Nick makes 'closure' CD soundtracks (up to Vol.
Michael Cera reprises a role he does best (a good-natured dork) as high school student Nick O'Leary, the only straight guy in the mostly gay-punk group The Jerk Offs. With a wonderfully witty script along for the ride, it's apparent that this is much more than your average teenage comedy. We know from the beginning that it is the destiny of Nick and Norah to get together, yet when they do it is nothing short of soulful. They argue, fight, flirt, and, yes, fall in love what makes the film great is how mature and honest a relationship they create. These two meet through a random encounter and together set out to try and find the secret show of the aptly titled rock band Where's Fluffy? They cruise the town like grown adults, yet underneath both are incredibly naive. Kat Dennings plays Norah, a rocking rich chick who is just as unattracted to teenage pettiness as the rest of us are. Michael Cera, that king of adorable dorkiness, stars as Nick, the sole straight member of a queer-rock band. It tries to achieve that so rare of an achievement it tries to make a genuine and honest teen comedy. It's all-too-easy to groan at the thought of sitting down to a high school film these days, yet 'Nick & Norah' attempts to make you rethink that. In this age of super-broad comedies and sexed-up teen films, there comes Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.
