DVD review 3

There’s nothing better than romance, laughs and great music. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Play list express all three concepts very well. It combines love, with laughter and good music to top it all off.
Nick and Norah are brought to together from love of music and ex-love. They are forced into a journey to find Norah’s crazy drunk friend, Caroline and their favorite band, “Where’s Fluffy.” Along the journey Nick’s ex-girlfriend is growing jealous of his and Norah’s attraction to each other. She follows them almost the entire way trying to break them up and make her move on Nick. Meanwhile, Nick’s band members are on the search for Caroline. She some how escaped from the van and is now drunk, lost and confused.
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Play List has one of the best casts it could have. Nick (Michael Cera) has appeared in films like “Superbad,” and “Juno,” two very successful movies. He can be funny, serious, and romantic when needed. Nick (Michael Cera) is rare and is mending a broken heart and a indistinguishable ability to play the bass. Norah (Kat Dennings) is questioning pretty much all of her assumptions about the world. Though they have nothing in common except for their taste in music, their rare encounter leads to an all-night hunt to find a legendary band's secret show and ends up becoming the first date in a romance that could change both their lives.
After a long night of trying to find Norah’s drunken friend, their favorite band and falling in love with each other Nick and Norah have had the night of their lives. Nick now knows that his ex-girlfriend doesn’t matter anymore, that he’s fine without her. And Norah has realized that life doesn’t suck so badly and that she can stand up for herself.
I recommend this movie to anyone who loves comedies, romance, and a great soundtrack. Anyone in their teens or early twenties would enjoy this movie. Without a doubt, the movie is so sociable that you may wish for a little more conflict, higher emotional risk, riskier jokes, a touch of danger throughout the night. Just about everyone in “Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist” seems to be having a good time, and most of them seem like good kids (though Norah’s friend Caroline is probably headed for a period in rehab. Why resent them for having fun. This is great movie for almost anyone. It expresses joy and heartache, fun and not so fun.
