Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)

I think that Michael Cera is such a naturally comical actor and he asserted that in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Unfortunately, that's about the only thing I enjoyed in this film. And maybe some of the music. I was somehow led to believe that there would be some substance, depth, and charming quality to this film, but all I found was forced humor, over acting, and a heaping pile of ridiculous jokes targeting the easily amused and recreational film goers. Each scene tries to outwit the next with the same desperate joke one after another. Dim-witted, incompetent, or absent-minded characters, band mates and Tris, or the humor that comes along with this are not appealing to me in the least bit. Regrettably, this film is getting placed near the other worthless attempts at a comedy mixed with a sweet and magical meeting.

4/10 - steven

the gum was the worst, although judging by the reaction of the audience it did its job.
