Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Movies Like Juno If You’re Looking for Something Similar
We all know about that one spectacular night that changes your life forever, a seemingly endless evening that rockets past midnight and sets in motion an uncontrollable and unforgettable chain of events.
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist takes place on such a night, and on this night the various adolescent characters are all hunting down the secret show of a New York band called ‘Where’s Fluffy?’.
Nick and Norah (Michael Cera and Kat Dennings) meet on this night and end up joining forces to track down the ever-elusive band and, while their relationship starts out a bit rocky they, of course, eventually start falling for each other.
But while the premise might feel somewhat predictable at times, the movie throws in a healthy dose of subtle twists that keep the story fresh and interesting including jealous exes, a lost drunk girl, and relentlessly positive queercore band called the ‘The Jerk-Offs’.
Coupled with a wide range of indie punk ballads that perfectly set the mood, and a wonderfully chosen cast (who doesn’t love an awkward Michael Cera), Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a playful and energetic indie love film that you definitely shouldn’t miss.
Why is it like Juno? Except for a perpetually-awkward Michael Cera, it has the same upbeat atmosphere and a great cast of supporting characters.
