Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is a total crash and burn if you were actually looking for a good movie. If you just want to see Michael Cera do his one-note schtick or Kat Dennings look cute then Nick and Nora may be your brew. While the demographic for this film probably wouldn't care, Nick and Nora were the names of William Powell and Myrna Loy in the Thin Man series of movies based on characters created by Dashiell Hammett.
Nick (Cera) is the only straight guy in his high school band The Jerk Offs. He meets cute with Nora (Dennings) during a gig in New York City. There's lot's of teen drinking so evidently kids have no problem not getting carded in Gotham. Nick still hasn't gotten over his previous g.f. a vamp (Alexis Dziena whose most notable role was the nude daughter of Sharon Stone in Broken Flowers) who delights in wrapping him around her finger. Before the evening wraps you know that Nick will see how fresh and unspoiled Nora is and they will hook up, for steady or for keeps.
The best thing about Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist are the use of actual New York City locales, like hip small clubs that actual musicians would recognize and eventually the Electric Ladyland Recording Studios. That and gay friendly characters are the up side. The flip side of the cool settings is the fact that N&N wants to be Superbad with a PG-13 rating. We hear Cera utter "fuck" only once in the film (in the first five minutes) and even though the teens are on a drinking binge, with the exception of the friend of the friend, nobody really seems to get drunk. There's a repeated gag involving chewing gum that goes from a toilet out of Trainspotting into everyone else's mouth. The cool soundtrack works better as a CD than as part of this mixed concoction.
