When I first heard about “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” I was less than intrigued. It looked like another goofy, unlucky in love teenagers flick with Michael Cera yet again typecast. After watching the just-released trailer for “Nick and Norah” that was pretty much all confirmed. However, the delivery came across much better than I expected and doesn’t look that bad after all.

What’s Michael Cera going to do once he’s not passable as a high schooler anymore? He’s one of my favorite young actors out there now, but I hope he gets some wider choices soon before his window closes. There are a few moments in the trailer below where you can really see how much he learned from Jason Bateman’s performance on “Arrested Development”, which is definitely a good thing.
