MPAA RATING: PG-13 for mature thematic material including teen drinking, sexuality, language and crude behavior
Starring Michael Cera, Kat Dennings, Ari Graynor, Jay Baruchel, Rafi Gavron, and Aaron Yoo
Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a comedy about two people thrust together for one hilarious, sleepless night of adventure in a world of mix tapes, late-night living, and live, loud music. Nick frequents New York's indie rock scene nursing a broken heart and a vague ability to play the bass. Norah is questioning pretty much all of her assumptions about the world. Though they have nothing in common except for their taste in music, their chance encounter leads to an all-night quest to find a legendary band's secret show and ends up becoming the first date in a romance that could change both their lives. (Sony Pictures)

A disclaimer: I loved Juno, and didn't expect to, in fact probably didn't want to. I had a bad feeling on this one but went along anyway, encouraged by my wife. This is one of the ten worst films I have ever seen. It literally feels like something made by old guys in an ad agency after a bunch of focus groups. Do not waste your money or your time. (PS My wife concurs).

The movie Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist was a very enjoyable movie to watch. Throughout the movie I felt very connected with the characters in the sense that it could be a day in my life. Although I do not go searching for a band, I felt that the characters connection to the audience was strong. I loved the connection between Nick and Norah and the way they met. I also enjoyed the fact that Norah has been taking the cds Nick was making his ex-girlfriend out of the trash and listening to them. This showed that music can somewhat find a connection between people. I also thought that the end of the movie was very important. During the movie Norah is dating this guy who uses her for the connection she has through her father. She does not want to tell Nick because she feels he will do the same thing and push her to get her dad to publish his songs. But when she finally tells him he doesn’t care at all, doesn’t even think to ask her to get him a meeting with her father. I found that sometimes you can’t hold onto the past and you just have to learn from your mistakes. Many people in today’s society feel judged, but this movie shows that only you can judge yourself and what others say about you should not affect you. I loved Norah’s best friend because she adds more character to Norah in the sense that she has grown up taking care of not only herself but others as well. I loved Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and would definitely see it two or three more times, and own it. I thought it was one of the better movies that have come into theaters in a long time. It was also the right amount of movie time, not to long yet not to short. Very enjoyable movie!

The movie was at all times painfully aware of its teenage audience and was constantly trying to impress them with that hip offbeat humor that only Juno was been able to capture.

Sheer garbage. I love Michael Cera... but this is a sad cliche programmed for 13-16 year olds with low self-esteem. Ironically, it's faux-awkward gimick is so blatant - it's unintentionally awkward. Completely self aware and poorly written.
Steven L gave it a4:
this movie is a six, but i downgraded it because i could have watched burn after reading or body of lies instead. remember jay from knocked up? apparently he's a badass in this movie. at a whopping 150 lbs., he is clearly the biggest guy in the movie. maybe not, but still. my name is whatever you need it to be? i don't subscribe to any label? this movie has been done 1000 times and 500 times better. the ride is predictable, all the funny parts are shown in the previews, and nothing is really that funny. skip it.

Stay away from this one unless you're under 18. If you're over 18 just buy the soundtrack. Also, what was up with that sex scene????? Could they wear any more clothes?
Michael Marcinkus gave it a10:
Everything a movie should be. It loses you in the moment and you feel like you are a part of the characters' lives for a night. Lessons are learned without being hit over the head with a hammer.
