Love usually takes longer than an evening to develop.
But Peter Sollet, the director of "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," pulls it off on screen.
Originally a novel by Rachel Cohn, this movie involves two teens who are passionate about music.
An unlikely sequence of events leads Nick (Michael Cera), the guitarist of the Queercore band, and Norah (Kat Dennings), the daughter of a record label owner, to spend an entire night together.
Wonderful actors and the illusion of real-teenage confusion reflect a similar style and feel found in the 2007 movie, "Juno."
Even though no one wants to admit it, sometimes we can all act strange or nervous around those we love. And does this film ever capture that awkwardness.
The characters feel exactly as complicated and confused as every teen does, not knowing if they said the right thing or acted the right way.
The entire movie does a fantastic job of depicting how tumultuous and crazy a teen's life is and seems made for teenagers.
In the end, it helps us all better understand what we already knew, that our lives are roller coasters and with the up and down movements, we build our life stories.
