Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

[cyrano]

I know what you're all thinking, but this movie actually has nothing to do with The Thin Man. But don't be disappointed. It's still a perfectly serviceable 'two strangers meet discover they're perfect for each other and dump their current loser SOs' kind of film.
In a startling departure from type, Michael Cera plays an earnest and good hearted but ineffectual nebbish. And as always I love how easy it is to find parking in New York when you have the power of Michael Bloomberg and NY♥FILM behind you.
I liked it, but I'm glad I didn't rush out to see it in the cinemas because I would have been disappointed. Three wags.

Oh yeah and the lack of the Thin Man connection did irritate me mildly, but I found out later than the names were chosen ironically because the characters in this movie are Straight Edge, while Nick and Nora Charles, um, drink a great deal.

Okay, that does make me a little happier, actually. (:
