Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist takes everything you loved in three decades of teenage romance and twists it into something unrecognisably desperate and exploitative.

Tom Huddlestone, Time Out
Rotten

I would love the film more if the film didn't love itself so much.

Ben Lyons, At the Movies

What makes the film work in spite of itself is [director] Sollett's sympathy for his characters and the teamwork between Cera and Dennings, whose winsome sultriness seems entirely unaffected.

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

Like Before Sunrise or the lovely karaoke-bar sequence at the center of Lost in Translation, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist captures the excitement of exploring a city with someone you barely know and really, really like.

Dana Stevens, Slate
Rotten

There's not much reality or intellect to be found.
