Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist With Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, Michael Cera's finally stepping into the starring role in a romantic comedy. And it looks to be pretty awesome. Even though Cera's sort of today's heartthrob to a million teenage girls, he's still totally believable in the goofy, self-deprecating, dumped guy role (it's what he excels at, actually). This is no exception. He plays Nick (duh), a guy whose girlfriend dumped him "on [his] b-day," and therefore doesn't really feel like playing a gig with his band. Apparently he gets talked into it, though, and then a lonely, outcast girl, Norah (Kat Dennings), kisses him to make it look like she's not alone. From there, sparks fly. They decide to let some random guys carry Norah's drunk friend home so they can hang out (kids: If your friend is this drunk, do NOT let someone else get her home; you make sure she gets there yourself; and if you see one of the guys carrying her run her head into a car door, definitely don't let them take her). And then their car becomes a cab (drunk people won't take no for an answer). Oh, and then the guys lose the drunk girl so it becomes a hunt for her. Jay Baruchel shows up as a jerky ex of Norah's. You just know Nick and Norah will end up a couple by the end, but this is the sort of funny, crazy ride that's more about the getting there than the end result.
