Facts of interest:
Based on the novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan.
The plot: Nick (Cera) and Norah (Dennings) spend an incredible chaotic but eventually magical night in New York City.
Our thoughts: Peter Sollett’s “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” has enough rhythm to maintain the audience’s attention for 90 minutes, but the film definitely lacks the surprise factor we’ve come to appreciate in this new genre of teenage comedies. It’s a shame, really, because the movie holds plenty of unexploited potential.
In Peter Sollett's "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," Michael Cera and Kat Dennings team up and spend an incredible night together. But how incredible is it? Let's see what the Web's film critics think (I will post my review in the coming days):
• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "There really isn't much to the story of the film, but Dennings and Cera's compatibility is strong enough to overlook that."
• Katey Rich at Cinema Blend: "'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist,' based on the popular young adult novel of the same name, is a surprisingly timeless story given its hip trappings, and will enthrall teen viewers who imagine such a adventurous, music-fueled life for themselves."
Yahoo! Movies just released a new clip from Peter Sollett's upcoming dramedy "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," in which Michael Cera and Kat Dennings spend an unforgettable night together in the streets of New York City. As a treat, the clip comes with a quick introduction by Cera and Dennings.
The film is based on the novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. "Nick and Nora" will be heading your way Oct. 3, 2008. Enjoy the clip just above. By the way, early reviews are out already. Go here to read one of them.
