An American teen movie that manages to be cool and smart and also sweet, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is the tale of a pair of teenagers – slightly dorky Nick (played by Juno’s Michael Cera) and insecure Norah (Kat Dennings, who was impressive in the offbeat high-school comedy Charlie Bartlett last year and even has her own blog) – who unexpectedly hook up in the course of one long New York night. Peter Sollett’s film is a bit too laid-back for its own good, but it does have some witty bickering banter between the leads plus a cool soundtrack from a bunch of achingly hip indie bands including Vampire Weekend, We Are Scientists and Band of Horses. (General release from 30th January.)
