We get it, it's an indie movie...

Rating: 5/10 (2 March 2010)

A teenage rom-com INDIE movie, this movie fits this definition a little bit too much for my own taste. The Michael Cera character, the guy listens to the most obscure band possible, drives the crappiest and most unknown car ever, has the weirdest of the hobbies (creating dozens and dozens of mix cds) all of his friends are gay... Basically he's just some fantasy character. The Norah character get a lot less developed and she is only used as the quirky insecure girl that will open Michael Cera eyes and make him face reality...
I wish the writer/director would have tone down on the extreme indieness, as it puts too much weight on the story. So yes expect a good dose of elitist east coast, alternative, intellectual, left-wing material... (just quoting an ep from 30 Rock). The rom-com part was nicely done but gets definitely out shined, too bad.
