Nick and Norah

Last night, we took advantage of our $6.50 tickets to the movies and saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. It was ridiculously fantastic.

It definitely had the Juno vibe going on, but it had it's own character that made it so incredibly charming. There were hysterical moments that made me wonder, "did they intend for that to be funny?"...and it totally worked. It was the perfect combination of comedy, drama, romance and drunken mishaps - many of which I could relate to on a much less extreme manner. I left the theater feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, which is usually a sign that I will likely spend the $15 on the DVD when it comes out. I will also add it to my favorite movies under my facebook profile. Now THAT's true love.

The soundtrack is sure to be swell - given the title of the movie, it would be a shame if it wasn't. I loved Michael Cera (Nick)'s addiction to mixed CD's...they are probably my most favorite thing of all time. You just can't be in a bad mood when you listen to a whole CD of good tunes. Unless you use music to fuel your fire or make you cry a thousand tears. Which I do, on occasion.

Anyway, enough of my less-than-expert-like review of the movie, I just think it was great and I want to see it again so I can redeem that ooey-gooey feeling again. Makes me want to curl up in a fuzzy blanket and hug someone that I love.
