NICK AND NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST ***

Directed by Peter Sollett this comedy/romance stars: Michael Cera, Kat Dennings, Ari Graynor, and Alexis Dziena. Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material including teen drinking, sexuality, language and crude behavior, the film is one hour and thirty minutes long.

A comedy about two people (Cera and Dennings) thrust together for one hilarious, sleepless night of adventure in a world of mix tapes, late-night living, and, live, loud music, which ends up becoming the first date in a romance that could change both their lives. During the evening they search for a very inebriated friend (Graynor) and try and elude a former girlfriend who wants to get back together (Dziena).

This is not the type of film I usually watch but the previews made it appear it might have possibilities (usually a mistake). Imagine my surprise when I found myself actually enjoying this, even though I don't care for rock music and teen romances are not usually high on my list. The reason for my enjoyment is the likeability of the cast. Cera and Dennings are very appealing and have good on screen chemistry, Graynor is very funny and Dziena is very attractive. There is a constant playlist of music in the background but it never really got in the way of the story, younger viewers will probably actually like it. This will be fine on DVD but if you're in the mood for a romantic comedy this fits the bill nicely.
