For those who have spent an unforgettable night with a group of friends only to find yourself reflecting on the very next day, comes Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. The film is a romantic comedy about a set of high school students who spend a night hooking up and partying against the backdrop of New York’s indie rock scene.

Heading the cast is Michael Cera, fresh off of last year’s Juno, and Kat Dennings, recognizable from Charlie Bartlett and The 40-Year-Old Virgin in her first leading role. The two play title characters Nick and Norah, lovers of music who meet on a night out and set out on a musically-influenced odyssey. The chemistry between the actors strikes a quirky chord that will leave audiences smiling.

Anyone can watch this movie and either cherish it or know someone who would. Cera and Dennings anchor the film with their performances, but the supporting cast also adds a level of entertainment.

Aaron Yoo and Rafi Gavron play Nick’s band mates and friends who encourage his relationship with Norah to help him get over his recent breakup. They chaperone Norah’s friend Caroline (Ari Graynor), who has, once again, had too much to drink so that Norah can stay with him.

Director Peter Sollett captures youth culture as well as he did in 2002’s Raising Victor Vargas. The screenplay, written by Lorene Scafaria and based on the novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, has essentially no plot other than a series of awkward situations. There are no major conflicts or complications here but, rather, moments meant to show us the attraction between the two characters.

Considering this is a film about one night in the life of a set of carefree teenagers, this simple structure works. Though, the lack of serious obstacles makes its plot seem more in line with those of dull romantic comedies starring Kate Hudson or Matthew McConaughey, its teen cast of characters and refreshing performances take Nick and Norah’s somewhat tired concept to new heights.

Indie music fans will enjoy recognizing their favorite bands in the film’s soundtrack, while others might find the characters’ interactions entertaining and relatable. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a lot of fun, and you cannot help but turn to the friend nearest you, listen to music and laugh your head off.
