8/10
A real diamond in the rough
12 February 2011
I have to admit, this movie surprised me a little bit. After renting it & just finishing up watching it, I found myself thinking that it was a pretty decent movie, especially since there's aren't really any deep, moving conflicts or overly dramatic issues. The idea of two people riding around New York City to track down a band doesn't seem like the ideal background for a movie but somehow the performances of the cast made it work. The on screen chemistry between Michael Cera & Kat Dennings is spot & I found myself slowly rooting for them the farther on the movie went. I was really surprised with the acting of Kat Dennings & I think her acting made the movie as good as it was. In her role as Norah, she's intelligent, witty, down to earth, and very easy to talk to all at the same time as being easy on the eyes although you have to warm up to her character a little bit during the first few minutes of the movie. Although the plot starts out a little like a college frat party, it really takes off with the interactions between Nick & Norah. The situations that all the characters put themselves in are not only amusing but the plot is also interesting enough to keep you watching. Keep an eye out for this one because you won't be disappointed after you watch it. My opinion, it's just a good fun movie.
