Sweet but cheesy. I enjoyed it more for the NYC settings (oh nostalgia to my early NYC days…Ludlow Street, I miss you!) than for the plot which I thought was sadly more juvenile than I expected. Unlike Juno, which was very much a movie about growing up, Nick and Norah was just about “being that age.” Also found the title a bit of a misnomer. Like buying a sign that says “we really want to hype our soundtrack.”

But Michael Cera did give a wonderfully tender, nuanced performance. So there’s that.

On the surface, a very funny, often abruptly violent movie that you could easily just laugh through and enjoy “for what it is.” Dig a little deeper and there’s some very prescient criticism of the (practically defunct? hello 9/11) US spy system.

Hilarious and very twitchy performances by Clooney, Pitt and McDormand. Over the top and really hilarious belligerence by Malkovich.

Beautifully filmed. Lovely understated performance by Keira Knightley. But oh so very, very sad.
