Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Nick a heartbroken bass player wallows in his grief by making mixed CD's for his ex-girlfriend, who quickly discards them. Norah has been retrieving the CD's from the garbage and is in awe of the mixes.

This teenage comedy has some really funny dialogue and does a fabulous job at creating the awkward teenage angst. However despite it's laugh out loud moments, which are kind of hit and miss, the pacing is off and the show seemed to drag. The quirky side characters, which are poorly underdeveloped and underused, come in and out of the script at random times--again throwing the timing off.

Overall it isn't horrid and has some amazingly memorable lines--but it isn't Juno or even Napoleon Dynamite for that matter.
Netflix it.

** 1/2 Rentable

Rated PG-13 (for language and sexual content)
