Disappointing and pointless

Rating: 2/10 (1 September 2010)

I found Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist to be somewhat boring and very lame. The movie was very pointless and the writers tried to make it like real life. That was the problem. It had no plot. It was just about Nick (Michael Cera) who meets a girl at a concert- Norah, they don't know each other but they're friends and friends with one another (they have connections to others). The intro to each character was real lame and stupid. All the characters in this were annoying and I was hard to actually care what was going to happen. I didn't care for the character's at all.
The problem is mainly to do with the fact that the characters just aren't all that interesting and are hard to sympathise with; both Nick and Norah, and also their friends, are essentially anxious and/or lazy teens. Their worries are not really all that sincere and I soon lost interest in them. Norah's drunken friend - the obvious comic-relief figure - is also just not all that amusing. Perhaps if I were a few years younger and still felt like a breakup or a friend being gay were a major dramatic event worthy of international media coverage, then I would feel differently. But I think that to anyone over the age of 17, these characters and their misadventures would seem bland.
The film, I should mention, takes place over the course of a night, and ends at around 5 or 6 in the morning. I became so bored, however, that I kept on posing myself the question: wouldn't all these people just want to go to bed by this point? In the first hour the basic whole plot was just them going around partying, going to bars/restaurants, and to find their drunk friend. The rest of the film from the time they find they bimbo was them trying to find a band. It got real boring from the last 30 mins
