Critic Reviews

  • Tom Huddlestone, Time Out

    Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist takes everything you loved in three decades of teenage romance and twists it into something unrecognisably desperate and exploitative.

  • Ben Lyons, At the Movies

    I would love the film more if the film didn't love itself so much.

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    What makes the film work in spite of itself is [director] Sollett's sympathy for his characters and the teamwork between Cera and Dennings, whose winsome sultriness seems entirely unaffected.

  • Dana Stevens, Slate

    Like Before Sunrise or the lovely karaoke-bar sequence at the center of Lost in Translation, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist captures the excitement of exploring a city with someone you barely know and really, really like.

  • Ted Fry, Seattle Times

    There's not much reality or intellect to be found.

    Strange... I've seen this movie a couple of times at least, and never rated. It is a little weird, but very watchable.

  • Cassie H


    Very charming movie. Kat Dennings is beautiful as always and Michael Cera again continues to show his funny side. Just an adorable movie! Love it! :)

  • Drake T


    A modern fairytale romance told in the far away land of the NewYork indie music scene. It never breaks new ground in any field of film making even for its genre but all in all the love story between these two is just a thing of beauty and that's largely in part to its careful… More

    You know something went wrong when you root for the villain, in this case the beautifully evil ex-girlfriend. Michael Cera's performance is the only reason anyone should watch this unfunny teen dramedy. Things start to add up, and then you are very disappointed. Oh well.… More
