I have bought the DVD and watched this at least 25 times, since I first saw it on cable last fall. I found this to be a tremendous feel good movie. I also listen to the music quite often, and really liked "Last Words" by the Real Tuesday Weld and Ottoman by Vampire Weekend. There are some other songs that are good in the movie, and they fit the mood of the movie, with the music. I saw many episodes of "Two Broke Girls", and I have seen the "Thor" movies and used to wonder why Cat Dennings is famous. I now know why she is famous. She is adorable in this movie. Her smile absolutely rocks the screen. When you meet her character Norah Silverberg, you quickly see she is about loyalty and self sacrifice. Norah is far from the wise cracking woman Cat plays on Two Broke Girls. When you get to know Norah, it makes a person want her to come out on top, somehow. Nick is played by Michael Cera who attempts to add some comedy to the movie. Then there is Ari Gaynor playing Caroline. She represents a lot of the comedy in the movie and she delivers all the way through the movie. Some people reviewing this have said, Ari steals the show, but, there are some gross things that take place with her also. The movie also features Nick's gay friends Dev and Thom (Rafi Gavron and Arron Woo) who ironically show far more sense about girls and women than Nick does. Best of all is where the movie goes with Tris who is played very well by Alexis Dziena. I don't often comment on acting, but Alexis can express more with the look on her face than most actresses can. There is also a piece of gum in the movie, that makes it through from early in the movie to the end. All and All This movie is a Feel Good Experience.

Michael Cera's career continues to regress, helped along by poor movie choices, like this one. He was great in Arrested Development and Juno, both of which were excellent series/movies. Everything else has been mediocre, and this is the worst of the lot.Started off well enough, and I was imagining a John Hughes-like script unfolding. Unfortunately, it just drifted after a point, and resorted to gross-out and otherwise immature comedy. The romantic side seemed contrived, and most of the time didn't make sense.Ultimately, meaningless and boring. Avoid.

A lonely and sad wannabe musician accidentally meets a girl, similar to him, with whom he slowly falls in love. Their adventure takes place during a very busy night in which both were searching for a hard to find concert. A lot of difficult and awkward situations take place but the two manage to keep it together, while their feelings for each other get more and more powerful.It's an enjoyable story which features a combination of emotion, laughter and drama. The two get together nicely although they seem to have nothing in common, and until the end, they manage to overcome their fears and let love take its course. As a downside, it is a bit too superficial in many aspects while inserting some boring and predictable moments from time to time. It ends well so I will recommend it especially to teen movie lovers.

Im not going to go in depth on this review as I feel that the best reviews are the shortest so... Michel Cera plays a angst Teen who has just broken up with his girlfriend struggling to cope. This leads to him making mixed Cds (formerly tapes) which end up in the path of Norah one of his exes friends. This leads to a night where they more than cross paths. Thats it in a nutshell know comes to the good and bad... GOOD 1)Michel Cera is pro, not his best but still entertaining 2)The musical choice overall is good although that is subjective 3)The Supporting Cast overall is good and fun BAD 1)I don't feel the Characters are fully developed, I just didn't connect with them, Might just be me 2)Kat Dennings, OK don't get me wrong she was OK, OK. But opposite Cera I feel she lost all likability. 3)Story was very average and had a few holes and hard to believe moments. Verdict 6/10 Yeh its worth the watch if you like Superbad or Juno but otherwise its just okay I guess........ Just my Opinion.........
