After a brief respite it was back to the Ryerson for three films in a row. We got there plenty early for the first one, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (tiff), knowing it would be popular. And it was, with the director and pretty much the entire cast (including Michael Cera and my girlfriend du jour Kat Dennings).

I thought going into it this one would be funny and cute and entertaining, and it was all of those things. Funnier than I expected, smarter dialogue than you’d expect in a teen-targeted movie (but not without some very funny toilet humour), charming leads and entertaining side stories. Completely enjoyable, highly recommended.

Q&As were a little light, but that was to be expected with that kind of film. I can pretty much guarantee that nobody went away hating it, and many of us walked away humming songs from the (asskicking) soundtrack. To quote Bishop Allen: “alright.”

B+
