Nick & Nora Is Infinitely Playable
I saw this today on DVD after not being sure if I should bother to see it in theaters, and I gotta say that I liked it.The story is about these two high school seniors that don't know eachother but meet up one night by chance. Then story elements from Nora's drunk friend and Nick's prying bandmates to a creepy older guy who's into Nora and Nick's interfering ex-girlfriend end up getting Nick and Nora closer together as the night in New York progresses and everyone searches for a secret performance being given by everyone's favorite band, 'Where's Fluffy?'.The real reason to watch this movie is for the relationship between Nick & Nora. I enjoyed the banter between them and the fact that they seemed to have realistic chemistry. For that matter all the character's had very realistic and relatable chemistries with humorous banter that was always derived from character. It was also nice to see two teens that actually had some sense of moral and head's on their shoulder's. These character's are very down to earth rather than the over dramatic and foolish character's we are used to seeing teens portrayed as lately.This movie does a great job of not pandering to one audience or another and seems more like it is just showing us the events that took place between these particular people on this particular night, allowing everyone to find humor where they want to see it. To me this movie tread the line of reality and heightened reality better than most seeming very grounded and realistic. I enjoyed this movie letting you laugh when you wanted to, and taking time to let scenes and dialogue play out without ever letting it play out too long or be boring or pointless. Also instead of jumping all over the place plotwise like certain other movies in this genre do this one actually had a coherent overall story and every plot turn made sense while it moved along at a brisk pace. Like most movies you can see where this one is going but it's the journey not the destination.I really enjoyed this movie and hope others wondering about it will take a chance on it. The character dialogue is very well written, especially the scenes between Nick & Nora, the ones at the recording studio and when they meet back up in the third act and walk through the city being among my favorite. The music is aimed, like so many other movies lately, at the Indie/College Coffee Shop crowd but seems more appropriately placed here. The character's are cast perfectly and the wonderfully chosen location of New York City at night feels like a character on it's own and looks amazing. If you've been wondering about this movie give it a shot. Just My Opinion. Thanks For Your Time.The DVD has two commentaries. One by Michael Cera, Kat Dennings, Ari Graynor, and the film Director. Another by the people who wrote the book this film is based on, along with the movie scriptwriter and again the Director. There are also Outtakes, Deleted Scenes, A 'Nick & Nora Puppet Show' by Kat Dennings, A Playful Interview of Dennings and Cera, a short Behind The Scenes Video Diary from Ari Graynor and a Music Video for "Middle Managament" by Bishop Allen."The World Has Been Broken Up Into Pieces And It's Our Job To Put It Back Together Again." "Maybe We Are The Pieces."

A superb film in blu ray glory
NICK AND NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST is a treat for film lovers of all ages. It has gotten mixed reviews from the critics and I really don't understand it. I loved this film. It is a warm, tender, very funny and endearing story of one night in the life of a group of teenagers. Led by Michael Cera and Kat Dennings this superb cast does the awesome task of making these teen characters believable, pertinent to the current times and relatable to people of all ages. I am a 46 year old man and related as if I was one of them.The basic beginning plot has Michael Cera still pining over his old girlfriend who dumped him. He keeps making her burned cds which she tosses and come into the hands of Norah aka Kat Dennings. Thus Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Nick is in a band with his best friends and all the guys are again believable and quite funny. Norah's best friend is the greatest comedy lift. The film is a teen film in the age of SUPERBAD and other such films. It even has Michael Cera who is in SUPERBAD as well as JUNO. Here his witty style of acting is intact but his character is also very different from his other films. He seems to reach a deeper level of vulnerability. Bottom line, this one night journey is one you will be very happy you took. This film is a love story, a friendship story and a general feel good film for the ages. You will care about these people and want to revisit them again. This film is a definite one to own.And the blu ray version takes full advantage of all blu ray has to offer. I had just seen it in HD on cable and then purchased it in bluy ray. I watched it soon after and the oomph both the video and audio got from the transfer was exsquisite. The 1080p video transfer is crisp, colors are vibrant and the night scenes are striking. The true hd 5.1 audio provides the best accompanying soundtrack. Dialogue is strong and music is well utilized. The full presentation of this film in blu ray is of the highest standard.Highly recommend. Put this film in, sit back and be prepared to be truly entertained as you experience a touching slice of life.

Fun, quirky and rockin'
Are you in need of cheering up? Do you like romantic comedies with a twist? Are you into slightly strange music, that's a bit different and underground? It's simple...buy this film!Michael Cera (Juno, Scott Pilgrim Vs the World etc) and Kat Dennings (40 year old virgin) star in this film about a night out in New York. Cera is a dorky guy who is in a band with two much gayer guys and a drum machine...he has recently split with his girlfriend and is a little bit obsessed by her still. Enter Kat Dennings' character, who is a little excluded by people, except for her blonde friend who is always drunk. For the rest, you will have to watch it. It's a funny, quirky and different take on the rom-com, that pretty much revolves around a group of high school kids trying to find where a band called "Where's Fluffy?" are playing. Taking place between the end of school and sunrise the next morning.As usual with films featuring Mr. Cera, the soundtrack is brilliant...sticking to underground and alternative bands from North America and the UK. Cera is his usual character; edgy, smart and charming with a very dry wit and a bright yellow Yugo. Dennings is in a much larger role than she is used to but pulls it off as the grunge/goth/indie girl overshadowed by her father.Trust me, it is impossible not to enjoy this film as you go from laugh out loud moments (including a gay bar featuring a cross dressing jesus) to disgust (see bus station toilet fishing for chewing gum). All round fun, but not for all the family.

Wow, what a great film.
Ok,So I had never heard of it before let alone seen it. But Amazon kept recommending it to me so i bought it. It's been sat on my desk for months and just found the time to watch it and WOW, amazing, totally loved the relationship and the last 30mins of the film for me was the best part.I wont give anything away. But trust me, £3 for this is amazing, this is better than some of the £12 DVD's I buy.

A movie I had been meaning to see for a while and actually enjoyed far more than I thought I would
Pleasantly surprised by this one. A movie I had been meaning to see for a while and actually enjoyed far more than I thought I would. With some unexpected cast members (on my part anyway) and a very sweet storyline and realistic characters this movie will be sure to put a smile on your face :)

Boring and empy
Mediocre teen film with also a certain presumptuous approach. That of who wants you to think it is not another teen movie. While it is. I think it's not like what Reality Bites meant for its generation. This is just a boring and empty film

A mighty romantic film
Seeing the trailer for this feelgood film enchanted me to buy and watch. I had difficulty trying to rent from Netflicks and Amazon Prime. So I bought this. I like the exceptional acting of Kat Dennings especially in 2 Broke Girls and Marvel's Movie Thor.
