Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) 8/10

Starring : Michael Cera, Kat Dennings, Aaron Yoo, Rafi Gavron, Ari Graynor, Alexis Dziena
Director : Peter Sollett
Running Time : 90 mins

Nick (Cera) has just broken up with his girlfriend Tris (Dziena), and has been desperately trying to win her back with mix tapes of his own making. When his ex-girlfriend throws them away, they are retrieved by Norah (Dennings) who finds herself falling for the musical tastes of Nick, despite having never met him. When the two do finally meet, Nick finds himself having to choose between Tris and Norah.

This is a fun filled movie which takes a different approach by having the girl be the one that the main focus is on without turning the whole show into a chick flick. Dennings and Cera make a nice pair and, by not having actors that are of a classical look or build, their effect on us as an audience is doubley effective. Fans of High Fidelity will no doubt find this movie intriguing, but anyone who likes romantic comedies should check this out.
