Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Nick is Michael Cera (Juno), the typecast insecure nerdy guy who girls kinda like. Norah is Kat Dennings (40 Year Old Virgin), the somewhat insecure girl who knows what she likes, knows who she's not, and is quite glad about it. Together, they have Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.

Norah attends a hoity toity rich girls' school, along with Alexis Dziena (Broken Flowers), but doesn't quite fit in. She and some girls meet at a local music venue that specializes in gay bands. In an act of desperation, Norah runs up to Nick (the non-gay member of the band) and asks him to kiss her and pretend he's her girlfriend.

Nick actually sort of likes Norah and his friends decide that she's the girl for him. Problem is that Norah's friend Caroline needs to get home because she's super sloppy drunk. The gay guys say they will take her home and Norah agrees. Now the shenanigans begin.

The movie plays a lot of good music, hence the infinite playlist. Nick and Norah fall in and out of, well, we won't call it love, but maybe a budding interest in each other.

The movie is fast movie, funny, and lovable. I found myself cheering for both of them. The movie is rated PG-13 for teen drinking, sexuality, language, crude behavior, and gayness and is just over an hour and a half long. I gave this movie 4 stars.
