    Pretty cool movie with a nice soundtrack. Nice relax movie, watching awkward 18 year olds and wishing you were that old again at the end. Like I say, good soundtrack!

    Sweet and awkward and entertaining all rolled into one.

    Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is pretentious and conventional in every possible way, but it's also got a dumb charm that somehow manages to make it vaguely likable. Michael Cera plays his usual stale awkwardness more dramatically and Kat Dennings delivers her dialogue like a...( read more) female Seth Rogen. The soundtrack is decent at the cost of a mushroom cloud of hipster douchiness but Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist wasn't anywhere nearly as bad or as painful as I was expecting it to be. Don't get me wrong, I won't give it a second thought except when I think about how much less I like it every time I think about it but there are worse ways to spend an hour and a half.

    Mediocre, AT BEST!

    Okay to watch, but some parts annoyed me, especially with the ex's being around...when the ex bf came, she acted like she didn't know what to do...so fake.

    The best reasons to watch this film is Michael Cera and Kat Dennings. They both shine in the film. They have a great on screen chemistry. However, in my opinion, some of the other cast-members were miscast. Alexis Dziena was much better on Entourage than in this film. Some scenes...( read more) were funny, while other scenes were stupid. The film needed a rewrite. The film is only worth seeing cause of the performances of Cera and Dennings.

Critic Reviews

Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times

Tinny teens dragged through mirth-free misadventures one New York night. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

The movie around them may not have enough shape, contrast and texture. But at least these characters are always moving forward, even if the only sure thing they've got to look forward to is dawn. full review

October 3, 2008
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

An uneven but sweet-natured bop through the unstable ground of teenage lust and loneliness. full review

October 3, 2008
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

The film really is a homage to vintage Hollywood comedy. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

As thin as an iPod Nano, as full of adolescent self-display as a Facebook page, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist strives to capture what it's like to be young right now. full review

Bob Mondello, NPR

[A]lmost more remarkable than Nick, Norah or their playlist ... is the quirky, melting-pot world Sollett creates around them: vibrant like New York, youthful like the stars, awkward like the character... full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Not only is their playlist worth a listen, but Nick and Norah are surprisingly good company with whom to spend a long night in the city. full review

October 2, 2008
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

One advantage that Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist has over the typical teen romantic comedy is a terrific soundtrack that perfectly matches the fleeting loyalties of teenage love. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The script is Afterschool Special 101. full review

    kt dnnings and michael cera make a great couple. In fact, they just might be the next tom hanks and meg ryan.

    Ari Graynor made this pretty disappointing movie for me.

    Michael Cera is (suprise, suprise)the same character here as he is everywhere else, and Kat Dennings just isn't likeable.
