Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist

Out on DVD & Blu-Ray from June 22nd

I love Michael Cera. There is nothing that can happen to change that for the time being. Even this film Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Michael Cera is playing Michael Cera and that is most enjoyable. Forget the loose plot, superficial two-dimensional characters and random token sex perversion, Michael Cera is awesome.

The top ten things I like best about Michael Cera are:

10. He’s a local boy. Hometown not far from my own of Toronto.

9. Arrested Development is one of the greatest television comedies of our generation, and he is a great contributor to that fact.

8. He always looks terrified in front of the camera. After all these years of pro acting, you’d think he’d loosen up a bit. Charming.

7. His voice hasn’t cracked yet. And probably never will.

6. The kid’s only 21 years old and already a mega star comedian.

5. His first role was an unpaid appearance in a Tim Hortons summer camp commercial. For non-Canadians, Tim Hortons is a legendary DONUT chain. Think the McDonalds of donuts. Mmm..

4. THIS

3. 1:07: “you guys step on my heart every day!”

2. He’s so purdy.

1. He just MAKES ME LAUGH!

Anyway, if you feel the same way about Michael Cera that I do, then you shall enjoy this film. But if you don’t, then don’t bother. We’re giving away a few copies so try before you buy a la Loose Lips Contests.
