SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it es unnoticed.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Mark Oakley I really enjoyed this film.I wasn't an indie band fan when I was a kid, and I never lived in NYC, and gay culture wasn't nearly so commonly accepted in the 80's, but I definitely one or two nights like Nick & Norah's. -That is, being shy and confused and alive and in love and following a bizarre series of events with little meaning until dawn, doing stupid things with friends because I had the energy and, 'it felt right at the time'. -I euphoric madness warring with the pull to be adult and responsible. This film captured that well, I thought.I feel like I knew those people.Yes, yes, yes, this film *was* filled with cliché. Real life has more subtleties and layers, and with smart people it also contains a meta-awareness, a self-observation. But I think this film WAS the meta-awareness and self-observation. -It had a need to pull a bunch of brief and random treasures together into a 90 minute narrative. (Treasures like sidewalk gawkers cheering when the car door was unlocked; Observations likely collected from genuine experiences). I can forgive a bit of contrivance to get that job done, especially when the treasures were sweet and the contrivances were smooth and earnestly performed.But here's a strange thing: I notice that this film has touched more than one nerve or two; there are some very strong reactions in the reviews for this movie which don't seem to stem from legitimate literary criticisms, but rather something more personal. -Which seems odd, given that nothing terribly intense happened. With the exception of a couple of garden-variety selfish jerks, the characters were quite harmless and kind.Anyway, I'd give this film a chance. It may strike a chord with you, as it did with me. If it doesn't, well.., just stop watching.
eyeintrees At first I liked the cast. They're all likable and usually great... with one exception... the vomiting, heaving, foul drunken blonde creature who ruined this entire movie for me. Now, it may be the script required her to be utterly grotesque in every possible way, but there's 'drunk, funny' and 'drunk utterly vile should be shot'... she was the latter.And it just all took too long... if a running around, looking for the hidden, is done well, a movie can just be a bundle of fun... but when so much time was spent on grotesque, vomiting, pulling her cell out of a vomit-filled toilet female who is ostensibly a slut, and yet, strangely, would like to make out with three previous guys but actually worries about being in a van with three others and runs away... what a mess of a movie.Nope, not for me. Apparently its high rating is because it appeals to people with too much time on their hands who think ugly drunk girls are funny and who think that waiting for any kind of romance is interesting and that really bad music tops it off. Biggest load of crap I've seen in a while.
kikikikikiki-245-822852 Okay so i didn't have high hopes for this film going into it, though i do like a lot of Michael Cera's work his awkward manorisms sometimes get on my nerves. This film was no exception to that but he fit the part very well, he's shy but charming just like Nick is. This film being a teen flick will obviously appeal more to that age range, but i think everyone can say they have been in one of the situations that occurs in this film, it's cheesy at parts which i love, it left me with a warm happy feeling after watching it, like a good film should. It's also quite unexpectedly hilarious at times, it's a great easy watching film which i would definitely recommend or even watch again.
Wevs like i said wevs OK, I won't go on about how bad this film is but I just want to know one thing.Are kids in America seriously like that ? I mean I know movies exaggerate to be entertaining but they usually derive character traits and local culture automatically into them based on the writers surroundings and immediate environment. So I wonder.... are kids in America really like the ones in this film ?Because within the first 4 minutes after the credits, I wanted felt so embarrassed by the characters personalities (or lack of) that I found it hard to keep looking at the screen. I turned off the film within the 10th minute just because I didn't care in the slightest for any of the characters including the main guy who I know I was meant to like.This was the script that I heard:Girl 1: Hey whatever, your a bitch. Girl 2: You're a bitch slut. Girl 1: Ha ha that's so funny. Going out tonight? Girl 2: Yeah slut but not with that whore Girl 3: Who you calling a whore bitch .....etc etcI mean what happened to Hello, how is you day ?
