A teen romance for the NYC indie rock crowd.

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2010)

Nick & Norah is a nice little date movie for indie kids. At times I think that it tried to hard for the "cool" vibe, but at Nick and Norah's age, didn't we all do the same?
Being from a small town and living in a small-ish college city, it's cool to see the nightlife and culture of NYC. It would be pretty awesome to be able to spend a night going from show to show with a sea of faceless people with similar musical tastes. I think I enjoyed that aspect of the movie more than the rather typical love story that was the the primary focus.
Michael and Kat were pretty perfect for their parts, but it was Ari Graynor who completely stole the show. Her character was absolutely hilarious. That girl seriously needs to be a bigger star, because she's got great comedic talent.
Nick and Norah won't blow you away, but it's guaranteed to appeal to a certain kind of viewer. It's charming, funny, and a breath of fresh air in an overcrowded genre.I recommend it whole-heartedly.
