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”
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
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 at 'Nick and Norah's' Red Carpet Premiere!
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 unpredictable night in the Big Apple they'll never forget!

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
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
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.

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

Michael Cera walks into a room at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto, shrugs off his red knapsack, and shyly asks if anyone minds if he makes himself a cup of java.
