie teenager movies around with micheal Cera as their proclaimed king.
