I remember reading Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan a few years ago and loving it. I knew they were making a movie and I just saw the casting.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0981227/

Michael Cera (Arrested Development, Juno, Superbad) and Kat Dennings (Charlie Bartlett) are going to be the main characters.

Has anyone read the book? I love Michael Cera, but I can't imagine him as Nick. I can't really see Kat Dennings as Norah, either. Oh well... I just hope it'll turn out good.

Ahh! I've read the book; it's one of my favorites. I can't imagine Michael Cera or Kat Dennings as the characters they've been cast as either, but I'd still see the movie just because the book is good.

and once again...

I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!

I wasn't aware there was a book or a movie until my friend showed me. But I'm interested in seeing this. It looks like one of those romantic comedies I might enjoy. :D

I was supposed to have seen this already

There was a free prescreening at my school's theater, but they gave out tickets to too many people and we didn't get in despite showing up more than half an hour early. I guess it wasn't too spectacular, though, as none of the people I know who did get in said anything about how good it was, even when I asked.

I didnt know it was a book before. I would love to go see the movie though. It looks really good.

i read the book and i'm looking forward to seeing the movie, although i have to agree that neither Cera or Dennings fit the parts of Nick & Norah. still i really want to see this, they're both good actors.

This is usually the case with free screenings -_-
it happened to me with The Bank Job, but ... I didn't really like that movie anyways.

I've never read the book but i still really want to see this. It looks adorable.

From the previews, it looks like it'll be pretty good. I'm going to have to find time to go see this.

I want to see it because I have a small celeb crush on Michael Cera. lol.

lol me too!

i loved it! this movie was so much better than i expected. Michael Cera is such a cutie & Kat Dennings is awesome. i read the book and expected this movie to not be as great... but definitely surprised me. definitely recommend it. if you liked Juno you'll love this.

I actually really liked this movie.
Makes me fall in love with New York even more.

i reallyt thought the movie was cute :]

fell in love with michael cera <33

His smile is so awkward,ahaha.
But it's a really cute/hilarious movie (:
I love the guys that were chosen to be gay,lulz.

Didn't know it was based on a book. I think I might go read the book.. I want to go see this movie, has anyone seen it? was it any good?

You should! It's good. :D

My boyfriend and I are going to see this for our anniversary this weekend.
I haven't read the book but since I found out it is a book I added it to my list to read =)

I saw this yesterday. All I have to say is that I hope the book is much better. The movie didn't do too much for me.

I just saw it today. It was a really cute movie.
Not bad, but not that amazing either.

Michael Cera is so cute

The gum thing was gross, though.

I've heard a lot of good things about this movie and I am determined to see it by this week!

I saw it with Kathleen and Joe

So for those who read the book and saw the movie, which is better the book or movie?

It was an okay movie, although a better word to describe it would be "mediocre". It definitely didn't live up to its full potential or hype. I thought I'd really like it: I like movies about high school kids, I like sappy romance plots, and I love music. But the movie kind of fell flat. The plot was pretty stereotypical and predictable -- which is fine, as long as the movie has a little something else, like a lot of wit and unique characters. But the characters were pretty flat, too, and the script wasn't nearly as witty as I'd expected. There were a few good jokes, but overall it was kind of bland and predictable. And the music was really tangential to the plot; I feel like the script was written by someone who thought, "I like sappy romance and I like music, so how can I squash these things together?" I expected the music to be much more important, but aside from being at a few shows, music was hardly discussed at all, or even mentioned.

And there were a few parts that were kind of...well, stupid. Like, why were all of Nick's friends gay? That didn't play into the plot at all. Their sexuality really didn't matter one bit. And the subplot with Norah's friend was humorous at times, but also pretty stereotypical and not really necessary.

There were a few good one-liners and a few gems of wisdom interspersed throughout the film, but otherwise, the writing was pretty flat.

I dunno, somehow I still kind of liked it, but it was pretty mediocre in my opinion. I haven't read the book (yet), but I get the sense that the book was a lot better, but didn't translate into a 90-minute film that well.

^ Idk, I haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I've read on IMDB, it's more of a Superbad humor, which is nothing like the book at ALL.

Yes, Nick's friends are all gay and then there's the bit with Norah's bff in the beginning, but it's all aimed at getting the two of them together in the first place to go onto this "exploration" of New York, music, etc.

The book is pretty much centered around music. I downloaded most of the songs mentioned after reading it and have to thank this book for introducing me to Bella & Sebastian. The thing I loved about the book was because it was so spontaneous, I felt like I was going on an adventure in NYC.

Besides Norah being sometimes overbearingly pretentious (it was co-written between Rachel Cohn and David Levithlan[sp]; Cohn wrote Norah's POV and Levithlan wrote Nick's), the book was one of my favorite summer reads in high school.

I'm not sure if I want to see the movies in theaters or just wait until there's a copy on the internet, but if you've only seen the movie and haven't read the book, definitely read the book!

Just saw it earlier tonight and it was so cute! I'm in love with this movie. Michael Cera was adorable.

Ahhh the book was awesome...I only read the book 'cause I thought the movie preview is good :3
I can't wait to seee it :)

I never read the book, but I do plan to, but I just came home from the movie.
I thought it was pretty cute. Not as predictable as the usual 'teen love' stories...I don't know, but hey I enjoyed this movie. Cute, funny, and hilarious awkward moments.

I just watched it tonight too!! I really loved it... it was nothing I expected. It's just so different from the stuff that's out there right now - it was so honest and, like you said, hilariously awkward. And disturbing at some parts

The gum! The horrid gum! I was so disgusted when she pulled it out of the toilet. I died a little inside.

Every single time the gum reappeared onscreen, you could hear the theatre go AWWW UGHHH GAWWWD NOOOO AHHHHHH UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The gum was discusting.. Everyone was yelling "No! Don't do it!"

I loved the movie. I am seeing it for a second time tonight. I liked how it was just their one awesome night in NYC. It shows how one moment can change everything. Kinda reminded me of the Breakfast Club because the people would never have been friends in real life, but because of that one awkward moment, they became friends.

I was a bit annoyed we didn't get to listen to Where's Fluffy too!!

Any movie with Michael Cera, is a must see. No homo.

I love Michael Cera and all, but why does he keep getting the same old roles as an awkward adolescent (aka playing himself)? I mean, ever since he was a kid in those Canadian shows... and then Arrested Development, and now movies like Superbad, Juno, and Nick and Norah..........

It'd be nice to see him do something different. Not that I can really imagine it...

lol i can't see him being anything but awkward. still adorable though

Apparently his role in Youth in Revolt is pretty different. I never got around to reading it so I can't say how, but it's supposed to be a good opportunity for him to break out of the typecasting or whatever.

Sweet, sounds interesting enough!!

It was cute, I guess. I was disappointed, though.

Over-hyped for you?

Um, not really. The book was one of my favorite books in high school and I had high expectations for the movie.

I thought it was so adorable. I'd go see it again. =)
