Sweet and fun

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2019)

This movie is a sweet New York romance. It is an adventure akin to Almost Famous and works wonderfully as an hour and a half long good time. Michael Cera is very comfortable playing the socially awkward guy like in Scott Pilgrim so this is pretty standard for him. The supporting cast is also phenomenal and extremely funny at times. I love how there is a semblance of a direction for our characters adventure but as the night goes on, it totally derails and develops into more of a mental journey. Nick and Norah's relationship is dynamic; it has highs and lows, while slowly progressing towards our final result. Finally the soundtrack is wonderful, as expected entirely from a movie that has a focus on music and playlists. It truly is a great movie for what it tries to be, a short and sweet romance between two music loving outcasts out with friends looking for a secret concert amidst the New York nightlife.
