Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Trailer . IMDB	The scenes with just the title characters are pretty wonderful, as they slowly come to realize they like each other. The problem is the movie keeps tearing us away from our protagonists and focusing on exes or other friends who can't match Nick and Norah in the personality department. J.

A.O. Scott New York Times Imagining younger: The sort of date movie I would've liked when I was 16 or 17, if only because the beanpole-geek-so-uncool-he's-cool protagonist, played by the deceptively skillful Michael Cera, secures for himself a dream of a romantic partner, played by the equally disarming Kat Dennings.
