My Response: To me, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist looks like a very enjoyable offbeat comedy. A lot of people will compare this film to last year's big hit Juno, but give it a break and just enjoy it from the time you sit down to watch it to the time the credits roll, and you'll have a good time. Rent it and enjoy it!

My Input: I loved the novel this movie is based on, and I really hope the film is able to capture the dark comedy from the book, but with Gregg being a first time director, I'm skeptical. However, early reviews seem pretty solid, so I'm looking forward to checking this one out!
