Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Review

If you are looking for a romantic comedy that involves a wild chase through New York City for a band called “Where’s Fluffy?,” then Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is what you might be searching for. The movie opens with Nick O’Leary, played by Michael Cera of Juno. Nick is heartbroken after the break up with is ex-girlfriend, Tris. Nick and his two friends, Thom and Dev, leave to go play at a club. Their band name changes throughout the movie, and they can never seem to decide on a good name. Nick meets Norah Silverberg, played by Kat Dennings, at this club while they are playing. Norah goes to the same school as Tris, and also has a friend named Caroline, whose drunken adventures are a main part of the story. Tris is tired of Nick sending her endless amounts of mix CD’s, and Norah, coincidentally, loves the CD’s, and takes them out of the trash after Tris throws them away.
Nick’s band gets done playing and Norah asks Nick to, “be her boyfriend for five minutes,” so she can prove to Tris that she has a boyfriend. Unbeknownst to Norah, Tris and Nick had just broken up recently. Caroline, who had previously promised Norah she wouldn’t drink, gets drunk. Thom and Dev meet Lethario, who doesn’t reveal his name until the end of the movie. Norah wants to get drunken Caroline home, and Thom, Dev and Lethario offer to take her home in their van. Nick and Norah set off to find the band “Where’s Fluffy?” after Thom, Dev, and Lethario leave with Caroline. Caroline is passed out in the back of the van. Thom, Dev and Lethario decide to stop for something to eat, leaving Caroline in the van. She wakes up while they are gone, and leaves the van screaming, due to having no idea where she is. She walks on throughout New York City, where she ends up in a train station, and a gay cabaret, where, during a short phone call with Norah, Caroline “found Jesus.” She also mentions an “altar boy with no pants on.”
They finally end up finding the band “Where’s Fluffy?” on a roof top around 4 a.m. after searching all night. The story ends happily with Nick and Norah going down an escalator, kissing. I found the acting was overall good, but some of them could have been better. I thought it was hilarious. I found Caroline the best character in the story; her gum that she is chewing in the beginning seriously goes from person to person. It starts with Caroline, who hands it to Norah, who chews it, and Nick gets it last after making out with Norah.
I overall liked this movie, okay not liked. I loved this movie. I thought it was absolutely hilarious and I would definitely put this in my list of favorite movies.
