Through the course of Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, I never quite understood the notion of the infinite playlist itself. Nora's dad works for the Electric Lady Studio, and Nick made 12 volumes of mix CD's for his ex-girlfriend. However, the majority of the movie had nothing to do with a playlist--infinite or otherwise. It was an infinite search--for Fluffy, for Caroline, for love, and for solutions to the problems that they had made for themselves. If anything, Nick and Nora's playlist was filled with the repercussions of low self-esteem.
Overall, it was a feel-good movie that tried a little too hard to appeal to Juno-loving audiences. The odd quirks, old cars, and music inclined teenagers were reminiscent of the style in Juno. The foreshadowing in the movie was annoying and unnecessary. The sexual relationship between Nick and Nora was forced, and not natural.
Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist was funny. The movie has laugh-out-loud moments, and a lot of funny quotes. Nick and Nora was definitely not the intellectual film that I expected to see from the trailer.
