Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)

I had fun watching this movie. It may have gotten a little more credit than it deserved as a definition movie for this generation, but it was still a good movie. Not to mention, it has an awesome soundtrack.

Michael Cera plays Nick, an overemotional musician whose girlfriend just dumped him and he's having a hard time getting over her (12 mix-tapes hard time). Kat Dennings plays Norah, a rich girl who wants to find happiness without people realizing that she's rich. Done before? Yes. But this was the hipper, younger version of a story that you've seen before.

Both of the actors come out of their shell in this movie. Cera is used to playing the neurotic, pathetic type and he's found his nitch. This role was less neuortic and pathetic, but still had those elements. This is Dennings first real starring role, and she does a great job. The Apatow crew (Cera, Rogen, Hill, Segel, etc.) may have found an actress to keep up with them.
