Review: “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”
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 po

Ready to rock? ET’s on the red carpet for the premiere of ‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist,’ and we’re with the musical dramedy’s star, Michael Cera! In the film, which hits big screens this Friday, the always funny Cera (’Superbad,’ ‘Juno’) plays a music-man who tries to one-up his ex by impulsively asking Norah (Kat Dennings, ‘The House Bunny’) to be his five-minute girlfriend — and so begins a hilarious and wildly unp

Why I Already Irrationally Hate Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist [Rants]
So that movie Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist is out today, and look! It's getting very good and pretty good reviews! Well that's good for little Michael Cera and Kat Dennings, the fawn-faced stars of the emo-queercore-fake New York City romp film about two Stars-crossed lovers who enjoy a wild night on the LES in pursuit of good music, good lovin', and a drunk girl. Yeah. It's nice. I haven't seen it yet, but I already fucking hate it. Why do I hate it? How could I possibly hate a movie that featu

Michael Cera: when geeks get the girl (Reuters)
Reuters - In a little more than a year, Michael Cera has built a movie career and loyal fan base playing geeky high school heroes -- zits and all -- who somehow get the girls. So it must feel good, being a sexy leading man in Hollywood -- especially when you're really kind of geeky.

Review: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
(Note: We're re-posting this review from the Toronto International Film Festival to coincide with the film's theatrical release this weekend) By: James Rocchi Starring Michael Cera and Kat Dennings, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is a light, slight, fleet-footed teen comedy of romance and indie rock; there are logic holes in it, and lulls, and moments that seem devoid of sense, to be sure, but there are also moments in where Cera or Dennings will smile and your momentary doubts and disagreements are w

The Music of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Perhaps I'm stating the obvious, but the best soundtracks always take on the character of the movie they accompany, and vice versa, and that's certainly the case with Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. The film, which follows the bridge-and-tunnel protagonists Nick (Michael Cera) and Norah (Kat Dennings) on a night of hijinks through the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan, is packed full of blink-and-you-miss-it hipster cameos from current faves Andy Samberg, Seth Myers, John Cho and Kevin Corrigan.

Are Nick & Norah Fans Really Flocking to Veselka?
Every NYC movie/tv show can create a new pop culture landmark and tourist destination. Serious Eats points out that When Harry Met Sally had Katz's and Sex and the City had Magnolia, and now Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist has staked a claim on Veselka. Owner Tom Birchard told SE that they were "slammed all weekend" with folks allegedly wanting to recreate the scene where Michael Cera and Kat Dennings enjoy some pierogies at the 24-hour eatery (the address is even given in the dialogue). No word on if Arle

An Arbitrary Guide To This Weekend’s New Releases
If you’ve found yourself skimming the movie listings these past few weeks to no avail, well, get ready, because there’s a whole lot of new blood coming in. This weekend sees 7, that’s right, 7 wide releases, which is sure to result in a major shakeup in the weekend Top Ten and give holdovers just hanging in there on the bottom 5 some serious reason to be worried. Depressingly, Beverly Hills Chihuahua is likely to snag the #1 spot - because if there’s one thing we’ve learned it’s that idiots (an

New York. Music. Stories.
1. Have you seen Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist yet? I love this movie so hard. Anyone who likes music and spotting New York City landmarks will enjoy this film. Oh and Michael Cera and Kat Dennings are great great, as are blond guy from Spring Awakening, and Ari Graynor who plays the most convincing drunk girl I’ve seen in a long time. Oh and some cameos from Devendra Banhart, Bishop Allen, Project Jenny Project Jan, etc etc. Whoever did the location scouting on this movie got it RIGHT. B

Michael & Kat's Finite Playlists
Given how much indie appropriating and Vampire Weekending Nick & Norah's has indulged, taking a spin through the iPods of the film's principals seems like a fine thing to do. So, nice work iTunes (and good luck on Thursday!). Are the real Nick and Norah really fans of Bishop Allen, or is that just ACTING? Neither Michael Cera nor Kat Dennings had a hand in crafting the OST (Salon tells us that was the work of director Peter Sollett and editor Myron Kerstein), but a pass through their playlists says they wou

Michael Cera: Hollywood's hottest awkward teen
One thing the modest, soft-spoken Cera does not pine for is celebrity, but he's got it anyway. As Hollywood's favorite awkward teen, Cera has just turned 20 with an enviable list of hits and critical favorites behind him. www.cnn.com   

Is Michael Cera the New Breed of Heartthrob?
You know him as the awkward teen in Juno, as the awkward teen in Superbad, and as — what else? — the awkward teen on Arrested Development. But Michael Cera’s developed one heck of a fanbase on both sides of the gender spectrum, and is now preparing to make his leading-man debut in the much-buzzed-about Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, opposite hottie Kat Dennings. The film hits theaters on Friday. He’s not classically attractive. He’s too thin; he’s not muscular. His hairstyle is child

Michael Cera and Kat Dennings Are Infinitely Cute
Michael Cera and Kat Dennings, who play the title characters in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, posed together last night for the red carpet premiere of their movie. They looked sweet giggling for the cameras with their director and a few costars, and apparently these two aren't afraid to poke fun at each other now and then. We're excited to see Michael step it up and take on a romantic comedy, and after reading Buzz's review, we have a feeling many of you will want to see it this weekend, too.

Michael Cera's Performance Envokes Mushy Fruit
Sorry, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist: as engagingly funny/sweet as you might have been as a book, trying to watch Michael Cera carry off a romantic lead role (seriously, he fingerbangs Kat Dennings for 20 seconds in this film) with his weirdly vulnerable babyface that is unable to grow any sort of facial hair is highly, highly disconcerting. And apparently cynical 20-somethings are over George Michael's awkward cuteness as much as I am. Cera himself admits that while filming Nick and Norah
