Reviews for Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Top CriticIt's a pleasant enough interlude and the young band-crazy target market may get involved, but its appeal is limited and there is nothing especially fresh or novel about the content.
09/19/09
Top CriticThe characters are all stuck on tracks, which might work on other occassions, but not when your underscoring music is all about refusing to follow conventional tracks.
10/28/09
Although a comedy, and one rife with hilarious moments, it's a strikingly heartfelt flick.
08/30/09
A pleasingly jumbled mix CD
08/26/09
With the right touches of casting and chemistry, even the thinnest of premises can become weighty in sheer charm.
03/29/09
A near perfection romance comedy that will appeal to any and all audiences
02/09/09
With a great soundtrack and a plot that requires absolutely nothing of the audience, it's certainly Friday night fodder but could have been so much better.
02/05/09
Nick & Norah is a teen comedy that adults can enjoy. The screenplay, by Lorene Scafaria, manages to be smart and sophisticated, the comedy dry and understated.
02/05/09
The chief running gag, about as funny as a weeping sore, concerns a piece of chewing gum.
02/05/09
Although Nick & Norah is episodic and uneven, it does have considerable charm.
02/05/09
Filled with likeable characters, smart dialogue and cool indie music, it's good natured, hilarious and an outstanding romantic comedy that makes you wish you could be there.
01/31/09
All is forgiven in a wild money shot defining moment, when passion blooms in stereo off camera, as a studio hideaway's flashing voice level meters dance around, in synch with sex. A match ultimately made in digital heaven.
01/31/09
They pull off the blend of wide-eyed earnestness and sarcasm, but it’s unlikely teens or adults will relate to the 2D characters.
01/30/09
The music’s great, if predictable, and the talented young cast give it their all. We just wish that Cera would try something new.
01/30/09
Top CriticNick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist takes everything you loved in three decades of teenage romance and twists it into something unrecognisably desperate and exploitative.
01/30/09
Could have been Ferris Bueller's Night Out but it's not even close.
01/30/09
This music-powered hipster romance is as simple and undemanding as a three-chord pop song. It’s as corny as rhyming “moon” with “June”.
01/30/09
Top CriticSo-so comedy.
01/30/09
Top CriticWe allow the movie its fantasy of first love, if not its pretence of indie credibility.
