Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
There's just something about Michael Cera in films that take place over the course of one night, right?
This looks pretty earnest and, to be honest, a bit too grown up for the leads involved. It's weird to see Cera and Kat Dennings playing people old enough to drink and, to be honest, it gives the whole trailer a weird tone. It does seem more like it should star Justin Long and Zooey Deschanel, doesn't it? Don't get me wrong, I love Cera like I love my first cousin, but great actors/comedians are miscast all the time.
But with the way its so driven by of-the-moment indie music, perhaps it could be a less smug Garden State (with more likable leads)?

I don't know. It works for me. It's not like he's a smooth operator. He's just an older version of his Superbad character.
Correct me if I'm weird but, aren't they actually old enough to drink? I know Kat is 22 and Michael is at least 20 so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to say he's 21.
Only thing I don't like is how he always gets the same roles, it always disappoints me when actors are typecast, especially actors I like. It's like he's the same character he was in Arrested Development and Superbad. I'd like to see him play a total douche bag in a movie or something, build range.
